I think your heart melts a little bit more when it's your younger brother's birthday. There's just something about younger brothers that gets you. Or maybe it's just me...

Anyway, it's my younger brother's birthday today! He's stationed overseas with the Navy, so we'll be doing our celebrating from afar this year.

I've been so nostalgic all day thinking about him. He's grown up into such a wonderful man. I really couldn't be more proud of him! He's 26 today. I'm sending him all kinds of love from Virginia!

It's Andrew's birthday today! If there's one thing I could do in my sleep it's celebrate him! He is just the best of the best. I love him and respect him and appreciate him more each day. Marriage takes work, yes, but oh my goodness is it ever worth it. The last eight months have been some of the happiest months of my life. I just adore being married to Andrew!

I made a little video montage for Andrew's birthday...highlights from our last two years of dating, being engaged, getting hitched, honeymooning, and become Virginia homesteaders! :)

Another year of life is a thing to celebrate! Just like that husband of mine. We're heading out for steaks tonight with his family...bring on the festivities! :)
