Cousins

As an only child, I grew up with my cousins being like my brothers and sisters. I was very close to a great many of them. This blog is to honor my dear cousins who have provided me with a lot of love throughout my life! Without them, I would have been a lot more lonely growing up. Above is my sweet cousin Rachel who is 11 years younger than me, but despite the age different, we've been very close...she now is married and has a new baby girl! She is a sweetheart!




To the left is my cousin and one of my best friends in the world, Holly. We were as close as could possibly be while growing up. Holly is five years younger than me, but I was always a little young for my age and Holly was always a little older for her age, so we averaged out real nice! She is now married and has four beautiful children.
Above Holly and I is a picture of my wonderful cousin Jenny (in the orange shirt and sunglasses). There is a THIRTEEN year age difference between us, therefore, while we were very young we weren't that close, but we have made up for that now, because she is now not only a wonderful cousin, but a very dear friend as well. She is studying to be a firefighter and has the best boyfriend named Rick. I love my Jenny dearly!








To the left here is my cousin Cindi, and we grew up being very close friends and cousins. She always lived far away, but she would come out and visit us a lot during the summers and we just loved eachother so much and still do! She is a great gal and is only 2 years younger than me and has a great husband and four pretty little girls!
SO HERE'S TO COUSINS EVERYWHERE, YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a sweet family. I was raised as an only child since my brother was 15 years older than me and was out of the house and in the army but the time I was 3. Because of that I was very close to my cousins also. We were childhood best friends. They are all in different states now and we only keep in touch through christmas cards. I am glad that you have cousins near you and can enjoy them.
