Only Mine....

So, I am the oldest kid at home now! I don't really mind it...of course I miss my oldest brothers but change like this is sometimes good. For the past few years I always knew this time would come when God would take us on different paths and I am very thankful for my brothers who are go-getters and will tackle anything the Lord gives them. David and Matt have played a BIG role in my life....they were who "trained" me and made me into their little tough sister who played cowboys with them, who didn't mind getting dirty, and the little girl that when she played dress up with them she dressed up in army gear. They taught me how to: hook a worm at a young age, shoot a gun, clean dead animals for eating, ride a horse (how to fall off a horse), run through the woods barefoot, have a "dirt-bomb" fight, and I still remember when they "taught" (a.k.a) made me ride a bike without training wheels. So you see, they have always been there for me...I was practically raised by them. I am ever so thankful that God gave me older brothers....they are the best! But this post isn't just about them...its about my family. My crazy, wonderful, something slightly neurotic family!

The day before David left he gave me a bottle of pepper spray and told me if I ever had to use it...to use all at once on the same guy. :) Its not much of a replacement for my big brother protector but its better then nothing.

One for all and all for one!

Yeah, umm only my family....


Don't ask what we were doing here....(cuz im not sure)
Ahh, yes we look normal there...

Here? Yeah, not so much...


Other things may change us, but we start and end with family
.
In time of test, family is best.

We may not have it all together....but together we have it all!
