Happy Anniversary (and Sillyversary) Clay and Erin!

Uh.  Duh.  Hello worst sister (and Silly) EVER!  Today is my little brother Clay and my Silly's anniversary.  They have been married 2 years 2-day.  Let me just tell you about my little Claytonious.  He and I have a special bond.  We went through some junk in our childhood together.  Some not fun junk.  Luckily we had/have the coolest parents/grandparents/step-parents/all 'round family EVER so it made it much easier on us.  But there was some hard stuff.  And Clay and I are close because of it.  I remember growing up he would tell me everything.  Sometimes even things I didn't ... so much ... want to know.  But I love that he loved me enough to share things that were on his heart with me.  And trusted me enough to confide in me when he needed someone to listen.  When Clay was about 2 years old, his head (bless his heart) was twice the size of his body.  Maybe not that big, but it was big.  And because of this, he was deemed the nickname "Bulldozer".  Because he ran at everything, head first, and "bulldozed" it out of his way.  I really REALLY wish I had a picture of him so I could give a visual of said "huge head" but go ahead and take my word on this one.  But he was OH so dang cute.  I will never forget when Bulldozer came home from Baylor one weekend and said "Kate, I met this girl and I really like her.  I can't wait for you to meet her, I think you'll like her too.  She reminds me a lot of you."  I will tell you I don't think my brother could ever or ever will be able to pay me a higher compliment than to (a) tell me that someone he liked so much reminded him of me and (b) that it was this PRECIOUS AWESOMENESS of a girl who I now lovingly refer to as, my Silly.  So all that said, let's get a little picture-saturatin' goin' on here and let me say, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Clay and Erin and HAPPY SILLYVERSARY Silly!!!  I love you both SOOOO much!!!

  8. I loved hearing you talk about the relationship with your brother. I worry about the little hearts of Mitch and Julia going through such a hard divorce and it makes me really happy when I hear of success stories!
