Tomorrow.....32....

Tomorrow is my First Best Friend's birthday. I say my "first best friend" because that's exactly what he was.

My brother is two years and one month older than me, but he was my very first friend. I followed him everywhere when I was little. Even when him and all his friends were riding bicycles, I would just run behind them, following. There were many lonely times in our childhood, when all we had is eachother, and that is what kept us strong.


I am very proud of the man he has become. He has a wonderful family. His wife, Jalee, is someone I admire, and care deeply about. They have 3 gorgeous children (with one more on the way!!) And although I don't get to spend as much time with them as I used to, or even as much as I'd like, I still think about them all daily.

And though, through the years, we've had our squabbles, I still see him as my "First Best Friend", and I look up to him A LOT.

Joshua David Scott....Happy Birthday!! I love you bro!

For my Best Friend.....Happy Birthday

When I was in kindergarten, we did these little pictures with our handprints and a saying that was similar to this one:

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing
I'll be grown up some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a final handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.

My mom turns 50 tomorrow, October 25th. I just wanted to take a minute to tell her Happy Birthday and tell her how much I love her. She has done so much for me and I could never thank her enough. She is so amazing and I look up to her so much. We have shared some good times and we will share many more. We need to just go on a road trip once a year and that will help keep us sane. Our road trips are the best! We can just let loose, laugh, talk, and have a blast! I look forward to our next one!

Happy Birthday, Mom. I love you.
