Well...I wrote about my family and in Spanish no less!

There's also a little photo presentation that goes along with it. I won't subject you to that because I'm sure, with as many pics as I've shared, you all know what my family looks like.

Mi nombre es Lizet y esta es mi familia.

Hay tres personas en mi familia. Mi madre, María, mi padre, Richard, yo y mi gato, Srta. Marple.

Mis padres han estado casados por más de cuarenta años. Mi madre era maestra durante treinta y un años, y se retiró en 2004. Mi padre estaba en la Infantería de Marina de los Estados Unidos durante seis años.

Tengo una hermana mayor, Andrea, y un hermano mayor, Richard, Jr.

Mi hermana tiene un hijo, Marlin, Jr., y una hija, Jasmine. Mi sobrino tiene dieciocho años y mi sobrina tiene diecisiete años. Mi hermana es maestra en una escuela cristiana.

Mi hermano está casado y es el nombre de su esposa es Nieves y ella es de España. Tienen dos hijas gemelas, Marta y Daniela. Mis sobrinas tienen ocho años. Mi hermano estaba en la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos por más de veinte años.

Por último, este es mi gato, la Sra. Marple y ella tiene ocho años.

Last Wednesday my teacher looked it over (the rough draft) and said it was great. Tomorrow when we give our presentation (5 minutes) we can't use notes! OMG! We've not had enough time to work on this and memorize it to speak for 5 mins! Especially if Spanish isn't our native language. I've been practicing with it for about 6 days now and I'm still stumbling over the word. I'm not comfortable with them, especially the ones for the U.S. Marines and U.S. Air Force. We'll see if I can get away with a cheat sheet...

This looks really good. I can understand what you're saying in it.

Thank you.

going off the teacher's example, she only included those who live with her (her sons, husband and dog, then she mentioned the others in her family), so that's what I did and she didn't correct it

I figured that was probably it.
