My Family

Lately I've been thinking a LOT about my brothers and sister, and how much a love them. When I was growing up I was fortunate enough to be raised in a tight knit family and we've always been that way.. We love and support each other through everything. I was talking with a friend the other day and they had TONS of family drama going on, and it got me thinking how grateful I am that I know that from time to time my family might not do things how I would do them and visa versa, there is never a ILL word made to me about it. We always go with the flow and love each other and are there for each other when we fall. I'm grateful for my sister who is always there for me when I'm having a bad day... without fail, I talk to her by NOON every day. Even if its just for a short minute... with her crazy life of, dance 4 times a week for 5 hours a day, and soccer, and gymnastics, and tumbeling, and YM/YW, and activity days... and being a relief society president... she's there to talk for a minute. My brother Scott who I miss more and more with every day that goes by.. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. He is so kind, and always knows what to say, and seems to make a phone call to me at the right moment. He is awesome, and LOVES my kids and my siblings kids more than anything, and you can tell he cares when him and Larissa are asking about them.. they are the most GENUINE people EVER! Steven, who is the hardest working person I know! He is such a rock solid person and I look up to him in so many ways. He is such a kind and loving father, and UNCLE and will jump down the stairs to save a kid from falling down them... even if its ALL THE WAY DOWN the stairs... You are awesome. Ryan who is probably one of the MOST patient people I know.. He is always willing and ready to help and you can tell that he has a lot of fun with his kids and LOVES the silly things that they do. Ryan is so kind and loving to all the neices and nephews and he ALWAYS makes time to hear their stories and gives them the undivided attention that they want from him. And can find the POSITIVE in anything. Its always nice to surround yourself with people like him. Greg, I dont know where to begin.... We've always fought over stupid things, and still do sometimes.... We like to keep things interesting, but I know he loves me... right greg?!?! I love him and I know he has a special place in his heart for my little girls. He loves all of the kids so much, and they talk about him all the time, and he's so hard working and determined to be the best at what he does with ANYTHING that he does... I'm so grateful for my siblings and for their constant love and support that they give me all the time.. I sometimes wish we could go back to the BC Hardware days and when we'd all end up and MOM & DADS house for lunch just about every day. And nights when we'd play settlers of catan or NERTS til 4 in the morning. I miss those days but knew they weren't always going to be there. I'm glad that we love each other no matter what and KNOW when things need to be said... and when things need to be LET GO. I LOVE YOU GUYS. THANKS for all you do, and I miss you and I miss seeing you... I couldn't ask for a better relationship with any of you or your spouces.. we're all so close and love each other.. XOXO
