My Brother

I was just getting together some photos of my brother for my sister. (Who, may I say, is being totally awesome and going out of her way to make a spectacular gift for his girlfriend for Christmas.) Both my brother and his "girlfriend" are currently on missions. My brother is in Georgia, and Nicole, his "girlfriend", is in Pennsylvania. (The mission is why girlfriend is in quotations) Anyway, as I was looking through to see what pictures I had of Brandon to send her I realized just how much I love my brother. I only have a few pics of him, (and most of them are from our trip to New Zealand) but every picture makes me laugh, or smile, or cry... (dang pregnancy!)
My brother Brandon truly is one of those remarkable people you only meet once in a lifetime. (and I am not just biased because I am his sister.) He has a thirst for life that infects every one he meets. You can't help but love him. He is so full of passion; for everything, life, his family, his friends, the gospel... He is doing so much good in GA. But we knew he would, he is a hard worker but he also just has that something special that draws people to him and rekindles their faith in goodness.
We miss him so much and can't wait until he comes home. (And I'm sure he is dreading the day) Anyway, I just wanted to take a couple minutes and dedicate this post to my brother (who won't even see it). We are so proud of him! We love him very much and we miss him daily. We are definitely looking forward to the day when we get the benefit of having him around.
