Her father who she feels very close to and who started his own successful business. Her older brother Tommy who was there for her growing up despite their age difference. Her pet Muffin who was like a best friend and taught her responsibility and love. And her close childhood friend Casey who balanced her introverted nature and has remained a close friend into college.
2. Mom!
My mom has always been
there for me. She took me to
every soccer practice, game,
gymnastics. She took me to
church every Sunday. We are
so similar it’s scary. That is
probably why we get in so
many arguments. I get my
stubbornness from her. I also
get my love of the beach!
3. Dad ;)
I know what your thinking by
now…are those her real
parents?! Yes, they are. I am
blonde, green eyed and pale.
My parents are tan, brown
haired and brown eyed. I love
my dad. I am a complete
daddy’s girl. He means the
world to me. He is so smart. My
dad is a world class fisherman.
No really! He is a certified
captain! He started his own
corporation and has
successfully run it for over 15
years. He’s my world.
4. Tommy
(He’s the big one in the picture.
The little one is his son, also
name Tommy!) Tommy was my
only sibling growing up. He was
always there when I needed
him. We may not have grown
up as best friends, six years
apart will do that to you, but
you can never take away the
connection of a brother and
sister.
5. Muffin
You are laughing. I know you
are. In all honesty my pet was
the closest thing I had to a best
friend. Unconditionally loving,
she was there every time I
needed someone to talk to and
she was the best listener. You
might be asking what I learned
from her? Responsibility,
unconditional love, loyalty and
so much more. Muffin will
always be considered one of my
childhood family members.
6. Friends
I wasn’t the type of girl that had
many “girl friends”. That’s why
when I came across one I held
on tight. Casey was and is one
of my closest friends. She is my
extrovert balance to my
introverted self. Spending long
summer days at the lake house,
going to band camp together,
spending the weekends
hanging out and eventually
living together in college. She is
the closest thing I’ll have to a
sister
