So, I know a lot of people say that they have the greatest family, but I'm pretty sure they're wrong. I win, hands down. :) Hahaha. Dawna and her husband, Justin, came down to Utah this past weekend, and we were able to spend some time together, and as Dawna and I were driving up to Lagoon (an amusement park in Utah), we were having a pretty great conversation about how important family is, specifically how we have such a great family. So, how about some introductions? :)
Daddy aka. Papa Ron, The Ron
I am thoroughly convinced that I have the world's greatest dad. Seriously, this man is amazing. He has always been there for me. I definitely don't think I give him enough credit. From helping me with my math homework, to helping me learn to fish, to helping me become better at sports, my dad has always been there for me. He used to spend countless hours with me throwing the ball around, or chasing after wild pitches, helping me become a better pitcher in high school. This man has taught me so much. I love him. He is the best daddy a girl could ever ask for :)
Papa Ron :)
The Greatest Parents :)
Next comes my Mama!
My mom is seriously one of my very best friends. I tell her everything and anything, and she listens, no matter how silly or stupid what I tell her is. My mom has been there for me through everything. She has laughed with me, laid in my bed and cried with me, and given me great advice throughout my entire life. I love her so much. She's the greatest Mom ever :).
Mama Storey. She's the best in the world. She is so great, and I hope to be just like her when I am a mom. She is so loving and caring and fun. I just love her :)
That brings us to Dawna. aka Bawnana :)
Dawna Bawnana is my oldest sister. She's been a great role model for me, and she is another one of my best friends. I love talking to her and spending time with her. I admire her and think she has done so much with her life. I am so proud of her and cannot wait until she starts having babies so I can be an Auntie :). She is so fun and I love my oldest sister :)
I'm told that when I have dark hair, I look a lot like Dawna. This picture is pretty old, but it's fine.
Dawna Bawnana, my beautiful, talented, amazing, caring oldest sister. LOVE HER!
Then comes Ashley. aka, Ash, Ashweeee, Shnuff, and Ash-hole (I think I'm the only one allowed to call her that :) haha)
Ashley Lynn and I have a special relationship. For the majority of my childhood, we shared a room. We used to share a bed. Then it went to separate beds, and then it went to "you can't cross into my side of the room" and then we split rooms. Finally. Haha! I love my Ashweee! During our high school years we became super close. We would hang out with each other, and we became the best of friends. She was also my catcher when I was a pitcher. It was great. I knew she would help me out and be there to kick me in the butt if I was slacking off. She has been another great role model for me (I have the bestest sisters) and I look up to her in so many ways. She's amazing and beautiful and smart and funny and amazing (I already said that, but she's that amazing). I love my Ashwee a ton :)
Back in the day...to Best Friends
Then, there's my favorite little brother, Bucky. Aka, Aaron (real name), Buckshot, Stud, The Buckster.
Bucky and I have had quite the relationship. We went from being best friends as little kids, always playing with his trucks and toy animals, to not being able to really stand each other (you know, those young days) to being the best of friends. I love my brother. He is amazing. He has turned into quite the amazing young man. I love him and respect him and admire what he's done. Aaron Colby became one of my best friends my junior and especially my senior year of high school. I know that Bucky has my back in anything. He sticks up for me and helps me. I love my younger (but taller and bigger) brother :)
Basically, the point of this post is to say that I have the greatest, most amazing, bestest family in the entire world! :)
The Storey Family is pretty awesome.
We're so cool, a park is named after us :)
Families are Forever :)
