30 Days of Me: Day 3 & 4

 Day 03 -A post about my family.

Okay, so I have a crazy family. It's me, my mom and dad, my little brothers Aiden and Owen, and our Bichon Frise Samwise Gamgee.

Then, I have my Grandma and Grandpa (my mom's parents). They have my Aunt E and Aunt D. They each have three kids.

On my dad's side, there is Aunt Deb, Aunt L, Uncle M, and Uncle D.

Aunt Deb and Aunt L each have two kids, while Uncle M and Uncle D have three each.

That makes one big, crazy family!!! The awesome thing about my family is that both sides are really close. My cousins from Mom's side know the ones from Dad's side really well. Mom-mom and Pop even bought a house on the same street as Grandma and Grandpa! (I don't think they did that on purpose---it just kind of happened that way).

I love my family so much. The best times on my Mom's side happen when we all get together for a Steelers football game. There's a ton of talking, laughing, storytelling, and plenty of cheering (only when we score, though).

For Dad's side of the family, we get together mostly for birthdays. No matter whose special day it is, the hilarious stories about my dad and uncles come out. They crack each other up, teasing and picking on each other like they were kids. :)

And there is a brief account of my wonderful family. Maybe sometime I'll have my parents come on and do a guest post about their siblings and parents. Wouldn't that be fun???

Day 04 -A post about my friends----probably describing some good ones or something.

I have so many dear friends, from many different times and places in my life. It's hard to imagine my life without them! Most of them have been through hard times with me, and they have always been there to make me smile, laugh, or cry (in a good way!)

My oldest (and dearest) friend is Emily. Our families have been going to church together since we were babies, and we have so many good memories together. Our friendship has become stronger in the past few years, now that we're older and we like to email/message each other on Neopets. Emily is the reason I got hooked on Warriors (those were the days) and Neopets. We survived middle school together, and now we're starting the long journey through high school. She can always make me laugh, and we love sharing memories from the 'old' days.
You rock, Emily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My newest good friends are Brittany and Katelyn (read more about them in this post). We only spent about six days together, but I feel so close to them. We got through the jitters of meeting roommates, the long walks to and from the cafeteria, the long (but very interesting) lectures, and the scary process of evangelizing to complete strangers...................together. They are both very special to me,and I can't wait to see them again soon!!!

My soccer team is the best group of girls ever. We've been through losses, wins, tournaments, bad teammates, crazy weather, birthdays, sorrow, middle school, and everything in between. They are all great people in their own special way ;), and I wouldn't want to play soccer with any other girls. You guys are awesome!!!

Well, I'm caught up now. ttyl!!!
