The Smith
Family

My parents are Fred and Carol Smith. They are both retired school teachers. I am so thankful for the both of them. My dad is great guy. He's a little stern sometimes, but he has taught me some great things, and for that I am very thankful.   My mom truly has a servant's heart.  She is always giving and providing for the family in any way she can.  We could not function without Mom!

My sister Libby lives in San Angelo, TX.  She is 30 yrs old and is married to a pretty cool guy named Nathan.  They have one kiddo named Ryan (on the left).  He is about as hip as it comes for a 3 year old.  I think he is well on his way to being a ladies man!  Anyway, my sis and I used to fight a lot when we were younger, but I think she's mellowed out a bit in her old age- just messin' with ya Lib!!! Libby is a hot shot banker, and Nathan is "The Man" at the title company.  Although this is just a disguise for his true profession as an actor in many local commercials.  He also flexes the pipes as a member of the Twin Mountain Tonesmen and the infamous barbershop quartet, Jubilee.

This is my brother Richard.  He is 20 years old.  Although he is the baby of the family, he stands the tallest at around 6'4".  We are pretty tight, although we don't see each other much during school.  He is currently a junior at Texas Tech.  He is a great Christian and is very active in the Campus Crusades.  He plays a mean guitar, and he's pretty good on the piano and other various instruments.  Hey dude, I need my djembe back!  Richard has been a big influence in my life, especially the past two years, and I am so grateful for this.  I am amazed by his spirit and his ability to "hold back" when it comes to the ladies and relationships.  If I could do things all over again, I would do it just like Richard has.  Rock on Bro! <><

Marti is my sister from my Dad's first marriage.  She and her husband Greg are wonderful people.  They have one son named Austin. He is six years old.  Even though Libby, Richard, and I have been separated from Marti by age and distance, we all feel very close to her and love her very much.  She is always there with a thoughtful card at every birthday and holiday, and she is truly a wonderful person.  Marti and Greg have recently moved (back) to Austin, TX where Greg is the Preacher a local Episcopal Church.
