ok I know, it's saturday night, and the blog obsession has hit full force. so i told chase that the date he wants to go on can happen after him taking a long nap- ultimately selfishly wanting more time to blog.
so this blog entry is going to be about my family....seriously how great it is to be one of the seven greatest women in my dad's life. Yes it is the case, my family has six girls. no boys...and we all start with M. I am the fourth and can honestly say i wouldn't change my place in the pecking order for a million dollars. Ok i get to be the one that just goes with the plans, i'm not the mother hen so i really am not expected to make them. so in this area of my life, i get to let the control go. I mean don't get me wrong we all secretly pull for our way...sometimes harder than others...but ultimately I like having this area of my life to just take a back seat and ride on the roller coaster of family plans.
i know what you are all thinking...her parents must be saints, and as sickening as this may sound, they kinda are. My mom can't gossip, so for her having six chatty girls...she's the ultimate example of something we'll never live up to. She has been the ultimate giver through out my life...she really has been guidance behind all of our outrageously crazy personalities and the supporter of living life to the fullest. although everyone always says I of all the girls am least like my mother...that I am much more similar to my dad....My secret goal is to even be half of what she is someday.
my dad...who is all about wearing his kacki's and hawaiian shirts....has the greatest life of anyone I know. SEriously think about it, what a fun party to be part of. He really does have it good. there are some down sides I'm sure; probably including, having to listen to the "tell me if this makes me look fat, count these calories, or paint my nails...or "no dad i will wear this as tight as i want to". HE really hasn't had control for the past 28 years, and he may pretend to put up a fight, but let's be honest...he has 7 girls to keep happy, so usually he just goes with it.
so what is it like to have five sisters...I will tell you. AT first for me some say it could be like an identity crisis. I mean we all have some similarities- if it's looks or personalities, but we are all so different too.
all of my sisters give me something that the other one doesn't, and together all of them make up my wildest memories and greatest joy in life. My sister Maralee (aka Mar of mir and mar) is my rock and has been the greatest friend. Heck of a girl to follow. At her wedding I referred to her as "Oprah times 10". Manda who I call "sue" is my inspiration, she has a heart that is made of something that gold doesn't hold a shadow to. Michelle, shelle, is my role model and someone that i relate to on levels that I have never found with anyone else. Melissa is the fun that is the voice in my head saying, you only live once. marcia, our baby, is and always will be my partner in crime.
