Recapturing Beauty Day 8: making peace with my genes

I'm ok with my genes. Since being in biology, I now have a fascination with genes. It's crazy to think that out of more than a billion different combinations of alleles, I got the ones I did. And I wouldn't have it any other way!

Who do you think I look most like?

Got a pretty good mix I think. I definatly know I got my dad's blue eyes. The dark kind that can be greyish depending on what I wear. I think 2 of the 5 kids actually got my mom's light blue eyes. 

Someone once told me that I look like my grandma miller (my dad's mother). These are some pictures of her when she was my age. What a classic beauty! (She still is!)

Can you see the resemblance? I still can't get over how awesome these pictures are. 

I hope to research more about my family traits on both sides of the family. It puts a different spin on doing genealogy! If I had more than just a day for this challenge, I would have gathered more pictures for this post! Oh well.

I love my family and my genes like crazy!
