Five VIP's

Five People I Couldn't Live Without.
I have spent a lot of time thinking this topic over. I do not believe that I could limit my loved ones to five people that I couldn't live without and I have decided that I will include more than five and be a rebel by breaking the rules of the blog challenge.

~My Mom and Dad are the two essential human beings in my life. Each have provided love and support and most certainly passed down the most important life lessons to me. I wouldn't be the girl I am today without my daddy's honesty and sensitivity or without my mom's moral compass and determination. She has always known the correct response to whatever problem that I have had and has emotionally helped me through so much. He has always been willing to teach me things even if they weren't girly like driving the tractor or riding a four wheeler. She has always led by example and showed me how a real woman should live. He has been so funny in so many ways. She has become one of my best friends. I love both of my parents deeply and eternally.

~Many of my friends have joked for years about how my brother and I were actually suppose to be twins at birth because of the way our minds work. Nathan and I have definitely had our differences over the years, but I do NOT believe that I could exist in a world where he did not. He understands the inner workings of my thoughts even if sometimes I wish he didn't. No one could ever make me as angry or happy as he could. When I see a funny/good movie or hear an amazing new song he is the first person that comes to mind that I need to contact and share with. We share so many passions for the same type of things. He is gifted and talented and he makes me want to strive to be the best I can be. Thanks to you brother for being so special to me.
~ For many years I have thought to myself that I wasn't a kid person at all, which gave me constant worry that I wouldn't be good with them. Taylor Bug gave me that answer. Not only did I realize that I in fact was a kid person when my little sister came into this world, but also that I am still a kid at heart myself. She is so gracious and loving to all that she encounters. She barely has a mean bone in her body. My heart still flutters when I see that big smile on her face when she sees me. I love you so much doodle bug.
~Grey Carter. I do not even really remember a time without him, and I know he isn't even that old. Actually he will be 2 years old in three days!!! He is such a joy in my life and a source of constant entertainment. I love that boy and his mommy so very much. Kasey, you have grown to be a huge part of this family. I love you like a sister.

~I'm not sure I know too many people that know their grandparents the way I know mine, and that is certainly a sad thing in my opinion. At the ripe old age of 26, I still have all of my four grandparents. Most of my friends have lost at least one of theirs and some have lost them all but I haven't had to experience that terrible loss just yet. My Papa keeps me laughing with his jokes and urges me to be better all the time. My Granny is caring and loving to all of her grand kids and was always ready to step in there when she could. My Grandaddy is someone that I can bounce trivia off of and laugh about television. He loves his shows now and he won't even talk to you during some of them. He has passed this love for television on to me and my brother both. My Nana, well I don't know how to describe all the things that she has meant to me. She has been my sounding board and my guidance counselor for all the years of my life. She is calm and non-judgemental and I have never felt like I had to hold back from her. She has taught me to pray and to try and hold onto my faith even when I felt out of control of everything. She has always treated me like I was the only child in the world. I love all of my grandparents for different reasons and couldn't imagine having one of those pieces missing.

~My friends. Each of my closest friends hold a special place in my heart for they each offer such different energies in this life.
My Maggie has been like my right arm for as long as I even want to remember. We are, in almost every way possible, opposite and as the song goes, opposites attract! I was always loud and outgoing and when we were younger she was a little withdrawn and quiet. She has taught me how to be a friend. No matter where our lives take us or how long we go without talking, at the drop of a hat Maggie is right by my side or on the other end of a telephone. I love you Mags.
Kyla, is my person. She understands my insecurities and my faults and loves me for them. She and I have similar struggles in our past and it has forged us together. Love you Ky.
Jullay, is my mirror. She is the one that is brutally honest with me and will straighten me out or slap me around of I am acting stupid. She has had many worldly experiences that I have not and more than likely will not venture into ever but I always know that I could pick up that phone and ask her anything and she will always come through. Always and forever, I love you Julles.
This list could go on this way for a while because I have met some amazing people that have greatly influenced my life. Michelle for her undying optimism and Kristina for her comedic relief to name a few. Becca, I hope you know what you mean to me now. I often wish that I had known you for years and years like the rest of them. I swear no one makes me laugh any harder than you do right now, I mean seriously I often almost pee on myself. I love how we can make fun of each other and neither ever get upset. You just can't take life too seriously. Thanks Bec-bec.

~Last but not least, Jay. I do feel that I have met the man that I will spend the rest of my life with. He has completed me in a way that I didn't know was possible. He and our dogs are now family to me and I hope that this never changes because when I get home I feel whole. He understands my mind and my heart on multiple levels which I have never experienced in my entire life. I love you Jay and I am not sure that I want to ever give you up.
