FAMILY

There will come a time when family, is all that will be reliable on in hard times. Kind of like right now. I come from a small family that consisted of my mom -Valerie, my dad- David, me  and my two younger sisters Melissa and Michaela.  Our family has had very great times growing up, and also memories that werent so good. I can always remember my parents being stern, with a lil flexibility when it was needed. Getting older the family stayed close, but not as close as it should have been.  Particularly because like I said growing up, "finding our own way". 

I got married at 17 years old, to the love of my life Tylor Jay Durfee. Even though my parents didn't feel he was right for me I devoted myself into proving that he was. I already had a daughter Tatyana, who was 8 months when we got married.  But that didn't matter to Tylor he loved both of us regaurdless. To take care of someone elses child as if she was his own.  Which at this point my parents were happy to see the love he offered to me, was offered to Tatyana as well. 

Over the years we had our struggles, and in later blogs will be talked about.  But we have found our niche on what works to keep us happy and first and fore most is our kids. Tatyana, Dallas j, Austin, Shaianne, Tyson, Sasha. these kids have been the glue that have made our family stronger. We at one time almost lost gods precious cargo, and after realizing we needed to make changes "we did". I will forever remember how my family came together, to form a bond that today has grown stronger.
