Beyond blessed

I think often I take it for granted, not realizing how rare it is. I mentioned on Thursday to my friends at school that I was excited because my grandparents were coming to College Station and we were going to see them. They were all amazed that I still had my grandparents. Even my students were surprised... of course some of them think I'm 50 so their surprise isn't something to get worked up about. It was wonderful to see all my family on Thursday and Friday night. All of mom's sisters were there as well as one of my cousins. She has 2 girls that Avery just adores so she had a blast as well. Now I'm looking forward to our annual summer trip to Missouri even more. And looking forward to spring break when we get to spend time with Josh's parents. How fortunate and blessed we are to have family.
