a beautiful family

 

my family had pictures taken a few weeks ago...  it was a really fun experience. which was kinda strange.  the last time we had family pictures taken me and my dad were fighting my whole family were fighting.  i am so proud of all the things my family has overcome! they truly are my best friends

we had our pictures taken by, Amy Dunn, a lady in our ward who is really really talented AND suuuper nice and fun. 

i think that i am most scared about leaving my family when it comes to the whole mission thing.  even though i live on my own they are my anchor and my reminder that i've always got a place to go if i need it.  my sisters are my best friends and are always on my side even if i was the one that was wrong (unless we are arguing about if they can borrow my clothes or not or chores).  i can't imagine what it'll be like to come home to a 10 year old ellen, or a graduated rylee, or a high school emma, and i'm not sure if the world could handle a more beautiful or grown up quinici.... it's just really a weird concept... but really exciting at the same time!
