This is a thank you to the best family in the world. Family comes in many shapes and forms. I was blessed with the best parents and siblings who are some of my best friends. Growing up, we didn’t have much, but I think that is what made us so close now. As the years went on, our family slowly grew. I know that I would never be where I am without them.

Thank you to the best parents. They have always have been so supportive of me. Not once have I ever felt unloved. They helped me in more ways than one. Thank you for always telling me to follow my dreams. Thank you for always being there to talk to. I always knew that if I had any problem that I could talk to the two of you. Mom, thanks for always encouraging to be my best. You are always down to have a good time. Dad, thanks for teaching me a love of sports, and making me watch Westerns with you. I do not know anyone other than you who knows John Wayne quotes.

Thank you to my brother and sister. You two are seriously my best friends. Y’all support me like no one else. Y’all are always down to have fun. Alex, you have always been so protective of me. You have been one of my biggest fans. I am so proud of the person you have become. Now you are married and you have a baby. I am so thankful that I have Caty as a sister as well. Caty, thanks for loving my brother like you do. I am so thankful you guys met and that I now have a beautiful niece. Austynn is one of the best parts of this family.

Finally, Katie, my sister, my partner in crime, I am not sure what my life would be without you. You are my best friend. I am so thankful that we shared a room for the first 16 years of our lives. You are the person I laugh with, cry with and share secrets with. Thank you for always telling me how it is. You deserve the world.

Thank you to the best family in the world. You guys are the best part of me and I am forever thankful.
