because they are all really great. first off, happy birthday to my mom! bummer she was probably slaving away cooking a thanksgiving meal on her bday so i hope she had a lot of help. i miss her bad.
my oldest sister sarah (see 5th picture down...she's holding her baby) is really smart.she is the one i would always call in college for help on my papers. she earned me most of my A's, and then i earned myself b's and c's and d's. she has the most beautiful eyes and has past them down to her cute kids. she is an artist and a dang good one. She makes really healthy food tastes really good somehow. she has a really cool husband that can do anything that may seem physically impossible to most. like run up a mountain.
my sister ann, (see picture below) is one of the funnest people to be around. i was lucky enough to live with her and her husband brian in oregon when i was a senior in high school. ann is one of those people who allows you to be yourself and feel comfortable around because she is so easy going. she is nice to everyone and is always serving. she's a really hot mom and has a cute family and a ridiculously beautiful home that she decorated. her husband built it and can build anything with perfection. my brother charley, (see picture above and in another one) is the kind of person that you can always learn from. he always has a lot of good things to say that you might have thought of before but could never articulate them like he does. he is comfortable being himself and he is so smart and determined and sooo funny. no one can compete with his one-liners. or nicknames. or imitations. or anything that has to do with being really funny. his wife kitten(see picture above and in another one) ok fine her name isn't kitten, it's kat. anyway kat is like an olympic champion only not in the olympics. but she easily could be. she is so athletic, so pretty and fashionable, so real, so confident, so nice, and i really look up to her.
my brother scotty (see picture above and below) passed away in a car accident eight years ago. he was one of my best friends and could make anyone around him smile and laugh. he was definitely one of a kind. he had so many good qualities that are hard to come by. like everyone else in my family, he was was absolutely hilarious and had no problem being himself. i miss him tons and still think about him everyday.
audge is really cool and you have already learned a lot about her in a post a little while ago. but some added info about her: she is on the byu womens rugby team. cool huh? when she started playing rugby i wasn't surprised because ya she is pretty and small but the last person you would want to get physical with because she could take anyone out. she is tough. i just wish i lived by her still.

then there is me...that fat baby above.

my mom is my best friend.(see pics 3,4,6) there is nothing my mom isn't good at. she teaches seminary and i was lucky because she was my seminary teacher for two years. she is just so smart and realistic and SO generous and talented. i am always learning from her. she is a great example to me. she always talks about how when she dies she wants to be known as being funny. like i've already promised her i will talk about how funny she was at her funeral. and i will because i won't be lying. the lady can make me die of laughter.
my pops (see 3rd and 4th pictures) is one of the greatest examples of hard work that i have every known. there has always been a strong emphasis in our family on working hard and being responsible and he definitely always set the example. my dad is very wise and i always love it when i get to see him. he is such a man and not a little ninny baby like some men can be. he doesn't expect to be waited on and i love that about him.
wow. never wrote so much in my life...and the thing is, i just barely scratched the surface with how great my family is. i have been missing them this thanksgiving and will on Christmas too.
i am grateful for them, and for john who is the coolest, nicest, funnest, smartest, most unique and talented person i know. i love living here in Virginia because i live here with him.
never knew i could be so sentimental did you? me either it's shocking.
