Everyone has people they miss: friends, family, or anyone else you can think of. This past weekend, I got to spend a day with my second family. Two of them I haven't seen since October 2014, two of them I haven't seen since February 2015, and the other one of them, I haven't seen since May 2015. Right now, I miss my second family so much. You don't even understand.
We call it the Dasher Fam. You may be wondering who my second family is made up of. Well, I posted a picture up above of us this past weekend. From left to right we have Me, Dan Smyers, Ali, Marci, Allison, and Shay Mooney. I bet your probably saying, woah, Dan + Shay are your second family? Yeah, we consider this a second family. We have so many memories over the past three years since they've started out, it's crazy. We've all been there since the start. Even though the girls and I have only known each other for about a year and a half, we had so many memories with the boys, whether it's our own memories with the boys or our memories together. We will always be one big family.
This past weekend was the first time we've all been together since last October. It was an absolute blast! It was my first time seeing the boys in eight months, and they were so excited to see the girls and I all together. We waited in the cold and rain for 11 hours to be almost front and center for the boys. From waiting in the crazy weather to me being my crazy self to the crazy drunks at Country In The Capitol, we were making memories that will last a lifetime. Having to leave my second family this past weekend was so hard. The heartache you get when you don't know the next time you'll see them is seriously the worst.

It doesn't matter what we've been though, because it makes us all stronger in some way. It can also teach you things you can't learn otherwise. We are all Just The Right Kind Of Crazy for our families.
To my Second Family:
"Damn, Baby, I'm Proud." We've been through so much in a lot or a little time; from Fahlo to CMA Fest to the road trips to the shows, from our crazy nicknames like Nate's Pocket Pal and Ninja Mooney to inside jokes like "I swear guys, I drive better while eating." I love you guys so much. I could never thank you enough for everything I've learned from y'all. Thanks for all the music and memories.
It's never goodbye. It's always see you later. I'm looking forward to the everlasting bear hugs that get me through the days, the laughs we share while waiting the long ass lines, the memories from every show, the music we play and sing endlessly, and the things that make us, well, us. Love you lots and see you soon.
