My first post

This is my first posting. I have only done the blog thing one other time and it was for an English class assignment and all I did was post some writing assignments I did for the class and also some of my former papers, so I really don't have much experience in the way of blogging. So here I go, I am a 25 year old woman going to school to become a Child-life specialist. I have an associates of science degree and am now taking classes in the field of child-life specialty. My family consists of my mom (Colleen or Coco), my step-dad (Ted or Papa), my oldest sister (Crystal), her husband (Brandon), my niece and nephew (Brandon and Crystal's kids)(Zac and Chelsea), my baby brother (even though most people think he is older than me) (Rodger or James or Jaja, I will most likely call him Jaja), my oldest step-sister (Randi), her husband (Joe), and my niece and nephew (Joe and Randi's kids)(Lydia and Aedyn), and my youngest step-sister (Melody or as I like to call her DeeDee) and my nephew (DeeDee's son)(Gabriel) and not to forget my cat (Patches) and Brandon and Crystal's dogs Bridget and Zelda(also known as Deedaw). The last two nights I have been staying at my sister's house babysitting her two dogs while she is in Vegas for her 5 year anniversary. Congrats to you by the way. I don't know if I say it enough but I am glad you are my sister and appreciate everything you have done for me in the past. I love you. I am very grateful for my entire family if I didn't have you guys I don't know what I would do. I was reading my mom's blog and reading an old post that I hadn't read and it had me crying so hard Bridget and Zelda (the girls) were frantic. She had written that it has been ten years since the passing of my dad and her memory of that night. Just typing that has me near tears again. I really do miss him and I know he is here with me in spirit. I know it sounds strange but every once in a while I can smell his aftershave when no one else is around. Anyways, it is probably time for me to get some sleep so I will end this post.
