He was it.

When I was a little girl I prayed and prayed for a baby brother. And shortly after I turned 6 yrs old I got exactly what I prayed for.....a baby brother named Ryan. He was it for me. We are each other's only sibling. He will probably tell you I was a mean sister growing up. And he is probably right. I mothered him and bossed him around to no end. I beat him up a lot......usually for good reason. We fought like cats and dogs. We are about as opposite as siblings could really be. But in good ways. Ryan will graduate from Vo Tech in this December and become a lineman. He will be the crazy one on the side of the road climbing the power polls and the guy up in the bucket on the truck restoring your power when a storm hits. He has interned 2 summers for the local electric company and loved it. I am very proud of him. And cant wait to see where he ends up working!

The girl in the picture is my brother's girlfriend Krista. Isn't she beautiful!!! And so sweet too. Our girls are in love w/ her. Usually the first thing they ask uncle Ryan when they see him is "Where's Krista at?" They have been dating for 3.5 yrs. !!!! We're hoping she sticks around! She will graduate a year from this December w/ an elementary education degree from K-State. I am also proud of her. She is very hard worker. And knows what she wants in life. And I think that's awesome.

Just wanted to let you know I love you both!!!
