Welcome to the Hedge

Out here on the east coast, near our beloved nations capital sits our home in Fairfax, Virginia. The man of the house, Doug "the Thug" (old), is always busily working. House work, real work, yard work, unnecessary work... the MAN is always working. The lady, ANN (old ish), is cooking. cooking, cleaning, and making cinderella references. The real Bush, MATT (19 almost 20. and still at home), is the ever present reminder of why my children will never have facial hair.....and also keeps us in constant fear that wolverine  might sue him for stealing his look. Then theres me, LINDSEY(17), the ... well  the me. its hard to really, truly define ones self. Finally there is the little'un, HAYLEY (14). She happens to be quite a lot taller than me. She should be the tree in this family of bushes. At least compared to me 5'3" and shrinking. 
        Dad is somewhat brilliant. Matt and Hay Bay(the ultimate smartie) both take after him in their genius-ness. My Momma is an excellent baker. She makes these mouth watering cookies and cakes. Its almost like an edible sin. I think my friends use me to get to my mothers cooking and baking. Me? I don't uh really know about me. I'm a decent writer and an aspiring photographer. My sister does Crew and my brother is going to George Mason University(so i suppose it's okay that he lives at home). My mother is a creative genius. She has also continued her long reign in young women's by being called to be the stake young women's president.
      There has been an addition to this family of ours. Two to be specific. One is named Clementine (the incredibly annoyingly cute) and also Mango (the amazingly loud). The Real Bush (MATT in case you forgot his lovely nickname) has taken interest in these feathery annoyances and wants to get the biggest annoyance of all time.......the PARROT. of course my constant nagging and the realization of how much work that would be has kept action on that decision at bay. I happen to be perfecting my talents by learning to play an instrument.....again.
