My siblings and their spouses are some of our closest friends. We love spending time together; playing games, watching tv or sitting around the table visiting. I am the youngest of five siblings, I have two brothers and two sisters. Along with my siblings and their spouses we have eight nieces and nine nephews. My parents divorced in my early teens, however we have always maintained a close relationship. Their goal was to be supportive and encouraging of our goals and dreams.
From the time I was little, I always wanted to be a chiropractor, like my dad. We now work together in a thriving chiropractic office, minutes from home. My dad and his wife Susan are wonderful grandparents to the grandkids. He enjoyes teaching them how to snow ski, play ping-pong, or do flips on the trampoline. Susan is a wonderful grandma and loves to plan fun activities for us, and regular Sunday dinners together.
My mom is a high school english and math teacher. She has a gift for teaching, both in the classroom and out of it. My mom and her husband David love to have the whole family over for a day at the pool.

I have a wonderfully loving family. They have set an example of how to be supportive and make memories of even the simplest of things. My parents divorced when I was quite young, however they have always made an effort to keep our relationships close. They both re-married and had children with their spouses giving me two families.
My mom and step-dad are excited about us growing our family. My mom and step-dad live in the country on a little farm with chickens, goats, cows, horses, pigs and kittens. Our children will have the freedom to roam and play in the fields. Two of my brothers and my sister are married and my youngest two brothers are still living at home.

My dad and step-mom live close by as well, just minutes up the canyon and into the mountains. My dad, a manager at a local ski resort and ski patroller is looking forward to teaching grandkids to snow ski. My step-mom is a nurse and has a great love for the outdoors, she will share that love with her grandchildren. With this family comes three sisters!
