We have fun

My family is probably the coolest family on the planet. Even though I want to strangle some members more often than others, I still love them like it's my job! My mom is especially amazing. We've always been close and done things together, but this summer knowing my brother and I would have a hard time, she made sure we got together at least once a month and had a really great time.

Our first night out was to dinner at Barleycorns and then to the harbor for drinks.

My mom got something on her shirt! Bet it was beer!



Mmm. Cheeseburgers, beer, and family.

Hi!

Jimmy and Kelly, snugglin.

No more beer for me!

Aww brother and sister


Love it!

CHEESE FRIES.

They're seriously the best cheese fries ever.

Sisters!

I had the best time ever with them this summer and just looking at the pictures makes me want to have another family fun night! Funny how when you're like 17 or 18 years old you're way too cool to hang out with the family. Now it's one of my favorite things to do!

I don't want to talk about it

Ever had something happen to you that hurt so bad that you tucked it safely away under your mattress never to be brought back out again? Although it's so big that you know it can't possibly stay there for too long. It's not the best idea either. I know this because after I tucked it away my feelings turned from sorrow into anger. I'm not as happy as I used to be. My patience for ignorance is slim to none. Don't smile as much. I feel it is impossible to deal with. Every time I try to revisit it I lock up. I don't cry. I don't feel anything really. I'm numb again. Maybe all of this is part of the "cycle" people say you go through. I don't know what it is but I know I'm not okay, although I'm good at pretending to be. I guess if you're desperate for something that's impossible you can go a little crazy. Sometimes I just want someone to tell me what to do to make it go away.
I miss my daddy.
