Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day! I know it's two days after Valentines day, but at least I'm making an effort, right?

Well the real reason that I haven't written is probably because my family is gone. They went on vacation and I really miss them. I've been living at my aunt's house which has been awesome. My aunt's really cool and she pretty much just wants me to check in every now and again. It's great that I have such an awesome extended family. I do really miss sleeping at my own house though.

Through all of this, I've been thinking a lot about college. Being away from my family has been hard for me and it has only been a few days! I don't know what I'll do if I go away to college. I'll miss my family so much.

I really didn't appreciate all that my family does to keep my house clean and functional. I've had to get the cat, get the mail, shovel, and keep things clean while my family has been gone and it takes a lot of time. I don't realize how much my family does for me.

Anyways, the point of this post is to let you know that I care a lot about my family. My mom is my best friend. She's one of the only people that I can tell everything to and I know that she actually cares. Her love for me is unconditional and it's amazing. No matter what I do, she still loves me. I don't tell her enough how much I appreciate all that she does for me, but I really do. I can tell her anything and everything and she'll listen to me. One of the things that I love most about my mom is that she listens.

My sister is awesome. We get along really well most of the time. She likes to wrestle lol which is fun sometimes... :) She's cute and she's really strong spiritually and physically which is such a great example to me. I know it's weird that I look up to my younger sister, but I do. She really loves the gospel and she's so happy all the time. People love being around my sister because she's happy and she knows who she is. I wish that I could be more like that. She's beautiful inside and out and I love her for who she is. We talk about everything and I love that we get along so well. I feel bad for people who don't get along with their siblings because I know how awesome it can be to feel like your sister is one of your best friends.

My dad is great. He's always been a great provider for our family and I love that he holds and honors his priesthood. He's a really great person and he has overcome so many struggles in his life. I think that is what I love about my dad. I love that he is stronger because of the challenges he has faced. There have been so many times when my dad could have given up, but he never did. No matter what obstacle he faces, he overcomes it. He does what he can to move on with his life.

My family is great and I really love them. Moving to college will be hard, but I know that my family will support me and love me no matter what I do or where I go. My family will always be here for me to talk and laugh with. So hooray for awesome families that are trying their best to do good things and hooray for Valentines day week. Everything is going great :) Have an awesome week!
