So I know I'm behind, but my Internet hasn't been working, so I have an excuse...:) So here goes:
Day 4: Your family

Basically my family rocks. They're pretty much my favorite। I'm the youngest of seven children (five boys, 2 girls including me), and I have 2 sisters-in-law and 1 brother-in-law, four nephews and five nieces (cutest.kids.ever.!!). Everyone in my family is super talented at very different things, which can be daunting when you're the youngest and have 6 awesome older siblings that have set a pretty high bar. So here they are:

1. My dad was a police officer for 27 years, and then he got a doctorate degree in political science, and then he spent a few years as a safety officer, and then he developed criminal justice programs for 2 online universities, and now he is working for an online university helping them build programs efficiently। He is pretty much the coolest person I know. He is super smart and we have bookshelves full of biographies and church histories and other history books that he has read, and he's always helping me figure out physics or whatever else I'm having difficulties with. It is also super fun to have deep philosophical discussions with him, becasue he knows everything. He is an excellent leader and an amazing father and he should pretty much be president of the world.
2. My wonderful mother is a nurse, and has been for her whole career, though for the last 12ish years she's been a diabetic educator, which proved to be extremely helfpful when my brother was diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago। Before that she spent most of her nursing career in the NICU (neonatal intesive care unit), in other words she worked with babies! And she rocked it. She is also super woman because she is balancing a full time job, going to school (to get her bachelor's), and taking care of her family, and she's amazing at all of it. Even though she's doing all that she still hast time to care about me and my problems. She has a super caring heart and is just all around awesome sauce.
3. My oldest brother is an electrical engineer,he is crazy smart and just got his master's degree. He is also a crazy good artist and I am supremely envious of his mad drawing skills. He also plays the guitar beautifully and is an awesome father of 4 super cute kids, and a super cool big brother. I think he inherited all the nice genes, cause he is just super nice. He and his amazing wife live pretty far away so I don't see them that much, but it's super fun when I do get to!
4. The next one is almost done with his PhD in post-colonial literature. He is also a mad genius, and he is an excellent writer, obviously. His poems are amazing. He, like the oldest one, is an awesome dad. He's got 2 adorable kids that are growing up to be just like him and their awesome mom. He also likes to skateboard and tried to teach me how but I can barely stand on one, so it didn't work out. He is also a black belt and could kick your butt!
5. My sister has two bachelor's degrees, one in accounting and the other in nursing. She uses the nursing degree, and she is fabulous at it. My goal in life from the time I was about 4 was to become my sister. She is super smart and beautiful and amazing at everything she does, and she is supermom. She's got three beautiful little girls and an awesome husband. She also plays the piano beautifully and is really good at cooking and crafty things, which I will probably never be able to do :) She doesn't have a black belt, but she could kick your but anyways.
6. My next brother is a nurse, and he rocks at it! He is an IV king. He also is awesome at the piano and guitar, and he can pretty much do anything he decides to learn how to do, and can swim farther than pretty much anyone I know. He keeps trying to get me to go running with him, but it doesn't work out because he can run for like 8 miles straight and I definitely cannot :)
7. My next brother is bomb at computers. He's always helping me figure out mine because I am extremely deficient in technology know how. He's in school right now and in the meantime he's working at a music store, where he gets sweet discounts. He plays the ukulele, guitar, piano, and sings, and is pretty awesome sauce.
8. Then my last brother is also in school, and I think he's going to major in digital art. He's super good at drawing and digital art stuffs. He also is quite good at the guitar and playing things on the piano by ear, and he is a writer. He is currently writing a book that is pretty awesome, and he's written some sweet poems and short stories that rock.

Phew, that was a lot. I have one of those big Mormon families :) But anywho, that's them, and I love them all dearly. They are basically awesome :)
