I can't believe my baby brother has been married for a whole year! I am so happy they found each other and have made it through their first year unscathed. We got together at Mom and Dad's last night(3/15) for homemade burgers and cake to celebrate with them, and we had a really great time. We took some pics on our phones, so they are not great, but will have to do seeing as how I never remember my camera!
When we first arrived and were hugging everyone, Makenna and Andrew had a funny moment. Andrew put his arm around her and said, "What's new?" Makenna thought for a second and then very seriously responded, "My pants!" It cracks me up when we are reminded of the straight forward thinking of a child. They see things in black and white. There are so many reasons we should be more like a child. We tend to over-complicate everything as adults. I wish the world was as simple as a child views it.
Saturday,(3/14) I went up to Roy to visit my cousin Tyler. I took Walker and Cameron with me this time. Walker was a bit unsure of how comfortable he would feel around Tyler not knowing what to expect. His fears were soon erased when he instantly felt great about it all and started talking to him and helping him on the computer. We had a nice long chat with the family that was up there including my cousin Holly's oldest, Emilio. He is just about a year older than Walker and they hadn't met until a few weeks back at another family party. They instantly hit it off and have had a good time with each other when they see each other. I love seeing Walker getting to know the family. I know I keep saying this, but I am so grateful for the opportunity Tyler's situation has given us all to get closer and serve him. Everything, even the really awful stuff is good. We learn and we grow with every experience we have. How can we help but to appreciate them all? One of these times I go up there, I really am going to take a few pictures. I need to strap the camera to my purse so I always have it.
