What defines you?

I was watching Serendipity a few nights ago and there was a scene in the movie that got me thinking. The main character and his friend were talking about something when one of them gave the other a paper. He was a writer and was suppose to be writing something sentimental for the friend, but at the time had writers block so wrote his obituary instead. I know random, but it got me thinking about what we do in this life defines us. Then I started thinking about a few things that define my family and what great people they are.

Brian- He is incredible. A perfect person. Really, he is. He is the most talented man I know. The most talented women would be my sister. He tries anything and he succeeds. He is kind, and once you are his friend, he will never desert you. He is true to his family and nothing is more important. He loves hunting but will and would never have it be more important than his family. He is my very very best friend. I love him.
My dad- His hobbies are an escape for him, so he has a lot. He never wants his kids to suffer and is one of the the most giving person I know. His knowledge is profound and never ending. He knows everything.
My mom- She is the most giving person in this world. Her life is her kids. Everything she does is for them, and I have always appreciated the opportunities she has helped provide for me. It’s amazing how she can pull 25 hours out of a day and be in multiple places at once.
Max- My worst enemy turned best friend anyone could ask for. We have the best relationship I have seen between siblings. I could be biased though. He has compassion for others that rivals Gandhi. He was born to be a missionary and has true love for those in his life. He has a thirst for knowledge that challenges my own and has the one of the best literary knowledge base I know.We were defiantly born to be in the same family.
Eric- The strongest 17 year old I know. He stands up for what he believes in and doesn’t believe in peer pressure. He knows what is right and won’t do what is wrong. Anytime you need help, he will be there. He is freaking amazing COD player. We have never once been in a fight, and have a bond that I hope never to lose.
Emily- Haha we are awesome. Emily never has a frown on her face for more than a few minutes. She is the funniest person I know. She doesn’t care what others think of her, and also believes in what’s right and peer pressure doesn’t affect her. Her socks never match, we both love Miley Cyrus and our brains are the same. We think the same, laugh the same and say the same things at the same time. She is defiantly my sister.
Kraig- He loves his family more than anything and loves to have them around him. Hunting=Kraig. He would be lost without it. His passion for his hobby is the most passion I have seen anyone show.
Wendy- She loves being with family and would never turn anyone away if they needed help. She is kind, compassionate and very talented musically.
Scott- lives the gospel better than anyone I know. He knows his faith and never questions it. I love talking about children’s books with him, he gets so excited about them as I do.
Becca- She loves her little boy and would do anything for it. Her family and her faith are the most important things in her life and she lives it strongly.
Kevin- He is the best brother Brian could have. They are best friends and do everything together. He loves to skate, hunt, air soft, drum and have fun. When he wants to do something he will do it and do it well. Make friends with him, and he will never leave you. He also knows what is right and will never stray from that.
Janelle- She loves to have fun and is always laughing. Her talent for music rivals Scott’s. She loves to sing and dance and gets joy from her talents as she shares them with others.
Kelsey- The best friend a girl could have. Everyone dreams of having that friend that if you don’t see for weeks, months or years, and yet when you do see each other, it’s as if you haven’t missed a beat. We will be lifelong friends and I am so glad to have her in my life.
Jon Poll- He is almost Family and I might disown him once he leaves my department, but he is one of my best friends. Without him, I wouldn’t have made it this far with my insanity. We consider each other a sibling, a twin more actually. He has filled the gap of discussion of knowledge I use to have with Max. we should have been born in the same family.

  1. I loved this post!!! I may actually still the idea if your okay with that.. And what you said about max.. being that he's pretty much the only one I know besides Jon, is so true! I love getting letters and reading his great testimony!

    You didn't say anything about you!

    Sara: Has the sweetest disposition towards any person. She's always friendly, and has the best advise to offer. Whether your her best friend or not she opens up to you and lets you know that she can be there for you. She's "wiser" (more wise, however you want to word it..) with her thoughts. She never makes you feel belittled for your own thoughts and feelings, especially if she thinks otherwise. She's pretty much one of the coolest people I know! I'm glad I've gotten to know her!

  3. Kinda thinkin I should have been on "The List". Whatever. No, really you pegged them. (Well, the ones I know.) I think I saw either Brian or maybe a Brian-brother at the rodeo in a scout uniform. Yes? K-check out my blog if you haven't. And why doesn't that mom of yours comment on your blog? And why doesn't she read mine? Isn't Max back yet? And why is the sky blue? (I actually know the answer to that last question, so don't bother telling me!) :)

  4. Max isn't back for another year.
    Heather- the most hilarious, most kind, willing to do anything for anyone. If you know her, she treats you like family. A life long friend that you will and can always count on.
