The Finical family– if someone were to ask me what they are like, I’d start by saying, “They’re the inviting type. The type that makes you feel like family within minutes of conversation, the type that knows no strangers, only friends they haven’t met yet.” Carson and Laura are warm, and their geniality is a trait their children have taken upon themselves to not merely inherit, but radiate within the world. Jessica and Chris are old friends of mine who are now pursuing their education at Arizona State University. Jess is a Vice President of a sorority, and Chris spends his time with close buds and darling girlfriend, Monica. Carson explains his son as the type who saves his money up to take his boys out for dinner and drinks. It’s a sort of hospitality they live by that I think the world is craving more of- that we know too little about. For them, this closeness begins- but does not end- with the unchanging love and comfort found in family.

Thank you guys for warming me with your kindness, and sharing the infectious love you have for one another. Blessings to you and yours this new year!
