Though I don’t have a family of my own and my life is not that exciting and I probably won’t have a lot to write about, Annelisa you have inspired me to start blogging. I am horrible at keeping in touch with people (including my family) and hopefully this will make it easier for people to know what is going on with my life even though we may not talk that often and hopefully I will be able to see what you all have been up to as well.
First I would like to start by saying that I love my family very much. Though I may not make all the right decisions and you may not agree with everything I do, I know you will always be there for me and support and love me no matter what. That means so much to me. I am sorry for all the pain I put you through and just know that I do understand how you feel but I am happy and who knows, maybe things will change someday but for right now I am ok with who I am.
To my sisters, this last Christmas was so fun with you being there. I didn’t realize how much I miss you guys. When you left I felt like I was all alone. You are the only people I can get mad at and be mean to and you still have to love me. I love that we can be fighting one minute and then the next laughing at something stupid. It feels good to know if I ever need anything no matter how long it’s been since we last saw each other or spoke that you will always be there for me. I love you both so much. You are my heroes and I wish we could talk and see each other more often.
To my brothers you are so fun to be around! You always make me laugh and we have so much fun annoying Mom at Sunday dinner. I love you guys and I know you are always there when I need you.
Mom and Dad- I love you so much. Thank you for all you do for me, for the unconditional love and patience. I know that I have hurt you both so much and that raising me was not always the easiest but you did an awesome job. Thank you for always being there for me and supporting me even when you didn’t want to. I appreciate you more than you know. You have always been such a great example to me of what I want out of life and I will get there someday. You are the best parents I could have ever hoped for.
Anthony I know that I am not easy to get along with or even live with. Thank you for being so patient with me and loving me no matter what. Thanks for laughing with me and going on walks and helping me try to figure out what I want out of life and helping me get there. I am so proud of all that you have accomplished. You are the smartest, funniest and most genuine person I know. I respect you so much for that. I love you more and more every day and I am so glad you are a part of my life.
I have 13 very cute nephews and nieces. They are so fun to be around and I wish I could see them more. They are Brandon, Emily, James, Jacob, Megan Lindsey, Nicholas, Hannah, Zachary Crookston, Haley, Callie, Katelyn Judi, and Matt and Riley. I can’t wait to watch them grow up and see who they become. I love them all very much and miss them.
Ok here is a little about myself…I recently moved to Seattle. I am literally a five minute walk to Downtown and a five minute walk to Capitol Hill. I love it here. I have the best view of Lake Union and the Space Needle. I live with my best friend and the person I love most, Anthony. I recently took up Glass Blowing. I have always wanted to do it. My mom took me to watch some people in Downtown Renton five or so years ago but it wasn’t until I moved to Seattle that I got my chance. I started with a weekend workshop (two days, four hours each day) at the Seattle Glassblowing Studio and I was hooked. I then went on to take two, six week courses (one day a week, four hours a day). Now that I am done with that I hope to continue. The next six week course starts in March. A friend I met through the class and myself are going to start renting studio time to practice. Our first attempt at assisting each other is tomorrow. I will let you know how that goes. Other than that my life is pretty normal and boring. I work Monday through Friday 7:30 to 4:30 as an Accounting assistant in Preston, WA. I like to run and hope to one day to be able to run a Marathon. I love to read and I love hanging out with my friends (which I don’t do enough). Also recently Anthony and I got our Motorcycle Endorsements and hope to get bikes that we can ride around Seattle. I also look foreword to getting to know Seattle better. I love walking around and seeing the sights and the people. It is so fun!!
