On the outside, my family is just a regular Wisconsin family. We love cheese, we watch Badger games, and Lambeau field can be considered one of the most amazing places in this country. On the inside, my family has gone through stress, loss, and many other life experiences. That's why I want to say thank you to them to show how much I truly appreciate them.

Thank you to my brother. Thank you for being the funny, light-hearted kid that you are. You're amazing at everything you do, I know sometimes that I can get super jealous about it but really you're so talented and it makes me so proud to be your sister. Thank you for making me laugh so hard that my stomach hurts. Thank you for always asking me questions about life experiences that I've always gone through. I'm extremely lucky to have a little brother like you. You've grown up to be such an amazing, caring, and lovable person. You've become one of my best friends and I cannot wait to see what happens for you in the future.

Thank you to my father. You are one of the most hardworking person I've ever known. I know how much work sucks without grandpa, but you still continue to do it. Thank you for being the most generous and caring person. You provide for my brother, mother, and I and you still would give anything to help someone else out. Thank you for always being my partner in crime when we can pick on mom together, but also thank you for laughing at the jokes that we throw at you too.

Thank you to my mother. Thank you for always listening to me when I finally break down and cry. Thank you for taking me shopping countless times and paying for all my stuff because I "forgot my wallet." Thank you for answering the phone whenever I call you because I lost my car and needed to look like I knew what was happening. Thank you for being the person I vent to and confide in. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you to talk too at times. I'm lucky to call you my mother because you accept me for who I am and whatever I'll end up doing in life.

My family is my everything, they are three amazing people that I'm truly appreciative to have in my life. They are accepting, loving, caring, funny and many many more things. Everything I do in life is to make my family proud because that's what they deserve. I love you guys.
