F is for Family

Last Wednesday was my birthday WOOT WOOT and so my family drove up and then we flew out that night to the beach for Easter break!  -- it was AWESOME.  Since I am 19, my brother 17 and my sister 23-- we are all finally at that point where its fun to just "hangout." You know, everyone's out of the tortured soul middle school phase and theres a general consensus to be chill rather than annoying?  So, thanks to that it was really fun.  My parents are the awesome kinds of people too who are always kids at heart so its like 5 best friends all hanging out together when the family goes somewhere, I love it.  I forget how fun it is to be with my family.  You have my sister who laughs at everything... until shes hungry, my brother who is supa-stylin' and thinks I am the weirdest person in the world, my dad who still cracks "those" jokes and has to be moving 24/7 and my mom who is secretly a secret agent and the funniest person I know, so put us all together and it's a good ol' time! I love it because they know me.  There is no hiding what I am thinking or how I will react because they already can guess- it's so fun to see how much we have grown together and the bond a family has - going through so much together and despite anything we do we will always be family. Sometimes I wish I could just freeze moments together so that we never have to be apart!  My sister is going to law school in Mississippi in the fall and I am in Nashville and my brother/parents are in Memphis, so I cherish the rare times where we are all under the same roof!

Anyways, of course I get burned the first day at the beach and not only did I burn, but apparently someone forgot to teach me how to put on sunscreen because I had splotches of weird redness and then I swear I had a random white spot on my arm in the middle of a sea of red... how did that happen?  Needless to say, it pained me to wear clothes and be in the sun the rest of the week.  I was that girl with a full outfit on out in the sand under the umbrella with no one to play with but a book and some cold sand.  People pitied me.  It's all good though because the burn eventually turned into tan!  Although many people have asked me if I have been going to the tanning bed.... no, shutup, I am offended.  Not really... but a little.

Basically this post does not have a grand purpose except that I just wanted to say how much I love my family and the trips we go on together!
