My Family

On my other blog I mentioned my fam a lot but I have never laid it out there. Our family structure is well....a bit odd. Complex, but it works. Some say that it takes a village to raise a child-which is how we operate. We are loud, opinionated, turbulent, and boisterous.

No we are not Greek, nor Italian.

We are the "Chavez Clan". We don't all have the same last names, or believe that the sun shines out of each others' asses. We fight sometimes...a lot. Be we love each other. Without family, without each other we would be nothing.

We are lazy slobs who prefer to sleep until noon. But we are also goal oriented-our tact could use improvement. Our intercommunication needs help too, but we can make this happen. We want to start a sustainable family farm.

All my life we have moved around, Dad was military. We settled in Texas for a while, now Oregon. We want to make this place ours. Start traditions, like cutting down the christmas tree at the same family farm each year, or decorating the outdoor trees with food for the birds during the holidays. Make canning fruit a family affair, and enjoying our lives together. We want a place big enough for sitdown holiday meals, and a kitchen that five people can cook in.

We can and we will.

A place to call home...
