SITS: How can I go the year without being thankful for S.I.T.S.? My blog wouldn’t be read at all by anybody if it weren’t for them. I am so grateful for their website, their group of awesome bloggers, and their recognition of amazing writers. 😉 I have learned so much, and grown so much in my writing because of them.
Rachel: I also have her to thank for my blog as well. One of my favorite neighbors (until she moved a week ago!!!) and friends, she introduced me to her blog over a year ago. I was so inspired by her family blog, and her carefree style of writing, that I decided to get back into my own groove of writing as well. So I copied her and started my family blog and then days later, this one as well. I just couldn’t get enough. Rachel is so much fun, very real, and super sweet. I can’t wait to be friends with her for years and years to come. Well, especially because I have big plans for her Noah to marry my Chloe. =) Oh, and I think we should write a book together. So, ya, she’s not going anywhere either. ha ha!
Brittany: Brittany is my little sister, and the “free spirit” of the family. She’s a nomad, always going from here to there. After a stay at college, she decided to try the mission field, and traveled anywhere from Hawaii, to Thailand, all the way to Africa for a few years. In between the travels, she had the awesome experience of living with Jimmy and I as newlyweds. Poor girl. We must have been so sickingly intoxicating to live with that she headed quickly out to Africa for a couple of years. But it couldn’t have been so bad, because she moved back in with us again when she got back until she got on her feet and settled here in Cali. She’s like me in that she couldn’t bear to move back to the cold and rain Washington had to offer. It’s been tough to be super close with her always going from here to there, but I love her just the same. She is really thoughtful and like Malia, she is really good at remembering important dates and sending the sweetest cards. When Chloe was born, she baked brownies and brought them to the hospital, and then even offered to make the birth announcements for me. (They were the most adorable announcements ever.) On Thanksgiving, her and her husband came over and made us dinner (well she did, not her husband…), and her putting forth that effort really made it feel like a family holiday. She just got married in July, so she’s all busy being sickingly intoxicated in love, but I’m excited for the honeymoon to end so that we can see her more often! Okay, that sounded bad. I wish them to always feel honeymoon-ish, but…well, you know what I mean. We just want our Aunt Brittany around!
