The greatest thing in life to me is my family. I only have one brother, but we have so many memories together growing up and being best friends. I am 2 years older of course so when we got into trouble it was always my fault because I am the oldest and I know better =) and Curtis would just laugh and say "Yeah don't you know better!" But I wouldn't trade him for the world!
My Mom has 3 sisters and a brother and I have 11 cousins on her side of the family. Her youngest sister (Tara) has 4 children: Jackson (7), Abbigail (5), Caleb (2) and Adam (8 mon.). Then there is Patti and she has 2 children: Collin (8, he is adopted fromRussia) and Kara (6), her husband was tragically killed in a car accident leaving her a single mom. The kids are more like nieces and nephew to me and mean the world to me!?! I miss them so much while I'm at college. My Mom's only brother has 2 girls that are the exact age of my brother and I. Ashley is 3 months older than Curtis and Heather is 3 days older than I am. This always makes for an exciting time when we all get together!
My Dad has 3 brothers and a sister. His oldest brother (Dave) has 5 kids, and the youngest one (Sonya) is at college with me in the room right next to me. His only sister(Ruth) has 3 sons and 2 of them are with me at college and they are always fun to be around. His youngest brother(Mark) has 2 kids at Bob Jones. I do not get to spend as much time with the Bixler side but we have a great time when we do get together! =)
My Mom and Dad are the greatest encouragement to me that I could ever ask for! My Dad calls me every morning to tell me he loves me and that he is praying for me as I go through the day. I can't explain the feeling of knowing that my parents are behind me in everything I do and that they love me no matter what and pray for me everyday! I love them with all my heart!
