the loves of my life.

i love when my family gets together.

even though it's not everyone,

having the people you care about most

around is the best thing ever.

i have a lot of family.

half, step, in-law, whatever.

you name it, i've got it.

if they all got together,

we'd probably fill a church gym.

but the ones i get to see soon,

are my half family.

bridgit, bobby, jaidin, korbin;

all from las vegas.

brianne, adam, karsen, gabe, kole;

from pleasant grove.

brendi, steven, nobi, conner;

coming from oklahoma.

all here, at my house, for thanksgiving.

we put aside our problems,

our worries, our prejudices,

just to be together and stuff our faces.

i love that.

being with my nephews, the loves of my life.

i'd do anything for them. i really would.

hopefully they know that.

sharing the laughter, the memories.

i miss them.

all of them. all the time.

that's weird, isn't it?

plus we're getting a new dog.

her name is binx.

there are going to be lots of animals, too.

b.b., bruno, bear, booboo, binx, and curly.

five dogs, one cat.

i believe it's going to be a madhouse.

at least i'll be with the ones i love.
