Theyre Engaged! My brother asked for a heartfelt, tear jerking announcement, so Ill try and give my best monolog... 18 years ago, my momma called me and announced the arrival of my second baby sibling, letting me know I was a big sister for the second time. Little six year old me, with cheerful bliss and bouncing bubbliness, asked repeatedly...boy or girl, boy or girl?! My momma said I should come to the hospital and meet my new little....BROTHER! Six year old Laurens reactions... Silence. Hung up the phone. Anger. I was desperate to hear my momma tell me I was getting a sister. A girl to share my secrets with, whisper obnoxious comments with, and steal shoes from. Someone who shops with me, laughs until we cry, talks about dream weddings with, and someone that becomes my partner in crime. To share our dreams and heartbreaks. To be my best friend. But, but, but...I got ANOTHER brother. At six years old, I was heart broken. I didnt realize the moments that would come, the moments that would take my breath away. I didnt know I would get to laugh all hours of the night together with my brothers, trying not to get in trouble. I didnt know I would give advice, help dress them, read to them or scratch their backs. I didnt know I would bawl my eyes out when my baby brothers walked up to my car, just as I was exiting it, in my big fluffy wedding dress, and they would tell me I was beautiful with tears in their eyes. I didnt know I would beam so proudly on the sideline as my two baby brothers played soccer together, and so beautifully and talentedly to add. I didnt know I would talk to my baby brother until 3 in the morning about how much he loved his future wife. I didnt know I would tear up, as I got to be apart of his proposal, sitting on the stairs silently, my hands clasped together praying for their happiness. And at the right moment, I would get to take a picture of him on his knee proposing to the love of his life. I wanted a sister that day, 18 years ago. But I got two brothers, because I needed these two crazy boys. But more than that, God knew he had a sister coming for me, one that I dreamt of at the age of six. Now at 24, I can announce the arrival of my newest family member, my baby sister. I couldnt be more thrilled, more thankful, and more proud of these two crazy kids. I am one proud big sister. I love you two so much. Happy Engagement Day Pookie and Ash. Put God at your center, and you will not fail. Blessed happiness for many years to come. Luke M. Taylor Ginny Rechert
