A little over a year ago, I found out that my brother had his eye on a "lady" and right away I knew she had to be something special. I say this because, of course, my brother is special, but also because he hadn't had his eye on anyone in quite some time. Over the next few months, I had the opportunity to hear my brother talk about someone in a way that I had really NEVER heard him talk about anyone. I heard excitement and even giddiness from the guy who once told me that most girls were too silly to waste his time on. (I don't know that those were his exact words, but that's the impression I got.)
Over the next few weeks, every time I talked to him I could tell that he was falling more and more in love with this girl...and I just couldn't keep up! And then it seemed like it was no time at all before he was ready to propose to her Obviously, she said yes. And in August he brought his new finance back to the states to meet the fam.
Honestly, I felt pretty nervous about meeting the girl who had stolen my brother's heart. But right away I liked her. She was cute. She was funny. She loved to laugh. And she just fit right in with the family.
Ryan and Teresa were married in October and started working on a family right away. (sorry...there's no better way to word that). When they came home at Christmas, they announced to the family that she was expecting. And just a few weeks ago we found out that "it's a girl". She's due the first week of July.
Because they live in Haiti, it's been difficult to be a part of their lives and get to know my sis-in-law. But the time that we have spent together has been fun...and I'm happy to have her as a part of the family. Happy Belated Birthday T!
