The Brother.

Okay...I want to write about 300 different things...but I will try not to be too random/overwhelming. Story of my life huh? Hahaha...sorry. Quit laughing at your own jokes Abby.

My little Bubba graduated last weekend. His is my only brother and it's ridiculous how much I love him. I am seven years his senior (don't do the math) and I just remember praying so much that he would turn out to be a decent guy...a guy who loves Jesus and isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in. And I can honestly say (not that I'm biased:) that he really is an amazing man (boy?)! He is adorable and hilarious and really sweet. He comes over and mows my grass without me asking...planted me tulips for Valentine's Day...he buys me Sonic drinks and lets me fish with him and laughs at my jokes (most of the time). He doesn't care what people think of him. He will spend time with people that most people will overlook. He sees the good in everyone. I mean, he has 5 sisters for Heaven's sakes! Mike Lovely is right..he deserves a special crown in Heaven just for that! :)

I love the fact that he drives a suburban with glass packs. I love that he cuts the sleeves off of most of his shirts. I love when he sings at the top of his lungs, especially in the morning. I love that he will never spend money on anything. I love that little kids look up to him. I love that he will always sit outside with me when nobody else will. I love that I can still beat him in a fight (hahah...you know it's true). I love that he is happy with just little things.

I walked in his room before graduation and saw him standing there in his cap and gown and it just made me want to cry my eyes out. Little baby Nathan...graduating? What has the world come to?? Lord help us all when the boy gets married. We adore him. He's my favorite brother - the only one I've ever known and a good example of what a brother should be. I'm so proud of you Bubba!
