Family

So today is the start of family weekend, a great time to spend with the family. It is an excuse to actually enjoy myself relaxing instead of going out. I was going to just go to my place for the night, but then I realized how nice it would be to sleep in a larger bed tonight. So here I am now with the family at a hotel just relaxing. I think I get too spoiled by my family. Most kids go off to college to grow up or mature and get away from their parents strict rules. Not me... I think I see my parents almost every other week. Between them coming down for the football games and me going to Phoenix for a weekend get away, I keep in contact with them quite often. I was never the type of kid who wanted to leave home and get away. I know some people who all they do is fight with their parents when they are with them. Going to college was a life saver for them. No longer were they subjected to arguments and curfews. They were free from it all. I guess I was just different. I always got along with my family, except for the few brat years I went through during middle school and early high school. Since then, I grew up, and have wanted to be around my family every second I could. I guess I always looked at it this way: friends and parties and all of that stuff are going to eventually go away. My family on the other hand will not. I know I can always go back to them if I need help with anything. I guess that is why I don't get upset at stupid girl things or friend things or anything like that. I just realize how superficial it all is, and come to the conclusion that my family is one of the more important things in my life. I just hope that when I become a parent my children will have this same respect for me as I have for my parents. Parents will always do anything for you. At least mine will. If I am upset, they are always there for me. Right now, I am enjoying sitting here completely. It is a great experience in life to have a well loved family.
