I am so extreemly blessed to have my family. I have a mother who is kind, strong, and patient, and has always been willing to sacrifice anything for me. I have a father who can't take a hint, has the biggest heart of anyone I know, and knows how to crack me up. I have a sister who has never betrayed herself and what she knows to be truth, is the nerdiest person i know, and who has always been watching my back, catching me when I stumble. I have a brother who taught me what true friendship means, who is sensitive and caring even if your the last person on the whole earth that he wants to see or talk to or drive around, and does more service without realizing it then anyone I know.
Often times, I come home and release all the anger, frustration, and sadness that has gathered up inside of me all day. I imagine i'm not a very fun person to be around for my family. Despite that, I've never felt unwelcome or unloved in my house. They've all been so patient with me and I love them all more than anything.
You guys are incredible. Easily, were the first family who welcomed me into this ward with open arms. You all are so special to me, and I love you guys and think about you often! THANKFUL FOR THE GROSLANDS!!!!
