In the interesting of loving more (And blogging more. Let's be honest, I've sucked in that category.), I have decided to do profiles on my precious people. I have a lot. I have so many people to love that sometimes I forget how many. For Precious People Part 1 I would like to introduce you all to my favorite brother. My only brother, but still by far my favorite. He recently came and spent a week with me in frozen Iowa. I took approximately one picture to show for it right as we walked out the door of my apartment to take him to the airport.

You bet your booties that we had plenty of shenanigans though! We mostly sat and drove and ate. That's how he and I roll. And it's legit the best way to roll. We went to all the best restaurants in town and even took a tour of the John Deere factory that is near my house! He also introduced me to my new most favorite TV show, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. If you don't mind the most terrible people in all of the land, it should be your new favorite show too!
He also helped me realize my vision of the gorgeous washi tape dispenser you see to your left. Isn't it pretty? He cut the dowels for me so I would have enough room for my obsessive collection. He didn't even mind going to the craft store with me. :) We even went to more than one. He's too legit to quit.

Let me tell you why he is Precious Person Number One. He is kind. He is thoughtful. He is handy AF. He is funny. I never have more fun than when I am with him. He cares about people deeply and would do almost anything for anyone. He produces the most beautiful children known to man and then he is so amazing that they are obsessed with him. In fact, when he was here to visit me, he hadn't been here more than a few hours when we got a FaceTime call from his home with his ginger-headed five year old asking, "Can you come home nooooooooow?"

They didn't want to be away from him even for a minute. He is passionate about things that are important to him and the hardest worker that I know.

I once was very sick. (You've heard about it.) I tried to tell him that he shouldn't drive the five hours from his home to mine just to have to turn around a drive back to be on time for work. After the second or third phone call he told me, "It's not a choice Meg." He literally drove down five hours to make sure I was okay, stay for a couple of hours, and drive the five hours back. He has always been there for me. Ready and willing to do what he can. He took a week off of work in 2015 to move me halfway across the country. He is literally the greatest.

| Best. Family. Photo. Ever. |
I am grateful that he is my brother every day. I am grateful that he
(and his wife) let me crash their lives sometimes when I'm a little sad
and need a boost. I have, on more than one occasion, called them up and
asked if I could fly out for a long weekend. I am grateful that
Thanksgiving is Aunt Megan Week and I always feel welcomed and loved. I am grateful that he loves to get in the car and drive. I am grateful that he loves to go on adventures. I
am grateful that he is raising the best kids, and that he picked the
best wife. I love him more than I will ever be able to say.

He is my first Precious Person because he is literally the best at loving and living and being my person. He is the best dad, the best son, the best husband and by far the very best brother. Nate, I love you to the moon and back and am sooooooooooooooo grateful for you!
