My child defiantly created a positive web of support and love. My imediate family (mom, dad, sisters, and brothers) of course played huge parts in constructing my web, but my grandmother played a monumental part as well. 

My family and I have always had an extremely close relationship. 

       Dad was always extra involved with all of us as far as outdoor fun. He openned us up to the world of hunting, fishing and most importantly adventure. My dad was always support of my dreams and made sure to allow me to go beyond the normal and strive to be better than him.

       Mom is the one that taught me everything I know about design. She also showed me how to become and be an awesome mother and wife. My mom was extraordinarily supportive of my fashion career as well as my educational career.

       My oldest sister and I did not have a close relationship growing up, but she was still cared and made sure I was doing my best at everything I tried. Later in life we did get a lot closer, she was the one that assisted me in getting my educational career started.

       My oldest brother and I had a little close relationship, but not as close as I would have liked. He as well was always extremely loving and always came home to help me with sports and growing up. 

       The second oldest sister, my best friend, has defiantly influenced my childhood and adult life. She has always been that main back bone in everything adventure I have ever set my mind to. Regardless if I really had the abilities to succeed in my activity, she was always there to pat me on the back if I was successful and pick me up if I failed. She still is one of my biggest supporters.

        And finally, my younger brother; he has also been a huge part of that support system as well. We are 18 months apart and prettymuch grew up as twins. Him and I played cops and robberies, cowboys and indians, and loved to just be around and protect each other. As adults he is still like my twin, we do not live close anymore, but we still communicate regularly and continue to care, love and support each other.

       And one of my biggest and life-long influences in my childhood web was my grandmother. When my mom was not there (work) my grandmother would watch us . She taught me a lot just about life ingeneral. She was strict when she needed to be and extremely loving when necessary also. Anytime I had an issue in life I knew I could run to my grandmother and cry on her shoulder. My grandmother passed away in 2007 while I was in college. Her death was a huge plow to my life, but she still is a big influence.
