for this I am grateful.

As many of you know, it recently has been brought to my attention that I don't show enough gratitude towards my parents, and siblings. This should hopefully enlighten some of you, and those of you who really know me...should be laughing.

Gratitude for my Dad... He gave me my sense of style, or lack there of.
He taught me that if I don't like a situation, I can get out.
He taught me it is okay to like boys. ;)
For this, I am grateful.

Gratitude for my Mom...
She instilled a passion for eating, and dining out.
She taught me what gossip is all about.

For this, I am grateful.

Gratitude for my eldest brother, Jeff... Sometimes it's okay to value your friends, more than family.
For this, I am grateful.

Gratitude for my only sista, Emilie... She taught me modesty is over rated.
She taught me going against the grain is so in...and so is getting a lime green CTR tattoo.
For this, I am grateful. Gratitude for my other brother, Kyle...
He doesn't act his age, and it keeps everyone young at heart.
For this, I am grateful.

Oh, Evonne those are some interesting photos! ;) All I can say is that I think you are a sweetheart. I love you and I love your family. There will always be people judging us no matter what we do, and all we can do is do the best we can. I'm glad you are having a happy life and I enjoy checking out your blog!
