I haven't posted in a while so here goes...

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year so far...I was reading my sister Kaleena's blog posts this morning and she is so dedicated...I'm a lot more sporadic than she is...sometimes my life just gets too busy...I helped to photograph a great family group of 28 this past weekend...They were so much fun and so easy to work with. I think their pictures are going to turn out great...I possibly may go shoot a wedding in Las Vegas in April...That will be fun as I've never been on an airplaine or been to Vegas...This past weekend has been fully loaded for me...Aside from the large family group I photographed...I went to church with my dad and took pictures of him getting baptised...I took my mom to Monterey and Crossville to see 2 of her brothers and one of her sisters...It was sort of strange bc my mom's family have never been really close but it seems like as they get older they are atleast able to tolerate their differences much better...Right now one of my mom's sisters is staying with my mom at her house...she also went with us to visit the other siblings...Some of them hadn't seen each other in 10 years or more...all of us kids have grown up and started families of our own...It makes me reflect back to my own brother and sister...Kaleena and I are pretty close in age...there's just 2 yrs and 9 months between us...and we haven't always got along...what sibling group always gets along though right? However I know that if I need her she's always gonna be there and she knows the same about me...We've accepted that we're different and respect each other's opinions...but we have always loved each other...I can't imagine going 10 years without having her in my life...or watching her 3 precious little girls grow up...My brother Triston and I have a very complex relationship bc he's almost 14 yrs younger than me and I have a more maternal instinct when it comes to him...It's crazy but he turns 18 on Feb. 12...sometimes I look at him and see the man he's become and I am just taken away at how small he used to be...I miss him being little and looking at me with adoration but I'm also looking forward to seeing what he chooses to do as an adult...He's very special to me and again I can't imagine not having him in my life for 10 years...I just wanted everyone to know that you may think you have the best brother or sister in the world but I believe you're wrong because unless you are my sister or brother yours simply couldn't be the best because I already have the best...and everyone knows their can be only one and since I have the best sister and the best brother everyone else's has to rate lower...that's just a fact right!
