To The First Boy I Fell In Love With, You Are My Hero
Reganne Hoirup

Hey S,

I guess I can't say that I fell in love with you. I literally loved you from the second that I knew you were going to come into my life.

I vividly remember building a fort in the waiting room of the hospital with Papa, like a teeny little three-year-old and understanding that my whole life was about to shift and get so, so much better.

It did.

I thought that you were the absolute most perfect little thing that I had ever laid my eyes on. A real-life baby doll that I could play with whenever I wanted.

I remember sitting in the living room of the old house and playing with you and mom and I would whisper all of my secrets to you.

You are a soulmate, a teammate, a best friend. Someone who has had the exact same upbringing as me and who understands literally everything I have been through.

You are the only person who I could watch play basketball every minute of every day.

You are someone who has my back through the good and the bad. Who will text boys who break my heart and tell them that they missed out on something special.

You know me better than my friends know me. Better than dad knows me.

You are pure, and gentle, and kind, and compassionate, and strong as hell.

You make me want to be a better person each and every day, and I am the luckiest girl in the world to get to be your sister.

I can't wait to continue to watch you grow and conquer. I can't wait to watch you follow your dreams.

I can't wait until the day that our kids grow up to have the same relationship with each other that we had with our cousins.

I wish that you would have had the opportunity to be an older brother so that you could love them like I love you.

You are my role model, my hero, and someone who I aspire to be like each and every day.

Thank you so much.

Love,

R

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
