Today has been an interesting day for me. At first I thought it was going to be bad… but it ended up not being too bad. Keeping busy helps. (Keeps my mind off of things) 

Sadly they leave tomorrow, and I will miss them. 

My oldest brother and his family are down from Minnesota this weekend! Last night we played games until 3:30 a.m. Right now he and my other brother are playing games. It is nice to see my Brother, sister in law, two nephews, and my niece!  

My sister!

She may be younger than me by 2 1/2 years, but sometimes she seems older then me. She is so good to me, and is unlike any other younger sister I know. She never pries, and she is always there. I am the one who wants to match clothes, and I am the one who wants to play (most of the time). Sure we have our differences, but we have been through so much and know that Family is everything. Do we get in fights- oh yeah, but we made a promise not long ago that we would never let an argument get out of hand. We have kept that promise.

How we made that promise is we sat down after a big fight that we regretted having. She got out a key chain I had gotten her a long time ago. It says “Jesus loves you and so do I” We hung it up with a picture of the two of us, and we made the promise. Now when we want to fight we see that, and we think things through. 

It has now been 7 years since Mom died. I still remember the few days so clearly. It was such a shock to me. I never thought I would lose my Mom until we were both old-er. It happened all at once it didn’t stick until after the viewing, and I was standing above looking down at my Mom. It was a long ride home that night to get ready for the funeral the next morning. 

There are some people you will soon forget, but there are some people who you can’t forget. Mom loved and Trusted in the Lord and you couldn’t help but notice. Mom’s favorite verses in the Bible were Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” And Nahum 1:7, “The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”

Miss you Mom.

I am Nineteen years old.

I am the third out of four children. I am an Aunt of Two Nephews and one Beautiful Niece. I have two older brothers and a younger sister: Nathan, Stephen, and Rebekah. Nathan got married in 2009. He has the three children.

My Mom died when I was twelve and Dad has been taking care of us.

February is always hard since my Mom died. She died February 16th 2009. You never forget days like that.
