I miss my family.
I kind of want to see them a lot.
Especially since I don't get to go home until August.
So the next few days are for them.
Stephen Howard would you like to be the first?
Okay perfect.
Stephen Howard was born two days before my birthday. I was about to turn four years old when he came into the world. At first I was a little disappointed because it kind of took away some of the emphasis on MY birthday. But in time I would get over that. Woosh.
Stephen got all the athletic ability that I didn't get. He can play pretty much any sport. And although that includes your general sports like basketball, football, baseball, and golf, it also transfers into the realm of non-common sports like water sports. Waterskiing, wakeboarding, wake-surfing, body surfing, trolling for sharks, he does it all and more.
Way back in the day my room upstairs would get really hot in the summer months. So Stephen and I would pull out the mattress and sleep out in our basement. After watching TV for a little bit we would turn it off and one of us would say a familiar phrase "You wanna talk?" Then other one would quickly respond with "You go first." We would usually talk about Hebgen Lake and what we planned to do on our summer days. He would always fall asleep first. I loved those chats though.
Stephen fulfills his role as little brother by being the most annoying person on this planet. Just so you know.
But I love him anyways.
I miss him sometimes.
I miss watching him excel at sports.
I sometimes wish I could watch him in his high school years.
Love you Steph O.
