I would like to talk about a different type of family though. I would like to talk about a family that I call my own even though they are not blood related. I have been riding horses with this family for over 5 years now. They know my ups and downs and accepts me for who I am. First there is the mom Christine, who I call mom she is energetic and the most caring person I know, not to mention that she feeds me constantly. Then there is the dad, Randy, hopefully one day her will walk me down the isle because he has been a great father figure to be, letting me walk in at any time of the night or day and stay in his house. They then have 3 wonderful kids. Lauren who is now in her 2nd year away at college and I miss her every time I go to my barn to ride my horse wishing she was back home. Jenny who is a jr in high school and is my little sister who rides with me all the time(who by the way in incredibly mature for her age) and Ryan who is in 7th grade and until only about 6 months ago would barely talk to anyone in the house.
I know this family almost as well as they know me. I am always over at their house multiple times during the week and go on trips with them a lot. Now I am not down playing my own mother because she of course is the single most best thing in my life. But I have realized that there are people out there who care about you if you look in the right places. My second family has been a blessing on my life and I thank God every single day of my life. I cannot wait to share good and bad experiences with them for the rest of my life.
