last night was a fun evening. my little younger brother andrew and his wife casey took us out to sushi for our christmas present. getting a food gift from my brother andrew is a lot like striking gold, because he goes all out with food. score. it was definitely delicious and for all i know, it might be the last time for a while we eat sushi. legit sushi, that is!
i have to say, ten years ago i would never have dreamed that i would be going out on a double date with my brother and his wife. i love all my siblings but andrew, well…he was big and hyper and obnoxious. truth be told, he is still big and hyper but somewhere along the way, the obnoxious-ness seems to have disappeared. mostly. 🙂
on a serious note, i am in awe at the Lord’s writing in his life. watching a younger sibling grow up is pretty cool because you watch them grow through all the stages of childhood and adolescence. it is pretty sweet to see my brother as an adult man, serving the Lord and happily married to the love of his life. it is also nice to really (really, really) like his wife. ♥
i am blessed to have them in my life. they are an amazing auntie and uncle to addy and mercy. they are fun and sweet. they are generous and kind. there were a few years way back when we were younger that i thought about disowning andrew. {interject marie’s arm broken by andrew here.} today i can’t imagine him not being my younger brother and casey not being my sister-in-law.
i am blessed to have them in my life!
best first dance ever!
