My family consists of five people. There is my mom, Gayle, who is a talented artist, taxi driver (for us!), cook, launderer..(is that a word?), advisor, and friend all in one. Plus lots more! Then there is my dad, Larry, who is just a big kid. When he isn't at work making money, he is at home acting like a kid! Don't get me wrong, he can act like an adult, and does sometimes... (I should know!) just not very often. He actually got me hooked on the Star Trek Voyager series, believe it or not.

Next comes Morgan, my older sister. Morgan is 22 years old, and I think she takes after my dad, cause she hardly ever acts her age. Most of the time that is a good thing though. She quit her job at Faith Academy Early Learning Center... in other words, the daycare, and is now working at First Capital Bank. She even received a promotion to full-time after being there only about 2 months. She was attending classes at Victoria College, to major in business, but is now taking a break to just work for a year. When she is not working, or being a leader for Crossfire (she is over the kitchen), she spends most of her free time with her boyfriend of almost four years, Will Matula. We are hoping they will get married within the next two years or so.

Jarrod would be last (cept for me!), and he is 20 years old. Jarrod graduated in 2001 from Memorial, and took classes at Victoria College last year. This year though, he made the decision to be in Master's Commission. MC is a nine month program where he has been learning how to do school assemblies, preach, witness, and so much more. He lives with the other 4 guys that are in the program, and even though it isn't always easy, they all seem to be happy they did it. They do have some pretty strict rules, but all for a good cause, like they don't date, they have a curfew, they don't have jobs...and they don't talk on the phone with the opposite sex for more than say 5 minutes. I have really seen Jarrod change, and we are all proud of him.

More Later! (I also plan to get pics of them up a.s.a.p.!)

The Boyd family on vacation. Here we are in New Mexico, hiking on a mountain...well, actually, takin a picture break.
