My Family:
As scarry as it is for a twenty six year old to say I really do love my family.  Very odd these days, but it's very true.  I guess it all started back on April 4, 1970 when my parents were married, since then they have even renewed thier vows on April 4, 1995.  They are a strange couple but they are my parents and I love them.  I have two siblings, I have an older brother, he's 30 and makes me feel young.  He's a firefighting paramedic and really enjoys his work, just don't let him talk you into helping learn more about needles!  OUCH!  He's married to my sister-in-law who is a riot to be around.  We have a great relationship, we love to hate eachother, and yet we hate to love eachother!  It's a lot of fun!!  I don't know what we did with out her!  My younger sister is living in Central Ohio.  She's working a private university processing financial aid.  She loves the work, hates the pay.  Oddly enough we spent so many years hating eachother only to find out that she's become a close friend!  I don't know what I would do without her.  I never thought I would say that, but it's happened!  My parents have always taken care of us, we didn't have much but they never made it feel like it.  My dad works really hard in a factory and my mom deals with alot of stress as our church secretary.  People may not think it's a lot of stress, but trust me, I've heard it all, she has stress and I dare anyone to tell me otherwise.  I'm trying to find the picture of my other grandparents to post on here, but it seems to be hiding.  I've lost both of my grandfathers in the last five years, and it's been very hard to deal with, but as a family we support eachother.  I also lost a grandmother a couple of years ago, it wasn't easy loosing both of my grandparents, but they are in a better place.  I still have one grandmother left whom I love very much.  She's a lot of fun and cares for all of us greatly.  My aunts and uncles are all so much fun, we have a great time when we get together.  We are a very tight knit family which others don't comprehend, but we love it!  I'll post as many pictures as I can upload!!
