This is my new family. Aren’t they cute? They would probably all kill me for saying that. haha On the left we have Tyler or T-Ray who is the baby of the family. He is a stud of a football player and pretty hot on the dance floor. All the coaches and girls are after him! He is also quite the trash talker. Next we have Marci. Marci intimidated me at first because she is so intelligent. But after spending time with her she has a personality that puts everyone at ease. She is actually quite hilarious and always makes me laugh. One thing that I love about Marci is how she is able to open up on the dance floor. She can move! She is also great at constantly improving herself. Marci has so many talents that we could all learn something from her. Then we have LaRae and Kyle. LaRae is super mom, super business woman, and super relief society counselor. I don’t know how she does it but she does it marvelously! I have always loved how welcoming LaRae is. Despite Ben bringing home a new girlfriend every month she managed to still make me feel special. I love chatting with her and feel like I’ve known her forever. Kyle swears. The odd thing is that I laugh every time he does it. Kyle is also quite the story teller, which Ben has picked up on. (I often find myself asking Ben to tell me another story.) Kyle is a great dad and will be a fabulous grandpa! (One of these days.) Then of course we have Shawn or if you are Tyler you call him Shane. Shawn just turned 16 and is finally having to live up to all his high talk of his dating life. I love Shawn because I always eat his food. (Mostly just his mangos.) Shawn, like Tyler, is quite the ladies man. Girls are constantly calling the house asking for them. Shawn is also an amazing runner and an amazing observer. He notices things about people that others don’t and I like that about him. And last of all my favorite new family member~ Ben. Ben is a stud and such a go getter. He does well on everything because he always gives it 100% of his effort. Ben loves to get reactions out of people and do the untraditional. He refuses to put up Christmas lights for me but has consented to buying me a Christmas tree. I love my new family and I’m grateful for them welcoming me into their hearts so quickly.
Not pictured~ Brogan and Alix (both on missions)
Alix makes me laugh every time I’m with her. She felt like a sister to me right away. She is also an amazing missionary.
Brogan seems hilarious but this I will have to wait to tell for sure. All I know is that most of Ben’s wise cracks are Broganisms. I’m excited to get to know Brogan better. One thing I do know is that Brogan is a super baller missionary!
