Announcing the Bean Family Reunion

Announcing the Bean Family Reunion

Family reunions are only as successful as the desire we have to spend time with one another. I am so grateful that I live in a family with such great people that I get excited to see t each reunion. How blessed are we that we live in such a family! In today's world, it is so rare to have siblings who care to keep in contact with one another so regularly after childhood. My patriarchal blessing tells me that if I do certain things, my children will always have a desire to take part in my family. As I think about our family, and the desire I have to take part in it, I can't think of many greater promises than one that my children will feel the same kinship to their family as I do to mine.

I'm grateful that I have amazing siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews, and especially parents whom I am excited to see. I appreciate the sacrifices so many of you have made to try to keep the family close. I appreciate all the work Jen goes to create family trips. I appreciate the texts Stephani sends to the family. I appreciate the blog Greg created where we can all communicate. I appreciate Jeff and the extra time he spends with us since we live so close. I appreciate Mom and Dad who are willing to travel around to visit any and all of us. I appreciate that Mike organizes games of Magic for us little boys each week. I appreciate the fact that Alisha is committed to traveling so far so that we can spend some time with her and her family.

Overall, I'm grateful that each one of us has such a desire to be with the family that they are willing to sacrifice time and effort to make the family reunion a success. We are excited to see you all again and hope this reunion will help strengthen the family ties we all hold dear.
