My family is amazing. They have been there for me through out every challenge. They have been there when I needed to vent, and when I needed to cry. They were always willing to give that speical hug that always makes you feel better. Ryan and I grew up as best friends. As we got older we started to grow apart as we did not see eye to eye on everything, but we both know the other will always be there for us and we will be great friends again one day...not that I could ever see "eye to eye" with him again. ;) Kolton and Max are little sweet hearts and I have a hard time admitting that they are getting so old. I still remember the day both of them were born. I have loved watching them grow and they were a vital part in my deciding to be a teacher. I would never have been the woman I am today with out each and every one of them.
I do not get to see my dad and Nathan very often because they live in South Carolina, but they mean the world to me. My dad is always proud of me and always makes me feel wonderful about myself. I always feel better after talking to him or spending time with them. Nathan is a sweet heart just trying to figure out the teen years and I love watching him grow. The only other way you can sum up Nathan would be to say he is definately a Chew boy...and if you know any Chew boys you would only be able to agree. I loved visiting last spring break and getting to spend time with them and helping Nathan with school. I am proud to be his sister and my dad's daughter. I am proud to be a Chew.
They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Gloudemans Family.
My family is an interesting bunch, thats for sure. Siraya always says she loves spending time with my family because we are always laughing and laid back. My older brother, Ryan, is, how do i put this....unique. He is one of the funniest people I know, even though I hate to admit it. He took care of me when we were little even though he wasn't (and still isn't) very intimidating. My little baby sister is Brynn. Seeing her go through her life is always a treat. I like to give her a lot of crap but she knows I love her so much. Its amazing how much she reminds me of my mom in some ways, and is completely opposite in others. My parents, Mark and Katy, are the greatest people I know, and I am not just saying that because they are helping us pay for the wedding. These two have been there for me whenever I need it and I love them so much. I can't wait to add Siraya to this family!
