My family is very important to me. I try to spend as much time with them as I can. I have two brothers: Craig, and Jake. I have a lot of cousins. The oldest are in their 30's down to the youngest, 1 year and 2 months. I only have one that's relatively close to my age and that's my cousin, Alexa, who's 12 years old. People mistake her to be as old as me or older. She doesn't look like her age.

My yougest cousin, Jeremiah, is going through a rough time now. He wasn't what you'd call the perfect, healthy, baby. He's had two or three sugeries, on a venilator, and has a feeding tube. Him and his parents are in Omaha, Nebraska, until he gets well enough to come home. We all miss him a bunch.

Even though our family has a bunch of mistakes, and crisises, we live through the tough times. We hope for the best, and try not to focus on the worst. No matter what happens, we stick together.

My cousin Alexa and I are really close. We think the same way, but it's kind of freaky when she finishes my sentences. The only time I really see her is on Sunday, in church, or maybe a weekend, maybe once every three months. She lives in Chanute, but has two sisters, Cheyenna and Elizabeth, so when she comes with me they throw a fit. That's why it's once every three or more months.

Parents! Every teenager as some conflict with them. I try not to make their lives even harder, by being an annoyance. When they had a bad day, I stay out of their way. We get along most of the time. Although, I wish I had more privilages. They treat me like an adult, saying clean this clean that, do this, do that, and at other times, I try to be mature, and they treat me like a little baby. I guess it's not really their fault. I am their only girl, but they have to learn to trust me some day. For all who I don't have pictures of, I'm sorry but I do love you.
