How to Start a Family in 3 Easy Steps

Welcome to the ninth day of the 2019 Love Blog Challenge! Today’s prompt is Family. Check out the announcement post for all the prompts and rules this month. You can still join the link-up for yesterday’s topic, Creativity.

Are you ready to start a family? A few years ago, I decided I was ready to start a family, but I wasn’t sure where to begin.

Luckily, starting a family is really easy! In fact, you can start a family in just 3 steps!

  1. Find the right person or people.
  2. Ask if they want to start a family with you.
  3. Start a family!

See, totally easy!

Your family can be as big or as small as you like.

Dan and I started our family almost five years ago. On one magical morning in San Antonio, we started as two people from different families. But after we said, “I do,” we became our own new family. A family of two.

We’re still part of our original families, but now Dan and I are our own family.

We don’t need children to be a family

We don’t need pets to be a family.

Dan and I are a family, just the two of us, the way we are right now.

One day we hope to grow our family. Maybe with a pet snake. Maybe with a baby. If we’re lucky, we can have both one day!

But for now, I love our little family.

I love our marriage.

I love knowing that Dan is mine, and I am his.
