FAMILY

This week I have been in South Carolina with Cob's family. It was really hard for us to be apart while I was in Mexico, so I was really looking forward to being together during this family vacation. Cob has a fair amount of relatives that live on the East coast, and it was fun to get to know them, too.

We stayed in a beautiful hotel right on Myrtle Beach, and we spent all day everyday going back and forth between the ocean and the pool, then showering off before having family dinner. Because I have known Cob for a long time, I already felt pretty comfortable with his family, I even knew some of his extended family fairly well. But after spending a week with them, I can honestly say that I love them as much as my own family. I love the way they never yell at each other and the way they can never make a decision because they're all so easy going. I love how healthy his mom is and how much they pamper baby Lily. In the important things (love, faith, devotion) they're just like my own family, but in personality, they are totally different.

I think that is one of the most exciting things about getting married--not only is it the opportunity to bring someone new into your family, but you get a whole new family of your own! You get another brother and sister, another mom and dad, another grandmother and grandfather. I love Cob’s family so much. I can’t wait to make them mine officially. Here’s some pictures from our trip!
