The Wood Gals :)

I think that it is interesting how, as a family, we grow and become closer by the activities, tragedies, laughter and fantastical times we encounter. For instance, the majority of Benjamin and Becky’s vacation here in North Carolina was full of fun and laughter, but I also cried harder and longer with Becky, than I ever have in front of anyone else, and although the circumstances of the crying still suck, I feel that it brought us so much closer. One of my favorite things about Becky is our “woodette-code” or “sister-code”. It goes without saying the “sister-code” is a code of secrecy and I know no matter what I say or how honest I am, Becky is never going to judge or hate me, which is the best feeling in the world and i would go as far to say she is the only person i feel this with(well Lauren too.). I cant think of any other person that has gone through things Becky has gone through and who still has such a strong faith in God and in people. As much as it amazes me I still find it incomprehensible. anyways Becky I love you and am so lucky that you are apart of our family and my life :)

Another person i am so greatful for in sad times is Smelly, or as many others know her, Abbey, my baby sister. Through this past week she was everything a pain, adorable, annoying, funny, comforting, etc. When my "crapppppy" situation happened abbey did everythingg she could to make me happy, rubbed lotion on my arms because it "makes you feel good", she brought me diet cokes, she even crawled into bed to rub my back when i could hardly move, even had a good attitude about all the pranks!! I realize she is only 11 and cant really understand the exact things i am going through but everything she did and said was so perfect and really did make me so much more happy. Another attribute of Smelly that i love is her candidness. My dad always said think before you speak, well that life-lesson is beyond Smelly, she says what the truth even if its not what you want to hear. She is so honest and the most hysterical child i have ever encountered. I cant wait for her to grow up and get in a crappy situation so i can crawl in her bed and rub her back! :) Love you Smelly.

The last but certainly not least Wood is the WOMAN, or my mom! The only people who read this silly blog know we never got along until i moved out of the house...and thank God i did! I have never been happier with the status of our relationship as i am now. She goes above and beyond to make me happy (PM medicine to knock me out...amen to that!) but just little things she does, like bake my 4Th of July cake and breakfast casserole or scratch my back when I'm pathetically crying on the bathroom floor ha ha :D... overall i think that it is just comforting to know that my mother truly does love me and want the best for me. I think it is comforting that she knows i will make mistakes and will be a crazy indecisive child, but she still loves and supports my every decision. Love ya mama!

All in all i think its needless to say I love the wood gals :)
