Day 2: Coping with brothers and sisters

I have three siblings, and I love them all so much. Sometimes TOO much.

Cayden is the baby of our family. He turns 14 this summer. We're 14 years apart and people always think we must have different parents, but we don't. He was just a surprise. I remember exactly what I was doing when my mom told us she was having another baby -- my brother, Tyson, and I were playing Super Mario on the Nintendo and eating our cereal from Santa during Christmas Break. Since he's so young, he's the only one who stills lives at home, which must really suck.

My beautiful sister, Devyn, is almost 21. I can't wait for her to final be legal! We're planning her 21st birthday party in Vegas this fall. She is almost done with her bachelor's degree and will be going to grad school to study Occupational Therapy. She's also an amazing artist and a singer. I'm so proud of her for all her accomplishments! She has been living with me and Joe for the past few months. It's crowded in our small apartment, but I love having her here.

Second after me comes Tyson, my 24-year-old brother. I don't really know what he's up to these days because we have lots of conflict and haven't spoken to each other in a year. He tends to make bad choices in life and gets mad when I call him out on his shit and expect more from him. I hope he's doing well. I was sad that we couldn't hang out together on his birthday a few days ago. I love and miss you, Tys.
