Family....

Okay, so I stink at blogging (I think every single post starts that way for me....). I've been thinking a lot about family lately. I think about the family that I have and the strength every single one of them is for me. I have a friend who asks me all the time "who are you closest to in your family" and I honestly don't know. I'm sure I'm bias (whatever) but I really do have the best family in the world. It's cool too because we are all so stinkin diffirent (which I attribute to my amazing parents who somehow raised 6 fully functioning children, all of which are happy, strong and capable and of which are all still friends...a serious achievement). The other night Dallin Kyle and I were talking with my parents about the ironic trends in our family...like there are 2 kids with D names 2 with A and 2 with K. While we're all different its funny how the "letter kids" are similar. Por ejemplo: the A's - both are more education driven, have darker eyes and are into politics. The D's - both are very moved by the arts, dance & music speifically and have the hazelly lighter eyes. The K's - Both are tall, into sports, are loud and have blue eyes.... Wierd how those things work out.....I genuinley love them each for different reasons though. 1. Alicia - for her ability to see things clearly and be so logical and still remain the biggest goof balls of all time! 2. Angie - for her quick whit and ability to plan and find a solution for ANYTHING, and her true loyalty to others and a big goof ball! 3. Dara - for her gentle yet strong approach to life, her ability to love and empathise with anyone regardless of situation or circumstance and can't forget goofy! 4. Dallin - for being so perceptive, for his desire to do good and ability to work hard and rock out as he's does it a big goof ball! 5. Kyle - for his drive in life, no matter what it is he goes full speed, he always looks out for others and he is also a major...MAJOR goof ball! Things get crazy when all 6 of us get together, we've had small and major fights but it always works out somehow in the end. I don't mean to be so sappy but for reals-it's true that the family is the basis of society and I'm learning more and more that I seriously got a good one!!!!
