Adam's Senior

My little brother Adam is a senior in high school this year. Man its crazy to think that he’s that old, man, that I’m that old! But such is life *smile. So when I was home for Christmas, while I was making most of my family model for my, I took some senior pictures for him, here they are!

It’s Thursday and I had ice cream, it was my intention starting in 2012 to only have deserts on weekends, but I was celebrating, so I decided to make an exception. I was celebrating the day I became a big sister. That is definitely something worth celebrating!
19 years ago today my mom had another child, lucky number four and it was the day I became a big sister! As little kids I always loved my little sister Cassie, but at the same time I also wanted her to just do her own thing- she always had to do whatever I was doing, -I had major identity issues, but as we both grew into our teenage years she became my best friend! And along with my other siblings she will always be my best friend. The thing about us is we have similar interests, and our own opinions. We may not always agree on certain things but we know that we will always have each other! That is one of the best things about being family.
So to my little sister, have fun being 19! Make mistakes, but none you will regret! Live, love and laugh! Enjoy the boys, but don’t let them waist your time or break your heart and if that happens, you know my number! Continue being the person you are while also becoming the person you want to be. And when the world seems like it’s just full of crap just remember:

"Hey, don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.

Just try your best, try everything you can.

And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.

Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Hey, you know they're all the same.

You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.

Live right now.

Yeah, just be yourself.

It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.

Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.

Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.

It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.

Just do your best, do everything you can.

And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.

Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.

Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright)”

Nicole and Nate in the Furnace Pub

After a wonderful Thanksgiving meal Nate got out his guitar and we all sat around and listened to the beautiful music he played. He is actually quite talented! And then his beautiful wife Nicole joined in, man, they sounded really good!
