This weekend, my family and I celebrated my not-so-little brother's Senior Day for football. It may have been his last game on his home field (depending on playoffs, etc). How many 22-year-old, big, mean football players do you know that call their sisters to ask if they, in addition to their parents (which is all most of the seniors did), will walk across the football field with them as part of the Senior Day ceremony before kick-off?!?
He may be big and mean on the field but he has such a big heart of gold inside :) Here's a link to our family marching across the Thomas More football field before the game. I'm very proud of him!

We had a great time... tons of friends and family came out to tailgate and support him on this big day. But I must admit, days like this make me feel so old. I feel like it was just a year ago that we were moving him in to his dorm. I'll never forget my Dad and I taking him to WalMart to get a laundry list of essentials and I just started crying as I was putting items on the conveyor belt at the checkout. I didn't want to leave my baby brother alone in another state ('cause Kentucky is so far and all haha) to fend for himself. Who would beat up the mean kids for him if I wasn't around. (This is hilarious if you've already looked at the picture and realize I think he can beat up whoever he wants... but he's got too big a heart haha)
Anyway, proud moment for a big sister but it just seems like life keeps moving faster and faster every year I get older. Note to self: deep breaths and smell roses?!?! something like that, anyway.
