´Families are the compassesthat guide us. They are theinspiration to reach great
heights, and our comfort whenwe occasionally falter.µ
~ Brad Henry
From The BeginningMy family began when my mother and
father got married on March 21st, 1992.
They moved into a tiny white home and 3
years later, I was born. My parents only
stayed in that white house for 18 months,
and then they moved to a bigger, log cabin
home. My parents wanted to have a second
child but it took a while. They eventually
had my sister in 2002. About 4 years ago,
we moved into the house right next door to
our log cabin home because it had more
space and was for sale at a good price.
Present Day
Words can¶t describe how crazy my family is, but I love them! We live in Albemarle and my
parents have lived here all of their life. We areactive members at Central United Methodist
Church. We love going out to eat together atMazatlan and we try to have many home
cooked family meals also. We have two dogs:The first dog we got is named Gus. He is a dachshund beagle mix. We adopted him fromthe Animal Rescue League a couple years ago.
The second dog was given to me for my 14th birthday, and her name is Cocoa. She is a
terrier mix and she was the runt of the litter sowhen I got her she only weighed 8 ounces.

My sister was born on January 23rd
, 2002. My
mother found out that she was expecting a girl
on the devastating day of September 11th
,
2001. She was named after my mom¶s first
bottle of perfume, Lauryn. Her full name is
Lauryn Elizabeth Hopkins. She was born 7
years after me. When she was born, she had jet black, thick hair. She still has thick hair but
the color changed to a brown. Lauryn has blue
eyes and is average height for her age. She
goes to East Albemarle Elementary School and
she is in the 4th
grade. This is her second year
being on the East Albemarle Bullpup Pounders
Jump Rope Team. She is following in my past
footsteps, by being on the jump rope team.
Lauryn says that she is going to go to Gray
Stone Day School like me.
She loves riding her bike up and down our
street with the other kids her age that also live
on the same street. She and my dad LOVE
watching WWE and Raw together on Monday
nights. Her best subject in school is reading
and she hates math. She also likes to jam out
to Justin Bieber, in my car unfortunately.
Lauryn can be pretty hilarious and we like to
hang out with each other. She may be a brat
sometimes but I still love her with all of my
heart.

in a chaotic world simply by
being there for each other.µ
