Family

Well, my family is great. there are 8 of us, so we keep busy and loud a lot. :) mom and Dad have been married for 25 years, and are pretty awesome. Dad is an ER doctor and teacher, and just retired from the navy after 25 years of service in August of 2013. Mom has homeschooled all of us, 3 of us have graduated  high school and have gone on to college, and three are still at home. The oldest of us is Sarah is a Regent University grad and an elementary education school teacher. She also nannies, and blogs and does hundreds of other things. Josh is at a university in Longview Texas, studying to be a mechanical engineer, because he is that brilliant. He is artistic, clever, hilarious and pretty much the best. Then comes me. I just started college, studying veterinary technology in a two year program in Weyers Cave VA. I am still in shock a little about actually being in college and actually in an apartment, and being 4 hours away from home. I have a heart for all things fuzzy. Helen is number 4. She is the one that literally has us rolling on the floor laughing every day. She is the bomb.com, and is incredibly smart (dual enrolling at the local community college when she is only 16). Meredith is after Helen. She is pretty great. She loves her kitty, and is counting down the days when she can get her ears pierced for her 12th birthday. James is the youngest, our little man, who is a mix of Helen, Josh and Dad. Goodness, he is too much. He adds serious spice to life. You can find him reading Calvin and Hobbes or building epic lego forts or folding paper airplanes in his messy bedroom.  So that's us! Basically any family sized package in the grocery store is not even close enough to feed us :)
