all i needed

Seeing my mom and younger sister was the exact thing I needed to get me over the hump that has had me trapped in my very own personal ditch. And let me tell you my ditch was deep, dark and damp no place that a young lady wants to be spending her time at the most exciting and adventurous time of her life.  I have built myself a latter now and have begun the slow process of getting out.
My mother is the funniest person I know, I would like to think I get the majority of my humor from her and my "social butterfly-ness" from my father.  Oh yes I am the girl striking up conversations with the cashier at the local Safeway! Thanks Dad! Back to my gorgeous mother, she is strong and passionate about life and I only hope to at least half the human being she is.  Love you mom.  Or Meammm.  And my sweet teenager of a sister, who is so in high school.  The maturity level is absolutely ridiculous that I had a hard time keeping a conversation with her, but what laughs she brings.  Miss her so much, she is growing into such an amazing young lady and I not around to witness it everyday.
Having struggled so badly with homesickness last year I was under the impression that it was out of my system, little did I know that it will probably never fully go away just become less often and less painful.  My family is my rock, they are my tribe.  I am so grateful to know that at such an early age.  Not many people ever understand that but I have and know that I need to see them more often then every three to four months.  That is too long!  So if you are my family, and have some extra cash lying around please do purchase yourself a ticket to Spokane or any of the fabulous towns that my team plays in and come see me because God knows you need a little vacation but more selfishly I need my people.

Here are some pictures of the year so far.  Of me being me for once in my life in front of people who are "my people", mushroom hair cut and all! Waiting for my hair to grow out!

This is Mere the Bear signing out and saying it really hard growing up! That wasn't in the instruction manual.  Love to all.
