Lots of L.O.V.E !!!
Today was pretty great...even though Mark was working =( ! My twin brother, Bobby, aka, the Bobs (that's what I call him) is in town from Tennessee. So today my sister, Christine, and her husband, Richard (aka Ricardo) and I all went out to lunch. It was so great to see my brother. I saw him in March for the wedding, (which by the way-- oh goodness- doesn't time fly?!!) I really missed him lots... So if you can imagine me seeing him in the restaurant wanting to scream at the top of my lungs in excitement. If my family wouldn't have been embarrassed, you know I would have done it! That's just me though. So anyways- we made plans to go up and see our grandparents on the lake tomorrow. Yeah! I think I am also taking his senior portraits tomorrow. (He's graduating from Middle Tennessee State University in December!) Let me just tell you a little somethin' somethin' about Bobby.... A) He is fabulous! There's just no denying that. He says what he means, which I really do appreciate... I need more people like that around me. B) I am just so dang proud of him for following his heart (which can sometimes mean that a girl has to get you to where you need to go) and making the best of every situation. He is graduating with a degree in (well I don't know the technical terms-- ) but he is going to be a commercial airline pilot. He already has all of his certifications and now he is about to start teaching students!!! Wow.. he's come so far since our first (semi-scary) plane ride with him in 2005. What a good kid! He knew what he wanted- and he didn't stop until he had it. So, tomorrow we are trying to find a jet to take his Senior pics in front of-- how AWESOME would that be? Pretty awesome I'd say. Just to add a C) I love him because he's always so good to me-- and we kinda did share 9 months together- 9 months longer than any one else has ever spent with him. So special!
Anyways- tomorrow is going to be kinda busy. I am going to my friend's Uncle's funeral. So sorry Thomas!!! I'll be praying for you and your family! You guys are so special to Mark and I- we love you and we're always here for you!
