Well, two days ago, on Wednesday, I met my two brothers for the first time ever!!! It was so amazing!!! Taylor is 24, and Nathan is 22.
Nathan, me, and Taylor |
While I was making lunch, we talked about all kinds of stuff, and then sat down and played the question game. We all sucked at the game. Nobody could really think of questions... I know you are probably thinking of tons of questions you would ask, but my mind was drawing blanks. I couldn't really think of any good questions.
Anyway, after we ate we sat in the family room and talked and ended up playing Words With Friends on our phones for almost two hours. It was pretty fun... I learned that Taylor has a very small vocabulary considering every word he used was a word he had no idea what it meant, he just got lucky when the game accepted it. Nathan is hilarious because he just rolls his eyes and pokes back when Taylor says stupid things.
I definitely know we are related because myself, along with many other people have noticed wayyyy too many similarities. Taylor and I have the same smile, Nathan and I have the same eyes, we alllll bite our finger nails, and we all have pretty good senses of humor. lol. I can't imagine if we had all grown up in the same house. It probably would have been crazy.
Meeting my brothers seriously made my winter break. It was so awesome. I think we are going to hang out one more time before they head back home since they came to Ohio to visit me and other family. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to meet them and I get the opportunity to get to know them now. Not many people get the chance to catch up with siblings they didn't know they had. Well, I do!!! Thanks Jesus <3 You the Man...
HERE is the link for my reunion with my father... not really after, but a back story post: http://wustew.blogspot.com/2011/07/reunion.html
