I've always been outgoing and speak my mind. I lost my way for a while as a child after losing my parents. My aunts Sassy and Sere boosted my confidence in the uncanniest of ways making me even stronger. Some call my aunts witches and I just laugh. They love every moment of that, and I used to have fun making kids think that I was till I found my friends that became my friends for life. They didn't care how I was raised they loved me for me, and liked my beloved aunts. Yes they are eccentric, but I couldn't imagine them anyway else. I wouldn't be who I am today if they hadn't been. I got my strength and courage from them. My odd sense of humor and a bit eccentric in ways. I look at things different and take different approaches than most. For my family I wear my heart on my sleeve, but to everyone else it's as if I hold them back a few steps. Except for my closest friends and a few others I've grown to trust over the years.

The Bell Family migrated here not long after the town was founded. My great, something,grandfather built the Storybook Bookstore. He loved what he did and it shows in the workmanship in the building and what he sold in his store. It has passed down generation to generation in the Bell Family keeping alive what he started all those years ago.

It was a dark and stormy day I came into this world. Must be why I love thunderstorms. Welcoming me home were my parents Brock and Sapphira Larson, and my older sisters, Caryn and Stacey. I was the baby of the family, and when I got older I always wondered if dad was disappointed that he never got a boy. By then it was too late to ask him. So I guess I will never know.

My older sisters got mini bikes when they turned four and I was no exception. Our dad Brock was a member of the Wild Wolves MC, and we lived the life with him. I remember being so excited, and loved every minute of the time spent with my father. I graduated up to a dirt bike when I turned six, and in no time was doing motocross. Those are the moments with my father that I cherish in my memories.

When I was seven my parents went on a cruise. I remember them being so excited and I was happy for them, but realized I was homesick for them shortly after they left. We were left with our aunts Sassy and Sera. We loved staying with them, and I forgot my homesickness in no time. Getting to stay above the bookstore where they lived was a treat for us.

I loved the bookstore, and had grown up there pretty much as our aunts had been our official babysitters growing up. The library became our wonderland. Before we had learned to read our aunt would take turns reading to us. It was as if they made the stories come alive for us. Once we learned to read we were allowed to read whatever we liked. I think we were gaining a whole library at home. Of course mom was always there when we were little too, but she was the one who usually ran the errands for the store.

The day we knew they were coming home we were excited to get to see our parents again, but a little sad we’d be leaving our aunts too. My older sisters and I went to school that day as normal, but when we got home the bookstore was closed, and there were lots of old ladies there as well as Wild Wolves. We made our way upstairs finding our aunts crying. We knew immediately something was wrong. Aunt Sassy was finally able to get out that our parents weren’t coming home and that the lord was taking them to heaven.

Life as we knew it was no more. It wasn’t till years later when I was a teenager that I found out how my parents died. At seven I really didn’t understand much of what was going on in the next few weeks. The funerals were hard for me especially with my aunts crying like they did and saying goodbye to my parents.

My aunts got custody of us, but my grandparents fought it. My aunts had the law on their side though with my parents having it in their will. They still let us see our grandparents as they weren’t heartless. They made sure they were a part of our lives.

My best friend growing up was Tyler James. He’s the one who kept me grounded when my life was so topsy turvy. He was my anchor when my parents were taken from me. I was a bit of a tomboy, but I was definitely a girl. Sure I had a few friends that were girls, but it was always Tyler that I wound up with.

Junior high rolled around finally and I couldn’t wait to try all the sports that were offered. I went out for Volleyball, but got into trouble for being too aggressive at the first game so I got kicked off of the team. Basketball wasn’t much better. After getting the team two technicals in the first game the coach. Aunt Sassy just laughed about it, but Aunt Sera would lecture me. My older sisters just rolled their eyes.

I decided to try Hockey, and sure I ended up in the penalty box quite a bit, but it was fun. The coach loved me though, and we took state that year, and the next. I continued playing through high school. It helped me take my aggressions out and work on my anger management. Anger that seemed to have started when my parents died I finally realized.

When I was seventeen I realized I was pregnant. Tyler was the first one I told, and when we went to tell my aunts they let me know that they already knew. They were disappointed in me, but they weren’t mad like I thought that they would be. I delivered twins two days before I turned eighteen. I was still able to go out for Hockey then my senior year.

My older sisters went off to different parts of the country to go to college after they graduated. As for me since I was dating Tyler since junior high I stayed in Big Sky going to University there. After a scare with Aunt Sera my senior year when it was just the two of us, and the twins, at the bookstore I hated having felt helpless to help her. I had made up my mind to become a doctor not liking that helpless feeling.

Tyler was studying to become a lawyer. Even with both of us in school we married and continued on adding to our family. We were happy, and loved one another, and the children we were bringing into this world. We have eight children, and I was only pregnant five times. Our eldest two were twins Asher and Kira. After them came Brecken, Austin, and Riley. Then to top it off I had triplets Rade, Raven, and Rebel. After carrying them I told Tyler no more.

I became a full fledged Medical doctor and opened my own practice. Where I see patients on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as a half a day on Friday. Otherwise on Mondays you can find me at the hospital working wherever I am needed as well as on Wednesdays. Work one weekend a month. Friday afternoons are spent with my husband and Friday nights are game nights for us. We don’t miss one of our kids games if we can help it. My sisters and I call one another once in a blue moon, but we try to stay in touch. I think they talk to my aunts more than me. I also ran for City Council to be able to spend a little more time with Tyler since he's on the City Council.
