About your family

I love my family and am so blessed to have such real people in my life! They have helped sculpt me into what I am today.  They have sacrificed for me and have always loved and encouraged and even put a boot in the behind from time to time as well!! My mom and dad, Laura and Jay Huffington, have been married for 36 years...against overwhelming odds, but through Christ, He has made them even closer today!! My mom is a hero to me.  She has a passion for the Lord like no other. On the outside she is a cute little woman, but the spirt on the inside is a Warrior for Christ. She can put the fear of God into you! LOL...Love you, ma!

My Dad has become such a man with a heart for God and others. I am so proud of the man that God has built in my Dad! it's just pure joy to watch him work with men at our local church and watch lives be changed by the willing heart of a man who said yes to God some 15years ago.

My sister is an amazing woman. She has a huge heart and always has room around her small dining table for those who don't have a place to go! She is an amazing graphic designer and is working hard to make her mark in her field. She is married to a great man, my Brother Jesse. They are two peas in a pod and still just as crazy over each other as in the beginning. They have been married for almost 2 years. Very proud of them!
