Grannie & Pap: My moms' parents. They are having some health problems right now, And weren't able to come for graduation. They live out of state, about a day & half's drive, depending on what route we take &how often you stop for a break. I hope they get better soon!
Aunt Sharron & Uncle Bob: They also live out of state, about the same time away. (They are actaully my great-uncle & great-aunt.) They came to see me a few summers ago after their daughter, Shell, got married. It was really good to see them, & I hope to see them again soon.
"Shell Bell" & family: Shell has a daughter, & she got married on the same day that as dad & step-mom. I wish I could have been at her wedding to see how lovely she looked in person.
Uncle "Smokey"& family: Uncle "smokey" is mom's only brother, Donald. He has one son, Tyler, & is married to my aunt Mary. Tyler is a little devil!
"Chucky" & family: My brother is not married, but has a beautiful daughter named Megan. I think she is going to be 5/6 this year. Maybe older. Any way, my brother quit doing drugs, & is supporting himself pretty well. I am very proud of him.
Becky & family: My sister is divorced & has three kids, all of which are with their dad & his mom. My sister is doing better in her life & I am proud of her for at least trying.
Grandpa: My Grandpa was the most important person in my life, unfortunatly he passed away about 2 1/2 years ago. He used to own a frame shop here in town, but retired a few years befor his death. After retirement he made clocks, pens, hope chests, & all kinds of really neat stuff in his garage. I miss him terribly, but still think of him when I need to make an important decision.
Grandma: She still lives down the street from us, & we expect that she will move in with us within a few years. She is really sweet, but I worry that she doesn't have enough friends to talk to.
Uncle Frank & family: Uncle Frank is in the Army Nat'l Gaurd. His new wife, Cris, has a lot of medical problems right now. But is fighting for disability. Her daughter wants to have a baby really badly, but we all know she can & should wait.
Aunt Nova: My Grandpa's sister. She is a bit crazy. We are hoping to convince her to move in with family soon so that she won't go bankrupt or over eat. We have to trick her into going to see the doctor & into taking her med. b/c she doesn't think they know what they are doing. Which, in this town, wouldn't suprise me if 90% of them didn't have a clue.
Kay: She passed away the same day my Grandpa did. She was a really wonderfull person & I miss getting to see her.
Wayne: My step-dad's step-dad. He used to be really good to see, but after he got re-married he got used to having money from his new wife & no longer treats anyone as his equal. So I don't go see him anymore.
Aunt Sue & Uncle Rich: They moved here to be closer to Kay. But since she is gone & Wayne is being difficult they are moving back to be with their grandkids, & kids.
Laney & Cody: Elaine is my step-mom's sister. Cody is her son. Laney lives here in town, but Cody lives in the southern part of the state with his dad.
Nikki & family 2B: Nikki is the younger of my two step-sisters. She is getting married the day before Prom, so I'm going to choke her lol. She is going to college for radiology. And they are probably moving out of state by the end of this year so that she can go to a better college &so that he can get a weldig job & make more money.
Carla & family: Carla is the older of the two. She is married and has a 1 yr. old son. She is going to college for vetrenary assistant training. Later on she may move out of state to go to a better colege too.
