My Family

Yesterday I received some mail from my family and it was the sweetest things I have ever read. My momma and some of the kids sent me letters; it was so encouraging to read each of them and to see the pictures the kids drew. Each of them told me how much they missed and loved me. I just want to thank God for each of them and I am so blessed to have each of them in my life.

Daddy has always been my strong hand and comforter in time of need. He is always there no matter what the situation is. He is a very loving father who always say he loves me. The best part of growing up is knowing that my dad will always be by my side and that he will never leave me. He is not afraid to come up and give me the biggest hug; and I miss that more than anything.

Momma is the one I talk to about most things. She is always there to listen when I'm ready to talk. She has never left my side no matter how far away I go. I know I can depend on her to make sure I'm doing ok. Through God's work in her life she is becoming one of my biggest supporters.

Miranda is my oldest sister and more like a second mom for me; she is always the one I go to when I need someone. I love just talking with her and hanging out because she is one of the funniest people you will ever meet. I love just having her around.

Brigette is my middle sister and she brings life to the faimly. I miss stopping by her house and visiting with her and the kids. She is a great person to talk to and she brings a smile to my face.

Rusty is my only brother and my best friend. I miss him so much and wish he was here with me. Growing up there was no way you could get me away from him; I would follow him everywhere he went and I wanted to be just like him. He played a major role in my love for sports.

Lucy is my future sister in law and I think everyone should have to meet this small town girl; because she will bring a smile to your face. In the beginning I struggled to get her to talk but now we are becoming good friends. I enjoy her presence and I miss her also.

James and Jason are my two brother in laws and they add a whole new deminision to the family. I enjoy having them around and I miss them.

I really miss each of the kids. Jacob for the love he has for me and the bond we formed when he was just a baby. Jamie for her amazing love for sports and just for who she is in general. James for the activity and excitement he always has. Mamie for her sweet and pure heart. Danielle for the times we have together. She is the oldest and I can't wait to see her play soccer for WOHS. CJ, who is more like my brother, for the great times we always have when we are together. He is always ready to go play tennis with me (CJ we need to go when I get back!!). Denver for his kind words when he has not seen me in a while. And most importantly Brintlee for being the cutiest little thing you will ever see. He is such a joy to be around.

And last but for sure not least I miss Jersey; for you who do not know she is the most amazing dog. I miss the excitement she has to see me when I get home in the afternoon and the love she always gives. She is my perfect little angel.
