Where Yo At, Healthy Fams in YA??

Image
If anyone is curious, yes, this is an old family picture. And I covered everyone's faces with letters so they wouldn't kill me for posting old pictures. Of course though, I wasn't able to cover eight year old Gray's face, so yeah. Look away! Look away!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've glowed up over the years, hopefully.. Random person: Actually, you haven't. Me: Shsssss, let Gray dream! :P A quick note:     Heyyyyy guys! I'm sorry for being SUPER irregular when it comes to when I post!! I've just been tired and not very busy (does that make sense?
