Where I'm From

February 5, 2015

I am from a family who has no limits
who is outdoors either playing sports or making a bonfire
who attends Brewer baseball games and tailgates in the parking lot with fellow fans
who two out of three times hurts themselves, but never breaks any bones

I am from “Each minute you’re late is the amount of days you’re grounded”
“Always put in your best effort, even if it wasn’t the best you still tried your best”
“You’re a** is gonna be grass”
“Suck it up buttercup”

I am from Ashley, Tyler, Grace, Sam, Taylor, Taylor, Star, Tim

I am from a bathroom shared by four people with two children, a mom, and a dad
a chaotic house with two dogs and two cats, with the dogs chasing the cats around the furniture
couches covered in blankets and clothes that were used through the day

I am from family game night with Monopoly, Connect 4, and Sorry
family movie night with childhood movies, to disney movies, and the occasional comedy
sharing family time outside, talking about our day, playing family games, filled with laughter

I am from Bre, Bre Bre, Breanna, Princess, Sweet Pea, Little girl

I am from volleyball games at Stone Bank School in 5th grade
basketball games with going from my games right to work for a few hours
baseball games going back and forth from my games and my brothers games
firefighter events with traveling around the state doing water fights with the department

I am from weekend barbecues at my grandpas house in Delafield
family lunches with our neighbors split between our two backyards
swimming in the pool with 6 kids laughing until the sunsets in the West
going on adventures in the Chevy truck, driving for hours and ending up in the middle of Wisconsin

I am from long brown hair that went half-way down my back
from not being scared to get dirty, hunting with the guys, and not worrying about my nails breaking
I’d much rather be outside relaxing than inside relaxing
