Don't tell my other brothers but Ryan has always been my favorite. We are only 4 years apart and we have a lot more in common than I do with Zach and Breyden. Ryan is actually one of the main reasons I am so into sports. He has always been athletic and into basketball and soccer so of course i wanted to be just like my big brother so we were always outside shooting around or kicking a ball back and forth.
Ryan isn't the type of brother who never wanted his little sister around. He always included me when it came to doing stuff with his friends, with a few exceptions. It was nice having that because it made high school a lot easier for me at the beginning. Reen was a senior when I was a freshman and going from a parochial school to a public high school was terrifying so knowing more than half of the senior class was so cool. Him and his friends always stood up for me whenever I needed someone.
"Disc golf is life" is a very commonly used phrase in my house recently. Ryan picked up disc golfing his senior year of high school and spend every second he has free discing. He has over 200 discs and several portable baskets at my house. He is in a league that plays every Tuesday and is always coming home with the $50 dollar prize which he enjoys rubbing in my face. Reen travels all over Michigan to disc at the best courses and every time we talk about taking a family trip, it HAS to have a disc golf course nearby.
When Ryan isn't disc golfing he's usually working at the good ole McDonald's. He is the shift manager so it isn't as bad as most people say it is. But making over $15 an hour isn't necessarily awful either. I personally think he will be working there the rest of his life. Although after majoring in media broadcasting he plans to move to California to peruse his dream of becoming a producer. I just hope he remembers me after he becomes this big producer up in Hollywood.
I love how you admit to him being your favorite because I do that with my sisters as well! I think its awesome that he included you with stuff with his friends, too.
ReplyDeleteI love your nicknames for each other and love that he was that brother that included you in certain things, and it always feels good when you know that there is someone that will stand up for you and protect you. It's nice to see you have such a good connection with your brother!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of disk golfing until today, but it sounds pretty fun! I'm glad you have a good relationship with him, and only being four years apart isn't bad. My brother and I are eight years apart so you can only imagine how that goes lol.
