Missing My Roots

Sometimes it REALLY stinks to live far away from your family.  This is just a part of my life.  I have not lived near home since I was 18.  My entire family will be together without me this week:(  I'm bummed.  They are just great people.  
 
 This photo was taken at my surprise birthday that Tyler and Marlee threw for me in 2011.  This is one of my favorite memories.  Looking at these pictures make me smile.  I have this one framed in my kitchen. 
 Even though it looks like I didn't get the memo about the brown shirt in this photo (I said, blue, brown, AND red guys!) this is the most recent pic of me and my family with just the original 6. 
                                   This photo is AMAZING!  I'm by far the shortest one.  (It should be said that I am pregnant in this photo, not just fat).  
                                                             Me and my favorite sisters in 2008
    This is another one of my favorite memories.  Battle Creek Falls with Tyler and Marlee.  As Audrey said, "I feel like I am never going to see TyTy and Marlee again!" Sometimes it really feels that way!  This was in 2010.


I REALLY miss you guys!!  I hope you have a great week!  Chelsea and Britt, give Tyler a hard time for me!  Ty, stay up until 3am talking to Dad in my place.  Britt, go to Cafe Rio with Mom for me and get a Pork Barbecoa salad!  Chelsea and Britt, go on a candy run and eat some peanut butter M&M's in my name.  Go to La Jolla Groves and take a trip to Sundance together in my honor.  Love you all!
