#12 My Dad

He's my dad. No one laughs harder at his own jokes than himself. No one makes better cinnamon rolls in the world. I love the stuffing out of him.

#11 My Brother Sawyer

aka Sodi
aka Soy
aka Chowder

Even though we are 18 years apart- I feel more like a sister to him than a mom.


He is the bestest and turning into quite the young man now. And has the greatest sense of humor...when he was about 5 he scribbled something on a piece of paper and asked me to come read it (because he couldn't) I walked over and saw that it was his name written down- but before I could even see it coming I WAS PANTSED! The great hoodwink! I heart him.

#10 My Brother, Elder Cody Mack

My brother Elder Cody Mack is serving as a missonary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I am grateful for him, and his committments to those things he believes are true.

Its is so crazy to see what a wonderful young man he has grown into.

Love you Cody!

#9 The Ocean

A straight up necessity of my life.

I will never live in a landlocked state. Ever.

# 8 SUBLIME

The music that defined my adolescence.

The sound that I will never be sick of hearing.

They are my damn band.

One love Bradley!

#7 Block Island

Block Island, Rhode Island is the most beautiful place on earth...I don't even care that I haven't seen a lot of this earth and make that distiction.

Its where I *grew* up each summer, where every memory of it is GOOD, where the air feels cleaner and my life feels blessed when I am there.

Its were I started my new family with Brandino, and shared it with people that I love dearly.

Keep a candle in the window for me Block Island.....I will come home soon.

# 6 The Quinnipiac River

I am surprised by its effect on my mood every single time I look out of my windows.

It is my backyard...and I love it.
