missing my dude

well i was just updating my little brother's  (haha or should i say younger brother since he's HUGE) mission blog and it got me thinking about him...and can i just say, wow i miss that kid!!! he reaches his one year mark on his mission on friday! it's gone by so fast.

i've called him "dude" since he was 4' tall and now he's a grown man over 6' tall! what a champ to grow up with 4 older sisters. we joke that he's the glue that holds us all together. he's the perfect balance for all of the girls with different personalities. i miss the little boy that showered 3 times a day on our motorhome trips and put a bandaid on the top of his head when he bonked it. i miss the little guy that used to fall asleep in the family room every night. he'd get so mad when we tried to wake him up and send him to bed. no matter who woke him up, he'd yell "stop it abby!" haha. he was always wise beyond his years, "we shouldn't be good then bad then good then bad...we should be excellent, excellent, excellent!" i remember when he got in a bike accident and i was so scared he wouldn't be ok. i miss watching the cheesy disney channel original movies together every month. i still remember coming home for sunday dinner one week in particular when i was in my first year or two of college and realizing, "wow, Josh is FUNNY!" you know when your younger siblings get old enough that age doesn't matter anymore and you're all just friends?  i miss him jamming on the piano and singing away.

anyway, that's my random ode to josh. i miss you dude!!!!!!!!
