My Life and Adventures: My little brother is all grown up... :)

I remember, well sort of, the day that my little brother was born. June 15, 1993. I remember my mom being pregnant with him because we had that horrible blizzard of 1993 when she was pregnant with him. We were still living in our old house on Homewood, and we had SOOO much snow! I, the cute little precious thing I was, decided that it would be cool to throw snowballs at my mommy's belly. Don't worry, despite my arm now, I didn't have that hard of a throw to do TOO much damage to little Christopher. I remember coming up to the hospital with my Grandma the day he was born and finally getting to sit in the little green hospital chair and hold my baby brother for the first time. I think I was terrified and excited all at the same time! He was so stinkin' cute though! It took some getting used to though, no longer being the only child in the house. At one point, I kind of wondered outloud "I wonder what he would look like in the trash can?" Needless to say, seconds after that I got a, "BRITTANY ALEXANDRA" from my mom and I ran off crying. Daddy came and talked to me. I was just a little freaked because everything had changed and I was afraid nothing was going to be the same. Hey, its a lot for a 4 year old to deal with. After this little episode, things got much better and I tried to be a good big sissy to him.

Now, almost 18 years later...we've finally found out how to get along with each other. Now don't get me wrong, we still argue and fight and push each other's buttons, but he is one of my best friends. My little brother (well younger brother considering he stands a good deal taller than me and can pick me up like a rag doll), knows me pretty darn well and always knows what to do to make me feel better, or quit stressing, or make me laugh when I'm about to lose it and cry! We've had our moments, but I am SO proud of him for everything he has accomplished in life! On May 21, 2011 at 10am, my brother, Christopher Patrick Duncan, graduated from Powell High School and joined me as an alumnus of PHS. He even made it all the way across the stage and down the ramp without falling or tripping! He did so well in high school, keeping up with his grades, a social life, and learning how to manage time and working as much as he could to earn money to help him pay for gas, his car, and everything else he wanted to do. Now, as a high school graduate, he is starting to work full time at Food City to earn some money for when he decides to go to school for his career! I am so proud of him for taking each of these steps in life. I am so proud to call him my brother and so, so proud to be his sister!

This blog post is dedicated to my brother! Congrats Chip! YOU DID IT! :) Here are some pictures from the graduation day...to sum it up...we sure do like to party and take pictures :)
