Family

Here are a few pictures of the Redin clan (top photo also includes my "little" sister, Elizabeth). I am very blessed to have married into a godly, warm, and inviting family. God has been gracious to me. I know many, many people who struggle to feel accepted and comfortable with their inlaws, especially if their inlaws are a tight-knit bunch. However, anyone who knows the Redins knows that they are a kind and gracious family. They are so welcoming that they have had complete strangers knock on their door (mistakenly) for Thanksgiving, invited them in, served them a plate of food, and not discovered that the strangers were at the wrong house until several minutes later. Now that is hospitality!

It is quite an honor to be one of them.

Hey Bec,

I love you in braids! Never seen that look on you before, but you should definitely keep doing it. :)
