Fambly with a B




Last night Jessica (Ambers niece) surprised her with a ticket to Utah for her birthday. After figuring out the schedule Amber set the dates for a Thanksgiving/Birthday trip. It was fun for Amber to talk to her niece and laugh about the silly and absurd things that our family does. Some things we can mention..like dumpster diving, and other things we just wont even talk about. It's a fambly with a b. Jessica is around the same age as Amber and her sisters Celeste and Aimee, so they are all especially close.

Family relationships are an interesting dynamic. There will be outrageous fights, where Amber has sat on her throne like a princess and proclaimed she would "never talk to these guys again" and there has been laughter, tears, memories, experiences like no other, and overall alot of real love. Amber is blessed to have her family where they were all taught the importance of being together, and loving each other. The hillbilly yelling was also taught unfortunately, but at the end of the day--there is always a special bond with her family that is like no other bond in the world. These are the people that have a real understanding of who she is, and she knows them--and there will always be ..fambly.

Nancy, Lisa, Lee, Amber, Celeste, Aimee.
And then there are all of their children, grown up in body, but never in spirit. xoxo

Amber is all grown up she has her own family with a B. Allie is the most beautiful person in the world to Amber, and she makes Amber smile constantly. She is with her dad in Oklahoma during the school year, but she will be hopping on the first plane home for Christmas. Our family is ageless and timeless...and family with or without the B is the most important thing in the world. For this dog, I am glad to be a part of it.
