3. Describe your relationship with your parents.

By -

Again, I've done something like this before...

None the less, it's due time for a second one... My relationship with my parents? Is everything I have hoped for, It is everything I have ever imagined and more. My parents have raised me with the intentions of me being much more humble and quiet than I actually am. I am their extrovert and they love it. My parents love my passion to be a brighter force in this world and leave it with one more light shining when mine fades. My parents and I talk about anything and everything, and if you ask my father… I talk way more than I should… but he loves me.  My parents have not only done a great job to show me what it takes to hold a family together in times of grief and frustration. Though they’ve shown me how to have passion and compassion for others and family. My parents taught me how to spend wisely, how to be a giver, how to learn god’s words and his promises for my life, how to appreciate friends, how to use my manners,  etiquette life classes, how to be courteous but not be walked all over, how to respect adults but remember when I become one. I have been trained by the finest of teachers. My parents are beautiful people. I mean look at them! That’s what a teenage dream looks like Katy Perry! I would love for Drew and I to aspire for a love like theirs.  Modestly accepting that in time, we’ll create our own love story, it’s awesome bouncing off ideas and questions with my parents, because they’ve written the rulebook for us. I, think that’s as amazing as they are.

Your ninth birthday

  Audrey, Audrey, Audrey. You are hilarious, beautiful, witty, intelligent, and passionate. You are so much fun. Today you’re 9 years old. A coworker stopped me and said, “I’m so happy you’ll spend the day with her tomorrow because when she’s 18, she won’t want to spend her whole birthday with you.” And that’s so true. I’ll have to share my time. This is your last single-digit birthday. You lost a tooth this week, and it wasn’t even a big conversation. You just lost it. When it comes to looks, Utah gave you freckles—they’re all over. Your eyes are still a hazy green, and your golden locks are growing browner by the day. You still have beautiful streaks of blonde, and I love them. You’re very tall but still in a booster seat. Maybe you’ll outgrow it by 10. I’m proud of you for letting me keep you safe. You started 3rd grade at an incredibly conservative Christian school that didn’t require anyone to follow biblical values except you—so we left. You joined your first charter school, ...

  Bryer boy, Bryer boy. I cannot believe you are two. I will never forget the night I went into labor with you. I went to the hospital around 10 or 11 o’clock at night on the 23rd. I remember thinking, I can’t believe he’s doing this to me. Your dad said you could come any day, and of course, you chose a day that will forever confuse me when it comes to your birthday and your actual birth date. But that’s just like you, full of surprises. And in these last 365 days, you’ve continued to surprise me in the best ways. I’m not shocked one bit. You are everything I didn’t know I needed, and someone I absolutely adore. You are completely obsessed with both of your parents. Audrey? That love is a little more conditional, but you love your whole family big: extended, chosen, and blood-related. You love to play and will play with anyone willing to join you. You spent most of the year reading books. Your favorite was Penelope on the Farm, a hand-me-down from your cousins Nick and Rylee. You ...

Your eighth birthday

  Audrey Kaydence. Today you are 8 years old. Holy cow kid. You made it to 8. Time goes faster than what I would deem appropriate but all in all you have had quite some LIFE in your years. Let’s recap the last year shall we?  You switched schools in February, which was a challenging decision, but a good one you were at a much smaller school now with a much smaller network of friends and it is healthier for you.  Your blonde hair is still blonde and your eyes are still this gray blue green. They change all the time primarily gray and green sometimes blue and green still very light still very curly. You have more freckles now than you ever have before and I am admiring watching your face with glasses as I know that contacts are coming soon to help with your myopia. You will always be my baby. I am excited to watch you grow up. You got to go to your first concert this year it almost became your entire personality. You have been a Taylor Swift fan since you were about two yea...
