I love my family.
(No that was not a joke, I really do.)
They have always been there for me since day 1.
It seems that there is always that one sibling that you seem closer to then any of your other ones.
If you are an "only child" I am sorry. (Maybe you have a stuffed animal you are close to???)
For me it is my spunky brother Ryan who is honestly one of my best friends.
Today I want to write a shout out to him.
It makes me sad when people complain about how much they hate there siblings.
I am not saying that my relationship with my brother is perfect and that we never fight (after all we are only human), but we never let our arguments get in the way of what matters most.
He is so kind and is always thinking about others.
Ryan gives me new insight to things I never thought about before.
He even stays up into the wee hours of the morning listening to me vent to him about all of my problems. (Sometime I have a lot of problems...)
I am one of those really highly emotional people and he holds me when I have an break down and lets me cry on his shoulder.
(This kind of happens a lot).
At school he acts tough -after all he is almost a black belt in karate- but at home I get to see his vulnerable side.
When people first meet him he can be kind of shy, but once you get to know him you realize that he is not shy at all.
In fact he is one of the funniest people I know.
Whenever I need to smile I always turn to him.
It has been great watching him come out of his shell this year by being our school mascot.
Not only has he wowed the crowed with his amazing dance moves (He does an Napoleon dynamite imitation), but all of the younger elementary school students love him and he loves them.
He is very diligent in his church callings and he would do anything for anyone.
Ryan is also really smart...(shhhhh he doesn't want any one to know.)
He is super talented with science, engineering, and building things out of wood.
One year for Christmas he carved these little tiny trains about the size of my pinky and gave them away as Christmas presents. Everyone loved them.
We make it through school by helping each other out. I am an english junky. I love writing and reading. He is not. As I mentioned before he is more scientifically minded which is a blessing. (Free tutor... woot* woot* !)
I help him with his papers+ He helps me with science= We both pass!
I know that he is my younger brother, but in many ways I feel like he is older then me.
I am constantly turning to him for protection, guidance, and direction.
The Lord has truly blessed me with a great brother.
When I get married I hope to be able to find a man that is just as great as my brother, which will be hard to do because as you can see my brother is incredible, but I am up for the challenge.
Thanks Ry for being so AWESOME!
Here are some pictures of my prodigious brother.
