Proud big sis

I am a proud big sister! God blessed me with two incredible little brothers. There are no words to describe how much those two young men mean to me, and today I want to blow them up.

So I will start with the older of the two, Nolan. Nolan is in his last year of college at Eastern Kentucky University. He is majoring in Political Science, and if I am up to date, he also will be getting a minor in Econ. Nolan is also a huge history buff, if you have a questions about anything, I would bet he has the answer. I truly believe that he is the smartest person I know. I so admire his knowledge and his passion for the things he is interested in. Something else that is cool about Nolan is he is active in the things he cares about. He has an insane draw to politics and takes an active role in the community by aiding in campaigns. Nolan inspires me to learn and develop my own opinions on the state of our government. I believe he will end up working in the government and implementing important changes.

Aside from the exterior things about Nolan, he has a true heart of gold. I swear I don’t think he has a mean bone in his body. He would do anything for his family and friends. Even when Nolan and I aren’t getting along, he never says anything to intentionally hurt me. He has this amazing ability to stay level-headed. I so admire his personality. He truly has this gentle spirit and is such a blessing to me.

The youngest is Aidan. At 16 years old, he is driving cars, dating girls, and pursuing sports. Of the three of us, Aidan is by far the most athletic. He plays basketball and baseball. It is so much fun watching him develop as an athlete. It's not so fun when he can out shoot you on the basketball court! Haha! With the athletic life, comes the social life. I swear he is never around and is always going a million different directions. He fills his time with practices, games, weight-lifting, and hanging out with friends. Aidan has more going on in his life now than I ever have! I believe that Aidan will go far as an athlete and is in an amazing position to influence those around him for the positive.

Aidan is also the comedian of our family. That kid could have his own stand-up act. He is quick-witted and able to make jokes at the drop of a hat. There is rarely a time that he doesn’t have us laughing. Sometimes the things he says push the envelope, but it wouldn’t be the same to have him mellow out. He blesses me as well with the goofy person he is.

My brothers and I are different in almost every sense of the word, yet somehow the three of us have this unbelievable relationship. I think that since the three of us are so different we complement each other really well. I love those two guys so much and would do anything for them. Seeing who they are growing into makes me so proud. I love my little brothers!
