My Family

Today I thought I would write a little bit about my family. I've been thinking about them a lot because Monday (the 17th) was my little sister's birthday and tomorrow is my other younger sister's birthday. So I guess today I'll focus this blog on them.

Stephanie will be twenty tomorrow and she's the sister right under me. She's going to the community college by our house (Go Tomball!!) and is doing extremely well, hey, what else would you expect from a Shenk? She's involved in the leadership at Tomball and even works there as well. Poor Steph, she's up there waaay too much. :) Steph is going to major in Education/English and she wants to be a high school English teacher. I think she'll do very well in that and will be very popular. Stephanie also has a wonderful boyfriend named Robbie who is in the Air Force and all of our family loves him, he's really a great guy. Lessee, what else...she loves to read and loves bright colors and looks cute wearing them. I'm sure there's much more I could write about her but I will keep it at this, I don't want to embarrass her too much. :) But I love her very much and I'm so proud of all that she's accomplished. Happy Birthday!!!!

Amy was sixteen on Monday and I simply cannot believe that! She's the baby girl of our family and will always be our little puke (SP? It means "bellybutton" in Maori). HAhhaha, poor Ames, she'll never grow out of that one!! Amy is excelling in her classes this year and is developing an interest in kineseology which is what she'll probably pursue in college. She's a great driver and will probably get her license soon. Amy has also been saving for more than a year to buy her own horse and she has very nearly accomplished that! Hopefully she will be able to gain ownership of a tall, dark, and handsome horse named Dan. She loves to ride barrels and is really getting very good at that. Well, once again, there's more I could write but I don't want to go on too much. :) Amy i is now about an inch and a half taller than me and calls me "little brown monkey" but she will always be my little pet. I love you girlie, Happy Birthday!!!

I'll write more about all the rest of my family. As I have one other sister and three brothers this blog would take on immense proportions if I wrote about everyone one of them. That will just have to wait. For now you will have to settle with the little bios of these two sweet girls and a couple of pictures.
