Day 5

 

Today's picture is a little blurry but it is of Matt and his little sister Gracie playing Wii. One of the things that I love about Matt is his relationship he has with his little sister. Gracie is 10 and I really admire the relationship that the two of them have. They have a very close relationship and at times I think it can be difficult for Gracie to share her oldest brother with someone else. When we first got engaged Gracie cried and really wasn't too excited about the idea of her brother getting married. Later that night I was able to sit and talk with Gracie. I'm not sure if she even remembers that talk but it is one that I will never forget. As I explained to her that I wasn't trying to steal her brother away and that I really was becoming part of their family. I explained that she would be like a little sister to me and that Matt and I both wanted her to be apart of our lives. At the end of our conversation she told me, "Now its ok if you marry my brother. I wouldn't want him to marry anyone else." Knowing their relationship I knew that Gracie had just paid me the highest of compliments.  I love the relationship that continues to build with my future sister in-law as I move from Miss to Mrs.
