Family - {personal}

{ I don't normally do many personal posts, but I really wanted to share this one. }

The love of a family is life's greatest blessing. 

My family is some of my favorite people to be with in the world. No matter the age or relation to me, I always enjoy spending time with my siblings,cousins, aunts, uncle's, grandparents, and "greats" too.

Your family are the people who know your quirks and oddities and accept you all the more for it. Well, and a few laughs about it come too. :) You can laugh together, cry together, and hug just because. There are personal jokes and games that people outside your family would think completely odd. 

Your family are the people who are always there for you. They can tell when your sad, excited about something, or in a downright bad mood. 

Above anything else - your family are the people who will love you no matter what. 

I love my family so much, imperfections and all.

Here are some photos featuring some of the people I love....

Addi {my cousin} and Me

Don't ask me, I don't know what was so funny! lol

My beautiful sister Leah. She is fun and thought to be the "quiet" one but she is not to people who know her. She is an excellent artist; she can draw very well. She's the Converse wearing girl in the family. :)  

Madeline - my sister who loves music. She plays piano and guitar, loves flowers, poetry, baking and vintage things. 

Addi, my cousin, always seems to have a giant smile on her face. She loves bright colors, Converse shoes, laughing and wearing mismatched socks. :)

Gorgeous smile Addi! 

Monica, my cousin is actually pretty funny. We have so many personal jokes that we drive the family crazy with. She can tend to be a matchmaker so watch out to anyone who knows her. (lol) 

Caught ya being soft and serious, Monica. Well, I still see a hint of a smile!

My sister Madeline got this shot of me. Well, you all know who I am! I like this one though because it actually shows my happy, fun side. I'm so serious in most pictures that I really needed one with a big grin on my face because if you see me I'm normally laughing or smiling. :)

Prancing off together in the sunset....
ha!
