Siblings

I'm the oldest out of seven of us; Me, Scotty, Leslie, Tom, Emily, Stephen and Phillip. Their is a ten year gap between the oldest and youngest. We were all born in Northern Indiana and the twins(Stephen and Phillip) were the only one's born in a hospital. My mom had a midwife for everyone else. I would say that the first 13 years of my life were the simplest. We lived in a lot of different houses, but the most memorable one was on a pig farm. We had a lot of land, which allowed us to be creative when playing. I can vividly remember the time I hated being the oldest(around my middle school years) so I attempted to spend a lot of time with friends. I really started to appreciate my role as a big sister towards the end of High School and when I moved on to college. We are very unique in our own ways. Neither one of us are alike, and after you get to know us you can guess what characteristics we took from our parents. I love my brothers and sisters very much and no matter where we are in our lives we will always have eachother. The other cool thing about my life is that I have two sets of parents as well as two step-brothers; Avery and Andrew. My parents divorced when I was 15 years old. My dad met Nina and then my mom met Tim and they all got married in 2001. It's different being the oldest of so many kids because what I experienced growing up is very different then what my twin brothers experienced.
