My Family

In my immediate family, I have my mom and dad and two younger brothers. I love all of them very much. They get on my nerves a lot, but I still love them all. My parents divorced when I was going into sixth grade; this makes my family not like a typical family. It used to really bother me, but as I have gotten older it has become a normality in my life.

My moms name is Rolinda Lois Bowman. She has a very not typical name. My grandparents did not know what to name her so they combined both of their names. My grandfathers name is Ronald Travis Simmons and he goes by Travis. My grandmothers name was Linda Lois Simmons. They took the Ro from Ronald and put it with Linda to get Rolinda. There are only about ten people in this world that have my moms name or a variation of that name, which is pretty cool. My mom is also 47 and will be 48 in April. My mom has live in my hometown her entire life.

My dad's name is James Lyn Bowman. He is also 47 and will be 48 in May. He has lived all over the United States until he was about 20 when he settled down with my mom. My dad has always been there for me when it comes to things like sports and figuring out what I want to do with going to college to play soccer. I will always cherish everything he has done for me in regards to athletics. He has pushed me to be the best and always want the best for myself.

The oldest of my two younger brothers is 15. His name is Seth. I did not like it when he was born. My mom woulds me stories of how I through hissy fits whenever they would talk about the new baby coming. He will be 16 and March and that scares me because that means he will start driving. I can't believe how old he is getting.

The youngest one is 13. His name is Sage. My whole family calls him Peanut. We call him that because he was the smallest out of all three of us kids when he was born.
