To My Family

This is a tribute to my family!

A few months ago Hilpy called me to tell me she had actually got us tickets to the sold out Kenny Chesney concert (annual tradition) she was so excited! I was hesitant to tell her that I was going to move to Alaska. It was only a few hours later and the whole family was mad at me...I am not sure if it was because they had spent the time and money to get me a Kenny Chesney ticket or because I was leaving. All of them have their concerns but they are all jealous! In all honesty our family is very close, we may not be hanging out every night with each other but we are all friends and we love each other. My best friends are my siblings. I love talking to them and getting their advice. We have so much fun and laugh a lot when we are together, as you can see in our pictures.

The hardest part of me moving to Alaska is being away from my family. I know everyone is worried about me chasing some boy with out an "eternal commitment" to a "foriegn land" but I really appreciate everyone's concerns and even though they are not completely sold on the idea they are all incredibly supportive. Annette and Heather have already applied for a passport in preparation to come drive home with me "when this all goes in the hole"...that is very comforting! I hope though, they won't have to use it.

I love you guys!!!
