A L L A B O U T M E : C H A P T E R 2

My family consists of four people, my mom and dad, my sister, and myself. However, we have three friends who

we call family as well. They call my parents “ Mom” and “Dad,” as I do theirs. They are Daisy Lemke, Dakota Honeycutt, and Katie Cassady.

Its not just those three that we consider family. Their families are like out family too. My family spends almost

every Saturday night with Dakota and Daisy’s family at the Honeycutt’s garage. Tons of delicious food is cooked that restaurants just can’t compete

with. Other people from the

neighborhood also join us. We eat, sit around and talk, and play pool or corn hole They all feel like family we’ve been

doing this for so long.

There is my Family, then my “Family”

MY FAMILY

MOM

MY MOM, SUSAN, IS MOST DEFINITELY MY ROLE MODEL. SHE IS ALWAYS UNDERSTANDING AND THERE FOR ME WHEN I NEED HER. I HOPE TO BE AS GOOD AS A MOM AS SHE IS WHEN I AM OLDER. SHE KEEPS MY SISTER AND I IN LINE WITHOUT BEING OVER BEARING. SHE AND MY DAD HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB RAISING US. :]

DAD

ALL THOUGH MY MOM MAY MAKE MOST DECISIONS IN MY FAMILY, MY DAD, DAVID, HAS THE FINALLY SAY. HE PROVIDES FOR THE FAMILY, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY MEANS IS GONE EVERY WEEK FOR WORK. HOWEVER, I LOVE TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM OUT ON THE LAKE OR SKIING WHEN IS HOME ON THE WEEKENDS. <3

MAGGIE

MY SISTER IS MY BEST FRIEND. SHE IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO TRULY UNDERSTANDS ME. OVER HALF OF THE THINGS WE SAY TO EACH OTHER IS QUOTING A MOVIE OR SHOW, & NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO PICK UP ON IT (WHICH JUST MAKES US LAUGH). WE NEVER REALLY FIGHT, EVEN WHEN WERE LITTLE. ITS PROBABLY BECAUSE SHE JUST GIVES IN. :P

PHOTOS FROM FAMILY TRIPS

MY REAL FAMILY GOES ON ANNUAL TRIPS INCLUDING SEAGROVE BEACH, FL AND SNOWSHOE, WV. MY MOM’S SIDE OF THE FAMILY GETS TOGETHER FOR THE BEACH TRIP, WHICH WE DO EVERY SUMMER. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN GOING SINCE 1986. MY DAD’S SIDE TRIES TO GET TOGETHER FOR THE SNOWSHOE ONE. SINCE NOT EVERYONE CAN ALWAYS GO, WE ALSO TRY TO GO TO MICHIGAN ONCE A YEAR TO SEE THEM.
