Family Life
My name is Joseph Grant Aigner and I am an energetic, enthusiastic and caring person who is blessed to have the best family and friends that anyone could ask for. I was born November 19 1987, I share my birthday with twin sister Molly. I also have an older sister, Kimberly, who is 25 years old. My sisters and I are best friends, we have the same fun loving personalities, we never fight with one another and they have taught me more about myself than anyone else.
Molly and I are inseparable, we have been at the same schools our whole life, had the same friends, and even now in college we are neighbors. I like to think that we keep each other on track and are there for one another no matter what. After spending every single day with together it’s no wonder why we are as close as ever, and even after we graduate I know that we will be inseparable. It is nice to know that someone like Molly will always be there for me for the rest of my life.
Kimberly and I are two goofballs who love to have fun and joke around with each other. Now that she has graduated from Gonzaga University, and is now living at home I get to see her more than ever now, and every time I go home from school for a break seeing he is one of the highlights of my break. I can be myself whenever she is around and not feel any pressures of people judging me, and that is a nice feeling. I love having an older sister who thinks she can boss her little brother around, even though she is about a foot shorter than myself, because it makes me laugh and know she tries to do that because she loves her little brother.
My mother, Cindy Keen, was the nicest, most sincere person that I have ever met in my life. Her kids were her life, she would do all the little things to let us know that she was always thinking of us, like making collages for us, scrap booking, and no matter who she was with she would always talk about us. She and my father got a divorce when I was about 10 years old which was devastating to her and the fact that we moved out with my dad made her even more sad. However, whenever we would go to see her I know that it would make her day, because even though we weren’t with her all the time she was always doing the little things to make us happy. Then unexpectedly she passed away in 2007, which was hard for me and my entire family. I know that she will be missed by all of us, but I know that she is still watching over us to this day.
My father, Rob Aigner, is a successful business man and loving father. He can be a little hard nosed sometimes, but I know that everything that he does is for the sake of his kids best interests. I always go out golfing with my pops when I come back from college and that is our bonding time together that I will always cherish and enjoy. He was remarried to my stepmom Tina Pappas, and together they had two more kids; James who is now five, and Melina who is now 8 years old. Tina is a wonderful woman who is goal oriented and succeeds at anything she puts her mind to. Living with her and my dad has never been weird, it has always felt like family, and I am glad that Tina is apart of my family now. This makes for a crazy household sometimes but the craziness is what makes home feel like home.
My family isn’t perfect but I wouldn’t have it any other way. There are so many different dynamics to our family, but it makes me love them even more because I know I cant find anything like them anywhere else. I love having a supportive family that wants the best for me, and I know that because of them I will become a better person in my life.
