Sibling Loving.

So I was talking with Jeff the other day and for some reason I randomly just started talking about my family and the things I love about each and every one of them. I think with the knowledge that Cec is going to be heading off to college and our family is going to change has really got me going. I know that change is inevitable in life but it is hard to face. I will admit that I was too scared to leave for college. I was scared to be the change in the family. I was scared of missing out on their lives. Scared of not being with the people I love, and I know love me, every day. Scared of life. I'm grateful for Cec's example and for her courage to do the inevitable. She truly is amazing.

With that I just would like to brag for a second about how awesome my family is, starting with the youngest for once...

Sydnee Tierra Horlacher

Syd is sweet. She will do anything that anyone asks her. I'm always amazed when I ask her to get me a glass or chocolate milk, or turn off a light, or get me a blanket, anything, she will always do it. I admit that sometimes I will purposely ask to see if she will tell me no, but she always does it. I love how she always asks me to pick out an outfit for her and she won't let me go until I have everything set out from her shoes to her accessories. I love the random girls nights we have where I take her out on dates and pay for everything and teach her date etiquette and try to teach her how to answer questions. (She has the tendency to say "I don't know" to any question asked, haha.) She really looks up to her older brother and sisters and always gets excited when people tell her she looks like Cecilee's twin. She is boy crazy. Loves her ipod. Paints her nails all the time. Loves borrowing my clothes. Is admired by her friends. Is an awesome cheerleader and soccer player. She's fun to be around. Laughs at everything I say (she makes me feel funny and I love it.) Is always easy going. Loves any kind of food. And is beautiful inside and out, I love you Syd!

Trevor Richard Horlacher

Trev is humbly awesome. This kid is hilarious. I will always remember he had a school assignment where he had to relate each family member to an animal and state why they were that animal. It melted my heart because he said, "Cambria is like a puppy, because she is fun and playful but she can be your best friend too." Is that not the sweetest thing ever?  He truly is one of my best friends. Another story, when Paula (my best friend/foreign exchange student from Brazil) went home I had to go to girls state the week she left so I said my goodbyes a week early. When I got home I wasn't prepared to see all her stuff gone. I walked up to my room, glanced at the corner where all her clothes had been and started bawling. I came downstairs and was laying on the couch, curled up in a ball crying when I see my little brother walk back in and sit on the couch next to me. Next thing I know he's changing the channel to the show I like, he goes and grabs a blanket for me and a cup of milk with a roll of oreos. He then sat down and watched the show and ate oreos with me. That just warmed my heart but made me cry even more to see how much he loved me. This kid is hilarious. He loves to tell jokes. He loves all animals. He's athletic. He's terrified of girls. He loves loud music. Loves oreos. Leaves a mess everywhere he goes. He loves to have adventures with Navy, and they do some pretty crazy things. Not to mention he's handsome. But the best thing is his big heart. I love you Trev!

Cecilee Ah Quin Horlacher

 My Cec-so-sweet. Cec is truly one of my very best friends. We are 13 months apart and have been attached by the hip from the day she was born. Cec is strong, both physically and spiritually. She's super sassy. But also the sweetest person you will ever know. She will do anything for you. She is fun. She is athletic. She is naturally good at everything she does. She is absolutely gorgeous. Me and Cec have so many funny memories. We just always have fun. Whether it's trying to sing along to a cat commercial, fathers day shopping in Big Lots for 2 hours with a guy creepin' the whole time, pretending mom's spankings hurt then laughing in our room about it, drifting the van on accident, getting our car stuck in a corner of a parking lot and needing someone to drive it out for us, playing weird leg war games, pretending to clean our room, watching White Chicks and quoting every line, anything! But along with fun, she is always there to pick me up when I'm sad or give me a hug when I need one. She is one of the most understanding and forgiving people you will ever meet. She is always willing to give her opinion with confidence. She is a hard worker. This girl is amazing!! It's going to be hard not having her home when she goes off to college but I'm proud of her. Even though we both are workaholics but the time that we do get to spend together is always amazing. I love my sister and I am so proud of her. I'm proud to call her my sister and my best friend! You're gonna have a blast in Kansas, and everyone is going to love you, BUT remember..."There's no place like home." I love you Cec!

Stay tuned for my parents and how amazing they are! :) But for now, have a wonderful day! Tell your family you love them...
