I Am From Field Hockey and Rainbow Cupcakes
I am from a family of five with cousins on one side
I am from 10 grandchildren total and me being the fourth oldest and the oldest girl cousin
I am from family gatherings and brothers with video game addictions
I am from night swimming with my brothers and pool lights with mom and dad chatting on the pool deck
I am from a yard with grass that needs to be cut, baseballs, softballs, lacrosse helmets, soccer nets and field hockey sticks
I am from messy rooms
I am from grandfathers that I wish were here today
I am from Christmas dinners, gingerbread house contests and that yucky bread
I am from Thanksgiving noise, Easter egg hunts, the annual “Twas the Night before Christmas” reading and campfires
I am from a smart computer engineer and a caring nurse-to-be
