Loving Support...

As time is coming to a close, I realize that I have blogged about all that is here, and the people that are here, but I also have a world back home! I have family and friends that have supported me through this semester from overseas. I love them so much!
My family means the world to me. I have such a wonderful immediate family, and we are super close with our extended family. Both my parents have 5 other siblings, so you can imagine how big my family is. I am so glad that we have eternityto spend together. Here is a little about my family...

My immediate family consists of my Dad (Mark), Mom (Kristine), Tanner(15) and Lindsey(10).

My Dad is a doctor and I love him so much. He does so much for our family! I have missed him this trip, but enjoy our emails back and forth. I hope to marry someone that possesses all the qualities he has someday. I miss him when I am away. Him and I are more alike than different and I get so many qualities from my Dad that I love!


My Mom is my best friend. I miss talking to her all the time on the phone while being here! You know how daughters tend to keep stuff from their mom? Well...I pretty much will tell my mom anything. She is my hero! She is not only the most kind, but the most generous woman I know. My mum is constantly doing things for other people and never for herself. I love her so much and hope to grow to be just like her someday!


My cute siblings:
Tanner is such a stud. He is 15 and in his teenage years, and I love it! He may be younger than me, but he is definitely taller at over 6 feet! I feel like I have a different, yet equally as good relationship with both my siblings and Tanner and I can now relate in so many different ways since he has entered high school. I love texting and talking on the phone and emailing. I called home the other night and we talked for over a half hour. It meant the world to me! Love him so much. I can't wait to see him in the airport in just a few short weeks.

Lindsey is 10 and she is so adorable! This cute girl is in the 5th grade. Next year my mom will no longer have an elementary schooler anymore. Scary how fast time is going and how fast she is growing up! Though we have 8 1/2 years between us, I love having a sister. There is something different about the love of sisters! I can't wait to have a sleepover when I get home. I know we will be closer than ever for years to come! She has so much life in her, not to mention she is beautiful. I love you Linds!





I am so grateful for both my immediate and extended family's support! I could have never made it here without their help in this process!
To all my friends back home...I can't blog about all of you. But thanks for your emails and letters while I have been here. I appreciate how our relationships have continued to grow even though I am far away!
Love you all! Thanks to everyone for their love and support! I am so blessed to know such wonderful people. Can't wait to see all of you!
