Here is a little bio on my siblings

My oldest brother Saul. He was born in 1979 in Guadalajara. He is 12 years older than me.

He was the cool older brother that had a nice car, listened to crazy music, always bought the newest gadgets and never got into any trouble. He is my mom’s favorite and it’s completely understandable. He is so patient with our mother and never disrespects her. He never got a tattoo because he didn’t want her to be upset. That’s how much of a brown-noser he is.

When I was in middle school he had a jeep wrangler and he would pick me up from school in his jeep with out the top cover, blasting his rock music. My hair would flow through the air and I felt sooo cool. He would give me rides everywhere and pick up my friends and never complain! My own dad would charge me for gas money if he gave me a ride.

In August of 2010 he told me he was gay. I was the first person he told in our immediate family. I never would of thought he was gay. The couple years before he actually came out I noticed he was struggling. Maybe I was older and I actually paid attention but I remember it was a hard time for him.

Now he lives with his partner and he just bought a house in Henderson. He is still kind but he has really annoying habits. He shows up 1-2 hours early for everything. If I host a party and say 6pm, he shows up at 5pm. If a movie starts at 7:50pm he is at the theatre seated with his snack by 6:15pm. He shows up too early and then rushes everyone. He loves taking pictures and they’re usually of all of us eating or doing something where we look stupid and he keeps them forever and brings them out for show and tell when ever there’s a get together.

Next is my sister Adriana. We call her Ady for short. She was born in 1981 in Guadalajara. She is 10 years older than me.

She moved out when she was 15 with her hs lover and had her first son Issac, when she was 17. Then she had Erianna when she was 19. I was only 9 so I basically grew up with them and they never called me “Tia”. Then she had Emma, which was the first time I saw a live birth! And a few years later she had Ellaine. Her kids all call me Penny. I thought I would be a cool aunt to them but I am basically their second, cooler mom. I always said I loved them like they were my own children. Especially Emma & Ellie since I was older. Ady says I’ll love my own kids more. We’ll see.

She lived a rough life but she chose that because she was soooo “in love.” After 17 years with her hs sweet heart they got divorced during the time I got engaged. That was really tough. She spent most of her life living on her own and when she got divorced she moved in with us and we actually lived together for the first time since I was 5 years old!

I remember when I was little she would eat hot Cheetos and do crossword puzzles so I did that to. She had cute handwriting that I tried to copy also. My favorite thing to do was go visit her in her tiny ghetto apartment. Every time my parents annoyed me I would pack my bags & say I was moving in with my sister. I got my period for the first time in her apartment and she tried to give me a tampon but my mom said I would lose my virginity.

She got married to Jesus (now she copied me) in 2016 and he has 3 boys. So total 7 kids from ages 20 – 8. She is really good at toning out her kids. She literally doesn’t hear them screaming or crying. She is too free spirited. She recently got her first tattoo and got her nose pierced with her daughter. She’s super annoying and even though I can’t stand her we seem to talk every day. We call each other “sister”which was annoying until we heard Emma & Ellie call each other that.

A Annoying D Daring Y Youthful

Next is Michael. He was born in 1990 in California and we share the same dad. Saul and Ady share the same dad from my moms first marriage. Michael is something else. He is 1 year and 6 months older than me.

I love hearing my parents talk about how Michael was since birth. Just a fireball. He has a very strong personality. He is super smart and can do math problems in his head which I can’t even do on paper. He has always had a lot of friends and been into different things. I hated how much liberty my parents gave him and I could never go or do what he did because I was a girl. I wished I was a boy to hang out with him all the time. He always had fun.

He dressed as a gangster at one point, then was a skater and bleached his hair, then he was a tagger (he went to juvy for tagging) then he was a racer, then he was a pretty boy. He is just a wild child. He likes to argue, fight and drink. But peel back a couple layers and he is the most emotional guy. He cried the whole day of my wedding. First because he was drunk and second because he was so happy for me. He has never said 1 ill word about my husband which is weird. He shows love in odd ways like telling his siblings how ugly we are.

Right now he is working in a construction company which has him traveling throughout the U.S. He likes that hard physical labor and I am sure he is good at it. He has been away from home for a few months which sucks because I don’t see him as often but I also sleep better knowing he isn’t in Vegas partying and going crazy. Sometimes I feel like Michael is my younger brother just because of the way he acts and how much I worry for him and try to take care of him. He has done it all and survived it all.

These are my 3 siblings. If I refer to them in another post, now you’ll have some background on them. I am the baby of the family and if you ask each one of my siblings they’ll tell you I’m their favorite.
