An Open Letter To My Older Brother

We may have our disagreements and drive one another crazy sometimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

An Open Letter To My Older Brother

Dear Jordan,

I know you probably think I forgot about you since I wrote one of these for mom and dad, but you thought wrong, my friend! You are my one and only brother, and of course, I am going to write about you because that's what sisters do, right? (and it was bound to happen eventually).

Let me first start off by saying how proud I am of you. I know I might not tell you that enough, but I really am. You are my older brother and I will always be here to support you and encourage you. Unfortunately, I know you all too well because we pretty much are the same person when it comes to our mentality, (I think we get that from both mom and dad, whoops), but you are too hard on yourself sometimes. You don't give yourself enough credit when you should, and you deserve it.

I know that we have our moments when we argue with one another, but somehow we always manage to get over it. You have such a big heart and are always kind to others, well, when you want to be (haha). But seriously, you have always been so giving to others your entire life, just remember to try to not spread yourself too thin and let people take advantage of you. I know, it's hard sometimes, but you have to set boundaries. Trust me, I still need to work on this myself sometimes.

I also just want to say thank you for always being there for me while we were growing up, even if you did decide to give me a haircut that one time (lol). Thank you for always washing my car and making it look normal again after I completely destroy it and neglect it for months. Thank you for making me laugh when I am upset. And thank you for just being you.

Sure, we may have our disagreements and drive one another crazy sometimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way. You are my big brother and I am thankful to have you in my life every single day.

Never change who you are for anyone, and always put yourself first and do whatever makes you happy.

I will always be here for you, no matter what, but I'm pretty sure you know that by now. I love you, Jordan.

Love,

Brooke

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.
