Happy 18th Birthday Brother Bear!!!

Happy 18th Birthday to my little (bigger & taller than me) brother Matthew!!!

Bub,

I can't believe you are already 18 years old, this makes me feel extremely old, even though I'm only 4 years older than you! I'm so proud to call you my brother because you have grown into such an amazing young man, with a great head on your shoulders. I'd like to say some of that can be attributed to me, but I'll give most of the credit to Mom & Dad ;) I can still remember when you were just a little chub chub 3 year old who would climb all over the furniture and you were an accident waiting to happen. That can also be proven by the fact that you constantly had scratches and bruises from crashing on your bike while going off big jumps, or while skateboarding. Also, from the hospital visits due to you needing stitches from getting into some other little boy shenanigans. I'm so thankful to have you in my life, and I am excited to introduce you into some awesome adult things such as finally getting your license (so you can pick me up and drive me around of course), and going to the casino!!! Brother Bear thank you for always listening to my rants, and telling me if my outfit and makeup looks okay (since I don't have a sister), even though you have no idea what does look okay. Thank you for letting me play Angry Birds on your iPhone, and thank you for practicing Dancing With the Stars moves with me. You truly are the best little brother! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

xoxo,
Sister
