I grew up skiing and bicycling in Grand Rapids, Michigan, until my family decided to move all the way out west to Flagstaff, Arizona. Many eleven-year-olds might become stubborn and defensive in response to such a massive, life-changing move, but I remember embracing it because I was with my family, and I was ready to face any obstacle that unveiled itself to me because I knew that my late comedic father, my worrisome mother, and my troublesome brother would be right by my side.

When growing up with siblings it can be both, amazing and terrorizing. Coming for a girl with three older brothers it has its ups and downs at times. We all have different ways of doing things. Our lives have differed from the years being apart, parent control, and being spoiled. Although, a lot of siblings fight and have their aggravating moments, we do but we don’t fight a lot.

She hurried away from the window, fearful that the thing would look up and see her watching. She scurried into the closet and closed her eyes, praying that it wouldn’t get inside.

AWAKE IN AN INSTANT, I WHIPPED MY COVER OFF AND DOVE FOR MY CLOSET, ALREADY ATTEMPTING TO SILENCE THE SOBS STARTING DEEP IN MY CHEST. AS I SWUNG THE DOOR CLOSED, THE DOOR TO MY ROOM WAS BARRELLED INTO BY A DRUNKEN MAN WHO I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO CALL MY FATHER. THE HINGES GAVE A SICKENING CRACK, THOUGH TO BE FAIR IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT AFTER ALL OF THOSE DRUNKEN NIGHTS ANY DOOR IN OUR HOUSE WAS STILL STANDING.

At the time, my sister, Marsha, and I wanted to live in the small town we grew-up in; therefore, we resided with my Dad for several years. We were teenagers by then and realistically needed a great deal of discipline; unfortunately, for us, with Dad’s party side and being divorced, he remained gone the majority of the time.

Home is the beginning of one’s book. It is where your story begins, forms its characters, shows its purpose, and reveals its ora. This is how mine is written. Home is on the buzzing highway down a bumpy gravel road. It’s Brandon, Mississippi. It is the only home I’ve ever known. Home is the smell of homemade biscuits and tomato gravy on Saturday mornings. It is “Bless Your Heart” and “Yes Mam” and “No Sir”. The little bedroom in the back of a grey double-wide where Carrie Underwood songs played and where I learned to curl my hair and put on mascara. My cousins and I running around with mason jars, chasing the lightning bugs. Bar-B-q on the back porch and never meeting a stranger. It is the morals learned and the identity

He has advanced himself, due to the fact that he started at an entry level position at his work and is not the head manager. As higher authorities have been sending him to major conferences in a couple of states around Texas. However, he has been really engaged with our mom, as I believe he still resides in

“Who thought the baptism water would be as cold as an ice bath?” Much like anyone growing up in Las Vegas, or otherwise known as “Sin City,” we have always been surrounded by people from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Those people are commonly known as “Mormons.” Boy, let me tell you, there are Mormons everywhere in Vegas! There was always something about them that made me interested.
