Elizabeth Marisa's Diary entry.
Dearest diary,
Yesterday was Lexie, and Ellis' 21st birthday and we had fun. I got to spend time with Roger Williams who is my brother in law who actually doesn't seem like an in law because he's like a brother. My brother's Bailey, Luke, and Tyler are cool but not as cool as Roger. Fred is okay but I don't know if I really like him. Although I don't really know my sister Zola that much because she is 19 years older than I am I still try to find things that are interesting about her. I know I have more in common with Carrie, and Caroline because they are close in age with Tyler and I.
This morning I became and aunt to Madeline Rene Riggs Shepherd, Luke Mark Shepherd Williams, Leia Katelyn Shepherd Williams, and Gail Maria Shepherd Williams. I love them so much I didn't even care about Christmas because the most important thing to me is my family. I love my family and I don't care if mom and dad maybe dead by the time I am 18 but at least I'll still have my siblings. I love daddy but I know being one of the youngest children my time is limited. Actually daddy could live a long life because Nana is still alive at 95 you would think that her health would have taken her years ago like they thought but she fought it and now she's living a long life. Being only 6 and not knowing much I believe I am starting to see mom not knowing what child is what but that could also happen with having 9 children and 9 grandchildren.
Living a life as a Shepherd is complicated in first grade because they expect you to be like your siblings smart, and into sports. Okay so Sports are not for me I don't do that I rather sing, dance, or even be a science and history nerd. I think I take after Ellis because she use to be like this until middle school I guess now she's more into the medical stuff. She's a neurosurgeon intern. I'm proud of my sister not only because of her quick education in high school, and college, and starting an internship at the hospital, and her being married, and now a mother. I still feel bad for Lexie because she was engaged to a guy but then found out he was sleeping with another women and she left him. Now she is going with Wally Walters I like Wally he's so much better than what's his face.
My room feels empty now that Ellis' is married because she isn't sleeping in my room with me anymore, and Hannah, and Amelia still sleep in the same room although Hannah is usually at Donald Peterson's house her boyfriend or fiancé I'm not sure I don't see her that much because she's busy. Mom and dad think she's engaged but she won't tell them much about her life. I wonder if she's hiding something interesting about her life. This morning Amelia told me about how she couldn't wait for me to see what she got me for Christmas which was an Elizabeth American girl doll. Amelia designed her to look just like me. I love my doll, I really like my doll, now she can go with my build a bear dog that mommy and daddy got me that I named Nugget. I really want a golden retriever but mom doesn't think Tyler and I are old enough for a dog. Besides Luke and Amelia are 15 and won't be home to help us. I miss Daisy I don't get to see her that much unless I go to Ellis' house. Another Christmas present I got was a home video that the whole family created when Tyler and I were babies.
Merry Christmas,
Love,
Betty.
A/N: I wanted to introduce Elizabeth's thoughts as the youngest Shepherds are going to have some parts coming up when they are with their siblings. I know this chapter is short but I hope you enjoyed it anyways.
