So yeah…I haven’t done these in a few months I think but here goes nothing.
First shout out that I wanna give is to my brother Nick, for helping me out with my taxes this year. It sounds silly of course to those of you who don’t understand, but think of it like this…I have never had to do my taxes on my own before and now that I am married and living on my own with my wife, Amber, things of course, have to change. So I got myself up and going and got through the whole tax return process and now…I’m finished!
Nick helped me out with some of the lingo and jargon that I didn’t understand and probably even help me spot out some things that might earn me a bigger pay-day in the end because I probably would have missed them. So thanks big bro for helping me out as an adult out in the real world trying to do grown up things, lol!
I wanna give a shout out to my sister Rachel too since her birthday was on February 1. I won’t say how old she is, but she is older than me and that’s all you people need to know, lol. But seriously, Rachel is one of my big sisters and she has lived up to the title. She has had a big influence in my life whether she realizes it or not. She is a good example of how a person can get through life’s hard times with flying colors and still have enough energy to put a smile on her face. Rachel knows what’s important in life and acknowledges that regularly. Both she and my brother Nick have been huge role models in my life since I was just a child. Rachel is the only sibling who is still back in our hometown so whenever I make it back home to see my dad, she makes it around to see me as well, and I don’t think she knows how much that means to me. She brings over her kids, my nieces and nephew, and it’s just a good time. I don’t get to see everyone that often since I live so far out-of-the-way, but seeing any bit of my family is always awesome for me and important as well. Rachel is a great mother to her kids and they all know it. Rachel is one of those moms who would sacrifice her life in a heartbeat to save her own kids. It’s a little cliché, but she really is a shining star in this sometimes dark world we all live in. She got herself through school, college, raised a family and still trucking along. She’s just one of those people who I couldn’t imagine living without. I didn’t get a chance to tell you happy birthday in person, but hopefully the wall post was a little good for you, haha. So happy birthday big sis and keep your head up. Our family is way too massive to go through life alone, and I’m not saying you do, but heck, All of us get so separated being such a huge family that we ALL just lose a little contact with one another. I’m rambling at this point, but just remember that family is always behind you and I know you’re always behind us. Love you Rachel.
Wanna give a shout out to my wife, Amber. It’s nothing in particular per se, but man, she impresses me every single day with her hard work and dedication to school and to her future. She impresses me with the knowledge she has in her future field. She tells me things about her career choice that make me think wow, I would have never known that unless she told me. I love that too. She always tells me something new that I don’t know and I have really learned to appreciate that after being married for over 6 months now. Amber is just an amazing woman who knows what she wants, even though she sometimes thinks she doesn’t. My boo boo is one special lady who couldn’t do anything to make herself more amazing to me. She is everything I’m looking for on this planet. She is perfect for not being perfect. You know what I mean? I love you A.D.D.S! Forever and always beautiful.
Well would you look at that…All of these awesome shout outs go out to people who are all tied to my family.
A brother.
A sister.
A wife.
Amen to that. Shows you how amazing of a family I have and how much we all love each other. All of us were raised with such great parents, including my wife. I just hope that all of you who ever meet us can see from afar that we are indeed, children of great parents in the end.
From Dave and Amanda to my parents Jeff and Teresa, you guys knew what you were doing when you all had us. I tip my hat and open my arms for all you guys. Your hard work paid off in the end. Trust me.
