16 Years

16 years ago today I was blessed with a baby brother. It’s funny to me how many things have changed, like how he is a whole head taller than I am and he can carry me around when I used to do the same to him. But then I think about all the things that have stayed the same, like how (as much as I hate to admit it) I am still overly protective of him and he is still, and always will be, one of my best friends.

I love each of my siblings an incredible amount, but Liam and I have a different relationship that can’t be explained. He was my first baby brother, my first friend; he was my world when we were younger.

I am happy to say that he has grown to be an amazing person and I am so incredibly lucky to call him my baby brother

Happy 16th Birthday Liam!

Surprise Visit

This weekend I received a lovely surprise visit from my mom and 2 youngest brothers, Jackson & Darby. While I was home for Fall Break 2 weeks ago I told myself that I wouldn’t go back home until Thanksgiving- which I knew was unfortunately a long, five weeks away.

Seeing my mom and the little boys truly made my day! I knew it would be a struggle to make it that long without seeing my family, but their visit will help me make it through the next few weeks before I am finally home again.

Here is a picture of the sign mom and the boys used to surprise me:

What a wonderful surprise!!
