We are lucky to close to husband's family. His parents and both siblings live with in a half an hour drive of us. We have been blessed to spend at least an evening or two each month with these wonderful people since we moved here over 9 years ago. I think it is not only wonderful for my husband and myself to have the support of his family when we need it, but it also wonderful for my children to really get to know their cousins in a way that I never knew mine due to how far apart from each other we lived. I hope as they grow they will continue to be close. I know that we are blessed to all be here together. And as I look back on how we all ended up living here very close to each other I see the hand of God guiding our lives. I know that my Heavenly Father wants us to live here. I think that part of the reason may be so that we can support and be supported by our extended family. I am also grateful that about 5 years ago my sister moved here to be close to us. I have loved to get to know her better and am glad that she choose to live where we could be together. It is also wonderful that my parents live 8 hours away. Just close enough to drive in a day. I am so glad that they travel here once or twice a year and that we are able to travel there once a year. I feel so blessed in our family relationships.

Extended Family
