The Family

This is the FAMILY. We are no where near perfect. There's a quote that describes us perfectly, "Home is where we are loved the most and act the worst". I have found this to be so true in my life. We fight... a lot... but we are fiercely loyal to each other and we'd gladly stand up to anyone to defend each other. We are a little dysfunctional but I can't imagine it being any different or more wonderful. When there is peace I realize why this family has worked this long. My family means the absolute world to me so I thought I'd go through and tell you a bit about them because they are worth knowing about!

This is Larry Glen... and Zip. I think this picture kind of demonstrates how my dad is when no one is looking. He's a tough as nails, stubborn as a mule, rancher/trucker. He loves snowmachines, hunting, fishing, and being outside in general. He's happiest the entire month of October when he's hiding up in the mountains in his really nice camper. My dad is a really hard worker and has been his whole life. He's a sucker for a good deal and he also respects other people who are willing to do things for him. I would say the love of his life should be my mom, but everyone in our family knows that the love of his life is his dog Zip! He treats her like a human and would do anything for that little fat tank of a dog.

This beautiful lady is my mother! Alison is the sweetest, most wonderful lady... just ask anyone! I think it's impossible for people not to love her. She's always been so willing to do anything for anyone and she has supported me so much in my life. She's a tender heart who has been the glue and has held our family together through thick and thin. She is the greatest example of being Christ-like that I know. My mom loves things like reading and gardening and lately she's been quite the quilter.

Tracy Glen is the patient one. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of my oldest brother. He has always been the peacemaker no matter what. He has stopped Wade and I from fighting and stringing each other's guts from the rooftops SO many times. Tracy tends to go with the flow of things and when things go wrong in his life he bounces back better than most people. He has a worrier streak but he's always the one who's up for something fun. He loves fishing, hunting, snowmobiles and dirtbikes. A little known fact is that he can play the trumpet. He fights wild fires and sometimes I think he'd be an awesome hermit in Alaska somewhere. 

This is Larry Wade. We have fought like cats and dogs since the day I was born and he looked at me and growled. Wade has a really big heart and a way with people that I guess I must be missing. He is well known for the fact that he can make anyone laugh. Wade has always been the type to tinker on anything with a motor and make broken things work again. He is the cowboy of the family and wore a cowboy hat to school in kindergarten every single day. Wade loves horses and ranch roping. He's probably the biggest example of a country boy that the world has ever known.
