Freshman Homecoming
Sorry it's been a couple of days. I've actually been having a good few days. Kate's freshman homecoming was on Saturday so I helped her get ready. Here are some photos!

Second Attempt
I know that this blog is supposed to be every day but I've been going through some things lately that have been bringing me pretty down & unable to follow-through with things. I would like to try to start up again but I request some patience and support from my readers (that's you!).
Thank you all.
So yesterday, October 2nd, I went shopping with my mom & 1 of my sisters to find a Freshman Homecoming dress for this upcoming Saturday. She tried on a few dresses and I brought my camera (2 weren't even photo worthy) just in case we needed to go to different stores & needed to refer back to some.
Overall, I think we all had a lot of fun. It was nice having a girl's day with my mom & one of my sisters and we had an opportunity to chat and eat an Auntie Anne's pretzel! YUM!!
It was pretty fun! I tried to stay focused and grounded in the present and just be a little silly. It worked! I laughed and made my mom laugh and shake her head.
I'll be sure and take some photos of the finished product (hair, makeup and everything else) on Homecoming night! Kate has asked me to do her nails! :)
I hope you enjoyed this edition of Love Every Day. I'm going to try and keep up with it. Hopefully, it will help me out of this funk.
Thank you all.

| This one was okay but not quite right. |

| I don't understand the zebra print but this one was not very good. |

| The dress that looked great on the hanger but hung lifeless on someone with curves. |

| The PERFECT dress! |

Siblings
I've finally gotten my 14 year-old sister's school photograph for this year. She's in 8th grade & is smart, funny, kind and beautiful! She's also kind of hormonal but we love her!!! She enjoys movies and reading and has invited herself over for an extended sleepover this summer.
I've had my 12 year-old sister's photo since the fall. She's in 6th grade and loves music. She sang "Baby" by Justin Bieber at karaoke and sang it really well! She's got such a great voice & can play piano & guitar & even plays percussion at school. She's also funny and pretty and has such a unique style.
Beyond the two of them, I have quite a few other siblings.
My step-brother Jeff & I don't talk much but have been getting along very well for years. He just got a new job at a fire department & is very excited about his opportunity.
Of course, this is where you're expecting a photo of him & I cannot for the life of me find any photos... Wait! Here's one!!
Amy is 23 and has been with her boyfriend for a few years now. She works hard and plays hard and helps the family a LOT. We don't always get along (including right now) but I love her and always will.
Dani is my step-sister and is 21 years old. She & her boyfriend have also been together for quite a few years and have been living together for at least the last year & a half or so (probably longer). She is extremely unique and gifted and while she struggles with her complicated past, is working very hard to make a great future for herself. She is a nanny and is working on running her own business and may be attending school sometime soon.
Daniel just turned 21 (see yesterday's post on my personal blog) and has a full-time job and a part-time job and is trying to finish school. He loves playing video games and hanging out doing nothing. With so many differences, I'm surprised when I find myself thinking about how alike we are.
Emily is a beautiful, funny, bright, fantastic young woman. She's 19 and working her way through community college right now. She's very mature and has a very promising future.
I've already talked about Kate & Rebecca who are the next in the age sequence. They live with my mother and are both doing VERY well in school!

I also have a few siblings that I don't see much (well, at all, really) that live with my father. Even though I don't spend time with them, I love them and am working with my father & step-mother to mend the past and have a future relationship for all of us. Amanda, Shannon and James are much younger than my other siblings and when I see them it brings a smile to my face. It's really cool to see how much you can love your siblings even when you don't even know them.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Share it with your friends and family and remember to tell your siblings that even when you're angry, you still love them. I need to do that too.
