Far From The Typical Family

"Remember as far as anyone knows, we're a nice normal family." 

So why do we refer to ourselves as family, you ask?  

It all started one day in Taco Bell after Church (prior to Nate and Derek's meeting.)  After a very frustrating day that occurred between Derek and Kristen, and me and Frank, Kristen and I both vented to Nate over chicken burritos at 9 at night.  After some serious ranting took place I threw my burrito down and said, "Fine! I've figured it out! Kristen, you can marry Frank, and I can marry Derek, and we can be one huge flippin dysfunctional family!" What was meant to be a serious comment turned into a hilarious statement soon followed by Nate claiming that he also wanted to be a part of our family but he wanted to be the adopted child. 


So from then on we've referred to ourselves as family, minus Frank, who has no idea that any of this has taken place.  But regardless, that's what we are.  When we're away from our real families back home, we always have each other on campus and it's really a wonderful (and often times eventful) thing. 

    

So now you know that we're always

putting the FUN back into the

 term "dysfunctional family!"
