You have made me who I am

Sometimes I wanna be little again...

I use to think that Jesus loved little children the very most!  I loved being little because I thought that if Christ came to earth He would most certainly want to see me first!  As I've gotten older, I've thought... "Darn it!  I'm not a little kid anymore... I kinda get jealous of children when I see pictures like this...  I like to picture all of us around Christ.  What an amazing older brother we have.  I'm sure when he comes again, He will want to see all of us because He loves us each so very much!

For some reason, this art work really touches me... Look at the angels around them... Sometimes I feel like that little girl in the blue dress.  So close to heaven, so happy and so at peace, other times I feel like the little boy and girl in the bottom left corner... kind of standing back and watching others progress and feeling left out but still hopeful that I'll have my turn.

This one makes me think of all of you... Someday I hope this happens but with us all together!  I want to be close to you girls my whole life and forever after!  I am thankful that Heavenly Father plopped us girls together in our cute neighborhood.  Maybe before we came to earth we all requested to be together.  I'm sure we were friends before this life!  Good thing we have grown up together!  You have made me who I am! All of you have shaped me into who I am today...

JESSIE

 

Jessie,  You have made me brave!  You have shown me what it is to go after what you want and to not be afraid of what other people think.  You have gone some cool places and it has made me want to travel and to experience other cultures and ways of life!  You inspire me to educate myself! Whenever I go past Dick's Ace I think of the time that I choose out a cookies 'n' cream chocolate bar... Just because you did... I wanted to be like you! 

        

 Yummy!  Now I want some HERSHEY'S!  I love you Jessie! // 

BECCA

Becca, when I think of you, for some reason I picture you just GLOWING!  In my eyes... You Glow! :)  You are this light of joy and you just make me want to be a happier person.  I feel like we can relate a lot, except I'm a few years behind you!  When I get discouraged about my dating life or my education or trying to do well in music, I think of you and how amazing you are and I kinda feel more at peace and content with where I am at in life.  I hope that through my life I can take a piece of you with me, staying positive and happy and smiling and laughing and giggling and dancing and singing!  Just like you!

          

Thank goodness for skype!  I love seeing you and talking with you there!  Technology is amazing and I'm glad it helps us stay close!  P.S.  I have fun looking through your pictures on facebook!  It made me miss you very much though... Love you Becca!

EMI

  

Emi, Sorry you don't get a picture of you all by yourself!  But I actually had one of us!! he he First of all I want to speak for all of us girls when I say... THANK YOU FOR MOVING TO AMERICA! I am so thankful you came here, to Utah, to Centerville, to US! There is something about a cute little half Japanese girl that makes us all better somehow!  I feel a little more cultured from the time I've spend in your home.  Me and You growing up in the same grade together has been the greatest blessing of all time!  From you I take the courage of confidence in who I am, in my taller, less stylish self and in my music that I write.  I remember the first time I saw Children Of The North play... I just watched you and listened to you and just cried I was so proud of you! I still am!  Thanks for being there for me when my dad threw away all my build a bear stuff... right after we played! "Training Wheels!"

              

I can't believe our little Emi is getting married!  So happy for you!!  Love you!  Hugs and Kisses!

JALENE

  

Ne Ne,  From you I take with me a passion for nature and adventure.  Climbing trees together was not always a good idea but that orchard was our playground!  I love when you come over, even if it is so crystal can pluck a hair out of your armpit!  he he I am so thankful I got to grow up living next to you!  I can't believe we use to fit down your laundry shoot! Oh I just thought of something else I'll have because of you!  

   

look familiar?...  Who would have thought that a pizza could split open a persons toe! ;)

I love you ne ne!  I love that the scare on my foot reminds me of my favorite cousin!  I love that when you see me, you run and give me a big hug and jump on me!  I love when we can laugh together!  I love you forever and ever and ever!

CRYSTAL

 

Crystal,  Last the Best of all the Game!  Sorry everybody but Crystal kinda wins when it comes to affecting my life.  She held me when I was a baby!  Now maybe Jessie and Jalene did that as well but Crystal... You really are the worlds greatest big sister!  You have always made this path for me to follow and you were always the test drive of things so that when it was my turn to do something, like going to college, I could do it the best way the 1st time around!  You are so cute as a married lady :) he he putting your house together and  cooking new things and eating healthy and finding cute ideas for homemaking and being a mother someday!  I'm so excited to be an aunt someday and to be a mother and to raise our children together!  I love you sister!  Thanks for always being a good example to me!!

The greatest thing about life... is that it just keeps on going... and someday all of us will have children and when Christ comes again, maybe he won't see us first but he will see our children first... or our grandchildren!  Eventually we will each get a turn to be wrapped in his loving arms!  And when that happens I'll have to thank him for being there for me my entire life!  And I'll have to thank Heavenly Father for sending you girls to earth at the same time as me to help me through this difficult but amazing life!

I love you girls!!

Love, Camille
