I was thinking
about how that fact that I have a big family is confusing to some
people. Then I thought about how, on my blog, people would hear
something like "Andrea" and think "who's that?" then, they could just
check out my Characters Encyclopedia page and find out! I added other
people and things that I thought might be important to mention. I will
update each persons/things descriptions as well as add new ones!
In alphabetical order:
Andrea- is my sister and is the oldest of the kids. She is 30. Honestly, I must give her credit for her good style. She looks pretty beautiful and has a haircut like a 5 year-old girl. Shes married to Ben.
Ben- is my brother-in-law! Hes married to my oldest sister, Andrea. He was my youth leader (and Isaac's too) before he even met Andrea so Isaac and I are basically the ones who got them together. Hes 29 and hes really fun and tall. We love him!
Betsy- is my cousin! She is a sister to Julie and Josh! Right now she is living in a place in California and going to school there. She is really funny and makes great casadias and has really red hair! She is the daughter of Auntie Kathy and Uncle Neil.
Betty- is my friend. She's 14. Her real name is Elisabeth, but prefers Betty. She is really random (the good kind of random!) and giggles a lot. I mean a lot. She is really good at making people laugh and it is easy to make her laugh too! She is really nice!
Chris- *See "Mom"*
Danielle- is our really good family friend who lives in Canada! She is Andrea's old roommate from college. She is really funny and has smaller feet than me.
Evan- (Pronounced "eh-ven") is my brother. He is 25. He's pretty cool. I don't see him too much, but he's really good at sledding and swimming. He is pretty much not afraid of anything (that I know of) and likes to do funny/crazy stuff.
Hannah and Sarah (or H&S)- Are my friends that are twins. they are 16. If you ever hear me say something about them in my blog, I will often call them H&S or Ham and Sar. They are really imaginative and special. They are really funny and make me laugh a lot.
Isaac- is my brother. He's 18. He is a kinda
weird kid. He's really tough and strong. He can be pretty annoying
sometimes, (like when he beat-boxes excessively) but other times he can
be almost normal. He likes to be outside and do his "boy-scoutish"
things. He also loves he 4 story tree fort. I love him a lot. He's
pretty cool.
Jude- is a little boy I babysit. He is 3 and will turn 4 soon. He is really sweet and has really blonde hair. He loooooves rocks and trucks and loves saying hi and learning everybody's names. He calls me "Lee" because he can't say my full name.
Julie- is my cousin! She is about 24 now! She is really awesome and funny! Her sister is Betsy and her brother is Josh! She is really good at making quilts like Mom and making cookies.
Laura-is one of my good friends! She is 15. She's super awesome and we laugh alllllll the time. And we tease each other a lot. We've been friends for a long time and when we met each other, we got into trouble (we got stuck in a locker...heh-heh), so you can imagine what it's like now...
Leah- I am 16. I enjoy learning about Jesus and I don't like brussel sprouts. I really like to be outside and to play in my front yard or in the woods in my backyard. I like to hang out with people and talk with them about their lives. I really love little children and love to be around them. I also really love my family and swimming. And sleeping.
The Lewis'- are the family that I babysit for. Their kids are Theo (7) and Penny (5) and Felix (4) and Oswald (2). I babysit all of them and they are really really great kids and are so fun to talk with. They teach me about life more than I teach them about anything.
Mallory- is my cousin. She is 14. She is the youngest cousin and we both are really close. I think we are pretty much the closest of the cousins! She is really smart and says random things. She just got glasses that make her look like a professor. (that's a good thing!)
Maren- is my sister. She is 21. She is pretty awesome. Her personality is kind of calm and shy, although at most times she is crazy and sarcastic. She really loves her chickens and pretty much all animals especially hedgehogs, Owls, and (especially again) Whales.
Megan- is a very close friend of mine. She is a year older than me and never ever ceases to make me laugh. Shes one of the most genuine people I know and couldn't be more blessed to have her as a friend!
Mom- is my mom. She's really cool and is really supportive. After raising 7 of us, she's an expert. I think she's 58...but she doesn't dye her hair so everyone thinks she's my grandma. She always makes us food and has to be pretty great to be able to put up with 7 kids.
My Family- is my family. It's big. I have 7 older biological siblings and two in-laws who married to my oldest brother and my oldest sister. My dad is a veterinarian and he always brings home gross stuff to us so we're all immune to blood and gore. We're all very adventurous and sarcastic. I love my family a lot and wouldn't be who I am without each one of them.
Natalie- Is my sister. She's 24. She is eccentric. She likes to wear her laderhousen and make herbal things. She is really smart when it comes to plants and bone things and she really loves Aerial dancing. (she currently has no neck brace any more!) She lives in North Carolina.
Olivia- is a little girl I babysit! She is 6 years old and is really cute. She loves to play at my house and see the chickens.
Peter- is my brother. He is 26. He is pretty smart and likes to hike and rock climb. Plus, he looks really good in a suit. He is married to Sarah.
Ryan- is a good family friend of ours! He is really cool and loves climbing and playing and stuff like that. He's really funny too. I think he's like...26 or something...
Ruben- is my nephew! Hes the cutest little buglet in the world and I love him to pieces. Hes about 5 months old. His parents are Peter and Sarah.
Sarah- is my sister in-law. She is 25. She is my brother, Peter's, wife. She is pretty cool and wears nice dresses. She has inspired me with her love for helping deliver babies. (she wants to be a midwife.) Peter met her when I was really little so to me it feels like sarah has always been a part of our family. Shes just like a real sister to us all!
Sophie- is my cousin. She is 17 now and is a sister to Mallory. She's pretty cool and laughs a lot! When we were little, we liked to get together and wear tu-tus and pretend to be really fancy ballerinas.
Sophie and Emily- I have known Sophie and Emily for all my life pretty much. Sophie is 15 and Emily is 13. They are pretty darn funny and weird. We laugh a ton and we tease each other a lot. If you didn't know us, you'd probably think that we were really mean to each other, but we've known each other for such a long time, that we are so used to it! When you put us together in a room, it all gets a ton more hilarious.
Uncle Mark- Is my uncle! He is the father of Mallory and Sophie. He is really nice and funny and he was the one who invited me to go to Hawaii with them a couple years ago! He is really nice to hug, too! He's awesome! I love him! And he didn't even have to buy me anything! (You don't have to understand that. It's an inside joke!)
412- is the high school youth group at Hillcrest Chapel. I go there too. It is really awesome and all the people there are super amazing and nice! Sonora goes there too! It is led by Pastor Dan. It is based off of 1st Timothy 4:12. That's how it got its name.
