that time we snuck into the chocolate jar. that’s my “oh shit mom found us!” face. miss you so much. 

I almost lost you today.
And there was a thought that crept in my head, of what it would be like to be here without you, and it lingered there for quite some time.
I’ve never had my heart weigh so heavily on me.
I’ve always considered myself extremely lucky because you’re more than just a brother to me, you’re my best friend.
You’re the only one who understands my struggle because you’ve lived it too. 
I just don’t ever want to feel what it’s like without you.
I love you, and I’m praying for you.

Went to a wedding this weekend and thought I’d share a few snapshots. The happy couple Colleen and Jon. So happy for you both!

This is Brittany. I know she’s all over my blog already, but if you’ve ever had the chance of getting to know her, you should consider yourself really lucky. Along with her goofy personality (as illustrated above), this girl’s got a heart of gold. So thank you Brit, for being my photo guinea pig, bffl, and one of the greatest people I know.
