151223 - CrossFit | Non-traditional Family

I was having lunch the other day and noticed what would be in popular opinion, a non-traditional family, with two dads and a few kids. I was thinking about how my own family was non-traditional in that my mother did most of the raising, while my father was deployed. And how many of our families within CFNFC are unique in their own way. I'm not actually sure anyone's family would fit into the "traditional" family role as understood by the general populace. 

Our community is a non-traditional family. We have parents: Donette and Misty like to take care of me like moms despite not being much older than me. Ashley followed everyone around the party with a paper towel and cleaned up after folks. I act like the disappointed disciplinarian dad all the time and Rene is the cool dad that teaches people tricks that help people out. I think we all treat Kayla like our kid or at very least our kid sister and give her equal parts ribbing and advice. Everyone has a role to play and everyone plays a role. It's interesting to watch the dynamic when I'm coaching or when Bri is coaching, and see the interpersonal relationships within our community. 

We're a family. A sometimes dysfunctional, often hilarious, pretty solid family and I'm proud to be a part of it. When people leave, it's sad. When new people show up, they're adding new life to the long and proud tradition of CrossFit North Fort Collins. When good things happen we're happy for one another and when bad things happen, we grieve and support one another. That makes us a pretty great family. 

Thanks very much for being my family.
