Humans I'm Missing- Shropshire Family

I am missing the Shropshire Family so dang much! 

I have known this family for seven years! It all started with a phone call on June 7, 2004 (I was almost 12) I got a phone call asking for me if I would want to babysit 3 kids. I was all for it! I don't know what made me do it because I had no idea who was calling me. I told my dad and he knew exactly who I was talking about and he took me down to Provo so I could go and babysit them.
I babysat them every day Monday- Saturday 9am-10/11pm all through the summer. When school came they would pick me up from school and I would stay till 9/10pm. 

I always had so much fun with this family! We went to Lagoon together, went hiking, they even invited me to Disneyland! (but I had other Christmas plans) 

When I was 14, they moved to South Carolina. I was so sad. They told me they would fly me out in the summer. I thought it was so cool, but then I realized that no one would would fly someone out. Only family. What friends would do that?

But the Shropshire's did! I have spend every summer (and even a few spring breaks) in South Carolina! This year I was not able to go because it being my last summer at home and I needed to work. I miss the late night runs to the grocery store with Jane, talking with Ed, playing with the the kids, and watching late night movies, going to the beach, going to Carowinds, going swimming, going to church, touring downtown. All this stuff we do together!
And since they have been there they have had another girl who will be 4 years old in March. I miss the family! 
They are the kindest people I have ever met in my life!!! 
Jane and Ed (the parents) are so funny and I love talking with them.
And the kids are kids. I love hanging out with them.
Never a dull moment with the adults and the kids!!! Never! 

The oldest, Kara, started High School today! I can't believe it! When I met her she was almost 7. Now she's 14 and going to High School! 
Time sure does fly! I wish I could see them again (without skype, but I still love that thing). 

That is my long ramble of the Humans I am Missing. 

Me and the kids a few years ago.
Sidney, Kimi, Me, Kara, Cole.
