Numero 7: Impacted

Someone or something that has made the biggest impact on my life?

My family, of course.

But, not just my immediate family.

Although they are each special to me in their own way.

T.J. is my only brother, and as such he is the craziest, most destructive of us all.  But, he can also be the cutest, funniest and sweetest thing.  McKenna is my youngest sister.  She says the most hilarious things, without realizing it.  "What's an Amber Alert?  Is it like a thing? Like a crayon?!"

Then there is Becca and Jenessa.  They are basically twins (born two years apart).  They do most everything together, they look alike and they are hilarious together.

Becca is the one that will have me laughing for no good reason.  She is the one that I will go to at 2 in the morning to ask her to squish a spider for me.  She is also the one that brings out all my different laughs.  Jenessa is the one that will make random music videos with me.  She is the one that watches Toddlers and Tiaras with me.

Then there is my only older sister, Tatiana.

She would run down the hall and yell catch me then jump into my arms (after which we would both fall down laughing).  She would "exercise" with us (jumping jacks in front of the TV, running down the hall, up and down the stairs).  She taught me how to scare a bee.  Now she is married to my awesome brother in law, Andrew. 

 He is the one that pops my toes :). 

Then I have a foster sister and a german sister.  Jessie is one of my very best friends.  We tell each other everything (well, most things).  Meili is hilarious, and I miss her a lot.  But, I will never forget her.

My parents are pretty much wonderful, too.

I also love my extended family. 

 My cousins: the Harrison's (along with their spouses), the Brocco's, and the Wride's. 

My grandparents: Wride's and Brocco's.

P.S. My original plan for this post was to put a pic of my family and write: Family, 'Nuff said.
