I have a mother, a father, a little sister, four foster brothers, a dog, a cat, and a whole bunch of fish.

Starting out with my parents, their names are Jeff and Diane. They are 45 years old and were married in 1980.

I'm the oldest (real) child in my family at the age of 15.

Next came my dog that we got when I was 18 months old. His name is Gus. Unfortunatley, we had to put him to sleep over Presidents Day weekend in 2000. He was half black lab, and half golden retriever.

My little sister's name is Kelsey. She's goes to Parkside as a 6th grader and is 12 years old.

I honestly don't know if my cat, or my first foster brother came next. But I'll talk about my cat first. His name is Soot, I'm not sure of his breed. He sprayed, and we couldn't find a "cure" so he lives on a farm with one of my mom's friends.

My first foster brother's name is Mark, he is 21 or 22 right now, and as much as I hate to admit it, he's a moron, and is in jail for a second time.

Next came Cody and Jeff, but they didn't stay with us long enough to really matter.

Then was Glenn. He's 18 or 19, and was just excepted into the Army. I consider both him and Mark my brother's.
