Day 5 of Thankfulness: Phil and Kristy

Today, I'm thankful for my only brother, Phil. He's 5 &1/2 years older than me and I think I've always looked up to him. He's always been there (even countries away) to help me talk through things and give some great advice. He's been a great support to me and an awesome example of Christ. I am so glad we have so many fun memories from family vacations, his swing choir experiences (even when I would study his yearbooks and know all his friends-haha), and just life in general. I'm thankful that even though I was much younger and probably annoyed him, he still let me be a part of his life. I really think he helped instill in me the love of music, movies and missions (of course my parents did too). I am also so glad that now he has an awesome wife to share life with in the Czech Republic. We love Kristy and are so glad she's a part of our weird, close-knit family!

I'm so thankful God blessed me with the best brother, Nilly!
