Blessing number 10

Nathan and Rebecca

Nathan is another of my very special brothers.

He is the one who will randomly write on my wall on Facebook

just to tell me that he loves me.

One thing I remember very clearly about him

is something that he can't do anymore...

He used to call my dog in this way that I won't be able

to convey to you here, but I'm going to try anyway.

"hIII siiiiiigh! what are YOU doin' dooooooog?"

Yeah, everyone but my immediate family will be

COMPLETELY lost when they read that.

He is also a very hard worker and he never gives up.

He's in the College of Pharmacy right now

and it took him a couple of tries to get accepted, 

but I'm sure he doesn't regret it now.

I have decided to follow in his footsteps

and pursue a career in Pharmacy as well.

He and his lovely wife Rebecca gave me a card

for graduation this last year and it made me cry when I read it

(not really that hard to do)

He wrote, "I just want you to know that Rebecca and I 

love you very much. No matter where you are

or where we are you are always welcome in our home

and we are always available to talk

if you ever need to."

I miss Nate. A LOT!

He was accepted into the College of Pharmacy

on the Meridian campus, so he and Rebecca

had to move to Boise.

I knew it would happen eventually

(all the kids getting spread apart)

but I just kinda hoped it wouldn't.

A few weeks ago there was a Pharmacy Fair

here in Pocatello and Nathan needed a place to stay

and I had the opportunity to put him up for the night.

He got here really late and left early the next morning,

but it doesn't change the fact that as soon as he put his

stuff in my extra room , he came and gave me

a big hug and told me that he loved me.

Rebecca is an amazing lady!

She likes to talk about any and everything

and I love her sense of humor.

I remember just after Nate and Rebecca got married

we were at Applebee's for dinner

and Nathan got distracted while eating his

Spinach and Avacado dip and kinda left

his chip with the dip on it just hangin' there.

Rebecca leaned over, ate the chip and gave him a big smile.

She knows what she wants in life 

and she stops at nothing to get it.

One thing I've really noticed about her is

that she sets a lot of goals. She's an awesome example.

I can't wait until I get mine!

P.S. I think they think they're too good to get a picture with me cause this is the only one I have and I had to dig around on Facebook to get it :P Just wait until Thanksgiving!
