Tenney Reunion 2013

There a few places that take me away from the rest of the world and family reunion is one of those places. Surrounded by people I love and who love me, catching up, sitting back, laughing, smiling, and simply enjoying eachother's company. Sometime when I think about my family, it bubbles up inside of me until it all spills out as a smile that nearly lifts my feet off the ground. There is so much love in our family and I know that we're so close because we have Christ in our lives. He is the center piece of all of our lives and brings us even closer together.
This year we we're in the great state of Colorado once again! I used to never understand when people who came to Texas said they missed their mountains, but I'm starting to get it. They towered over us pressing into the sky, almost stretching it out and making the air thin. So thin that running down the road takes your breath away! And games of capture the flag leave you exhausted. :) We had lots of adventures with cousins, uncles, aunts, and siblings. Many tennis games were played, footballs were tossed, and mountains were climbed. Some rafted down river rapids, others ziplined over white water, and Everyone participated in the Tenney Olympics. As usual, there was a little talent show, and for the first time in five years there was the adored Tenney puppet show put on by no other than uncle Trey and uncle Kendall! After the fun filled week with the people I most love and adore, my gratitude for eternal families grows immensely! I know that families are forever. I know that a family that is centered on Christ will experience great happiness while on earth and the greatest joy in the next life. I like to think that the precious moments I share with my family here is a glimpse of eternity. :)
