An ode to true love. . .Eleven brothers and sisters, two incredible parents, eleven spouses, loads and loads of kids and no fighting, no gossiping-- just happiness. How did that happen? Seriously with over 88 people at our first, real Allred reunion and everyone just loved each other. I give the credit to Mom and her prayers. I also, give credit to her plea during our family meeting that we don't ever leave anyone behind. I thought the mtg., might be a little long, or boring, but I was very inspired listening to Dad, Mom and everyone who participated. Mark got me feeling patriotic, and proud of my country and I loved hearing the updates from various family members. I also give double high fives to Meg for planning this event. If she wouldn't have done so much to organize and plan and send e-mails, and encourage everyone to come it would have just ended up being a good idea. I love my family so much and feel I am not deserving of the love of so many people, of knowing no matter what trials come my way, I have loads of people who would "be there for me". Thanks to everyone for being so dang wonderful!!!

O I love these pictures so so much!! You are the best you know!! And I like what you wrote. We are so blessed to have this family!
great pics, sisterly. and yes, that meeting turned out to be awesome. i got a lot of it on video and am so glad. we were all kind of teasing that dad was insisting on it but i think it pulled it all together in a good spiritual way. and yes, other than little children quarreling some, there was no anger or anything at all. amazing! i sure love you!
p.s. thanks for getting that pic of andre with the frog goggles. so cool.
