My Little Bro and I


My younger brother Richy was in town a few weeks ago...we got to spend a couple of weeks with him before he left on his second deployment overseas....what better way to spend your last day with your brother than a late night trip to Bucky's?

Nothing like some late night caffeine to make you act a little {crazy} with a camera...and thank you to those at Starbucks for not kicking us out on this very short lived moment...above: Us striking a pose. (I almost didn't post this because I look a tad bit manly...okay now I'm laughing out loud about the fact that I just drew everyone's attention to my manliness)

We were supposed to be faking smiles here but his looks pretty genuine, and mine you know is fake because I smile with both sets of teeth, top and bottom baby! BUT...this is what my smile looked like all through my high school pics because I was going through a "smile crisis" then...now, I'm just fine smiling the way God made me darn it!

The "Mocha-sip" pose...it doesn't get any more real than this people...

Keep him, all of our soldiers and our country in your prayers, I know it is not as crazy as it was seven years ago, but there are still those in harms way every day, lets not forget about them.
