Christmas Day.

Not been the most eventful of days on the surface, opened presents and watched TV mostly, the evening was interesting, skyped the boyfriend where I encountered his entire family, and we played Mr and Mrs, and we won even though I wasn't physically there! Testament to our relationship I think! And have followed it up with a nice deep conversation via text.

Which got me thinking. As you get older you start to view 'family' differently, it starts to extend beyond your actual relatives to friends and in this case your other half and their family. I have a couple, or even one maybe, very very close friend/s who I can see as being a life long friend and if they weren't I'd be pretty upset. So in a sense they are considered 'family'. But once you get even older, which in this case I mean 30ish and if you have a long term partner, they are your family, even if you never have children or the like it's still your own personal family that you made.
To me thats the best, because its the family you choose yourself. And I believe I've already found it. Which makes me super happy because I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I'm just lucky to have found that person very young.
