Happy Birthday, Big Brother!


Today is a very special person's birthday...


My brother, Noah.

God blessed me enough in just sending me to my family as the second-born...not the oldest.
Then, I wouldn't have an older brother.
I know so many girls who wish they had an older brother, and every time I hear a girl say that, I just thank God that I have my own.

Noah, you have been more of a blessing to me than you will ever know.
You have encouraged me.
Cried with me.
Hugged me when I need to be.
Reprimanded me when I had to be.
Counseled me when I needed to be.
Listened to me...even when I just babbled on and on.

You are such an amazing man of God!!  And I am more than honored to call you my brother.

I know that you will go far in life.  Your love for the LORD makes that obvious.  You have high hopes and dreams and I have faith in you.

Thank you for having fun with me...
For putting up with my goofy-ness. :P
 
 And being goofy ;)

For introducing me to Yogurtland.

For going on walks with me...

And letting me take your picture! (you are so dang good-looking!!)

 For letting me come places with you...and for all the driving that you've done for me.  (I promise I'll make it up to you someday ;)

 For letting Jacque do a brother-sister photoshoot with us.
I will treasure these pictures forever!! <3


Thank you for being the 
amazing

artistic
good-looking
dark-haired
leather-making
hunter-man
Godly
older brother...

YOU!!!

I love you so much!! <3

H-a-p-p-y b-i-r-t-h-d-a-y!

Aww, this is so sweet. :)
I've often wished I had an older brother but, I don't...God has blessed me with two younger brothers though! And I wouldn't trade them for ten older brothers. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH! Hope you have an awesome day. :)
