The one thing that keeps me going is knowing that summer gets closer every single day. This summer is gonna be the best of all Summers! I'm really excited.
My sister and I have been hanging more. She and I used to be really close, then for like a year... We just bugged each other. But we went shopping together the other day and it was so much fun! We also went and saw Safe Haven with my mom and loved it. We are total suckers for any Nicholas Sparks movie or book.
Lately we started running together. It's so fun! We laugh our heads off and create funny inside jokes while jogging. People look at us weird... But we don't care! Sometimes I think I should have my own TV show. We are THAT hilarious ;)
I think it has gotten to that point in my life where my sister and mom are more like my best friends. I love doing things with them and spending time with them, other than just family night! I really like the relationship I have with my mom. She gives me a lot of freedom... Sometimes I wonder about her judgment ;) Hahaha, just kidding! She's doing great.
She lets me make my own decisions and doesn't run my life for me. But, if she needs to step in, she does. She gives me advice and makes me laugh when I'm having a bad day. She listens to me and gives input or sometimes lets me figure it out for myself. Most of the time I know the difference between right and wrong, so my mom and I just get to have fun together instead of her having to hover over every little thing that I do and help me do it.
Maybe its just because I'm a teenager... But I honestly hate it when people tell me how to live or whats right or wrong. I know the difference between the two! It's kinda like the talk from Uchtdorf (One of my favorites. Holland is amazing too!) "Don't judge me because I sin differently than you. And if you do... stop it." It's that simple! Just worry about you and stop telling your friends how they need to live their life. It doesn't happen often to me, but when it does I want to punch them in the face. Ok, that's a little dramatic!! I don't want to do that, plus I don't think I could even if I tried... But I just want to live my life the way I want to and figure things out for myself. I want to learn from my mistakes!
I'm pretty much getting off subject here... back to my mom and sister..
Well, here are some pictures of us having all sorts of fun together. I'm so glad to have them as my best friends and relatives!
Brittany "planking" at mcdonalds
She is pretty much so adorable.
I love her!
She leaned up against the car window
Ladies and gentlemen... She's my hero!!
Us three... Family pictures
2012
I love my family... SO MUCH!
I love my mom
Sisters
People tell me that my mom and I look alike....
I guess we kinda do.
If we do, I'm so happy cause basically, My mom is beautiful!
Right before we went and saw "Safe Haven"
I took this beauty to Walmart and we did a little bit of spring shopping!
Then we went to the traverse Mountain outlets and got a couple dresses.
It was so much fun!
After the movie, we loved it!
Sisters make ugly faces... together.
Brittany had her friend, Payton, sleep over. I consider her my little sister as well! I took them around the city and we had so much fun!
Don't worry, I didn't crash the car ;)
Just playing in the Mcdonalds Playland.
I love these girls so much!!
I don't mean to brag, but I love my amazing family! Sometimes, we fight.. But that's normal, right? I can't help to think about the future and realize that in about 5 years, I'll probably be engaged and My mom and sister will be helping my plan my wedding. Britt will be one of my bridesmaids and my mom will have the title "Mother of the bride." Maybe they both will be even more excited than I will be!
I just know that when we go shopping for the bridesmaid dresses or shoes or even the cake... We are constantly going to be making fun of all those bridal shows. We already do! I mean when we go shopping my mom is always like "Are you gonna say yes to jeans?" We will pretend to be those dysfunctional families that have problems that come out during the wedding planning and I'm gonna pretend to me a total "Bride-zilla" just to get the full wedding experience. It's gonna be hilarious!
My future children are gonna have the best Aunt in the whole world. She's so talented. I might have to have her come over every night and sing to my children, because I can't even stay on the same key. They are also gonna have the funniest most adorable grandma ever. She's gonna tell them about all the stupid stuff I did and they are gonna laugh their heads off. I have done a lot of stupid things, so basically... they are gonna have hundreds of stories to hear. How blessed am I!?
Ya know how they say that family is the friends you didn't/can't choose? Ya, well... If I could choose, I would choose them. They are amazing! I still love them, even when we fight over TOMS shoes. Did that happen today? Maybe... But never-the-less, I am so thankful to have the family that I do.
Love your families and be thankful for what you have!
Love you
Peace out
-Tay
