Family Photograph

This is a photo of me and what I consider to be my "other" family. This picture was taken in Lordsburg, NM on April 24, 2008 at around 12 p.m. The four of us were traveling from Las Cruces, NM to Indio, CA to go to the Coachella Music Festival. After stopping at Taco Bell to grab some lunch we decided to set the timer on the camera and take a picture to document our road trip. The three people in the photo are like my family because (when possible) we do everything together. My boyfriend Jacob lives here in Las Cruces. Jacob's brother Issac, and his girlfriend Cara, live in Santa Fe. I am the oldest of 4 girls in my family so Issac is really the closest I've ever had to a brother. (I have 2 step-brothers but they are older and we don't see each other more than once a year). I consider him my brother and care about him like he is part of my family. I have gotten to know Cara pretty well over the past two years and she is someone who I know I will keep in touch with no matter what happens between her and Isaac in the long run. The four of us have had so many fun times together. I care about them all so much. This picture shows what I consider to be a family photograph. We have shared so much and will always be there for each other..just like family.
