"Family"

In church this morning the sermon was about honoring your parents, so I decided to dedicate this post to introducing my family.  

I owe my amazing parents everything.  They have shaped me and formed me into the woman I am today.  Without them I probably would be living in a dump right now (okay maybe a little over dramatic).  They have loved and encouraged me to follow God's will for my life and always supported my dreams.  Not to mention the countless hours they have spent at sporting/school events and the numerous amounts of money they have invested in me to get me where I am.  Dad is the goofiest, motorcycle riding, embarrassing and loving man I've ever known.  My mom is the most selfless woman I know and my best friend. I am truly blessed to have them as my parents and am so thankful that they have raised me in a loving home, even if it does get crazy at times.

Those amazing parents produced 3 pretty "okay" kids.  The left is my younger brother Todd.  16 years old and the funniest kid I've ever met (not to mention the most ridiculous).  Leave it to Todd to keep us laughing and shaking our heads in disbelief at the same time.  The right is my older brother Ryan.  24 years old and the front man of a band "Don't Give Up The Ship" <you should check them out :)  Lastly, there is me in the middle.  The middle child and only girl at 20 years old.  I would like to think I am the sanity to the other two but I'm sure they would disagree.  All together we make up the most ridiculous, goofy and loving family there ever was.  I've heard it said you can't choose your family but I'm pretty sure they would be my first choice.
