My family

Well, the time has come to introduce you to the people who are responsible for the way I am today - please blame them. A certain someone has been on me about doing a post about my family so I have finally caved in to her wishes. In doing this, I've realized that I need to get better at keeping more recent pictures - some of the ones below are several years or more older.

Let's start with a picture from the most important day of Don's life...the day he married me. Below is all of my family in August, 2001.

The patriarch and matriarch of the Dunn family - Tuck and Sandra. They moved to Greenville from Dallas last summer (to be close to their favorite and 2nd favorite daughters). They are both retired, but Mom is starting her 2nd career as a concert pianist (well, she's in her 2nd month of piano lessons so it's a start).


My oldest sister, Shari. Shari's husband is Eric and their kids are Colton and Erica. Colton is a sophomore at DePauw University and Erica goes to high school in San Antonio. Shari and Eric live in Dallas, BUT just bought some property here so they will eventually be closer to us - at least for part of the year! Although, having Eric so close to us might be cause for concern (please refer to the 2nd picture shown below).




Another OLDER sister, Kim. Kim is married to Ted and they have 4 children and live in Kankakee, IL. Ted is a pastor and Kim works at the Christian school affiliated with their church. Eric, their oldest son, is a freshman at Pensacola Christian college. Alyssa is a senior in high school (going to Pensacola next year on a volleyball scholarship), Abby is in 8th grade and Alan is in 3rd grade.




Another OLDER sister, Andrea. Andrea has to be close to me at all times so she moved her family TWO streets over from me. She and her husband, Smitty (Scott), have two kiddos - Lily and Clay. Lily is 8 and Clay is 5. Smitty is in medical sales and Andrea is a professional TJ Maxx shopper and, in her spare time, a stay-at-home mom.




My only (and OLDER) brother, Paul. Paul and his wife, Lori, have two cute boys - Grant and Hunter. They live in Dallas where Paul is a pilot for Southwest Airlines. Lori stays at home with the boys and holds down the fort while Paul flys.




Here are just a few more pictures from my family's trip to Charleston last summer (2007).




Since my family now reads my blog I'm sure they will have something to say about my description of them or their pictures. Oh well...won't be the first time they've been upset with their YOUNGER sister! :)

P.S. I'll do another post about Don's family. This post was getting way too long and I know you're ready to move on.
