Phillip Seymore Hoffman

As Carrie Clement and I were headed to NYC for spring break, guess who happened to sit right across from us in the airport?!

The one and only - Phillip Seymore Hoffman

Instead of asking for a picture and his autograph, we decided to play it cool and just stare at him the whole time!

I think he probably wished we would have taken a picture and got over it! But come on, two silly girls on spring break what do you expect!?

We couldn't seem to keep his famous lines from Along Came Polly out of our head.

"Let it rain" and "Dude, I just sharded"

Nevermind that he apparently won an Oscar or Golden Global for Capote. I guess I should refine my taste in movies.

I would have liked to report that I got to share the Gospel with Philly but what can I say I was star struck! There's always next time I guess.

My Brother, Matt

This next post is on my oldest brother, Matt!

He's a stud - always has been!

Matt is also someone I have always looked up to in life! He's a hard worker and has always been driven to succeed and gives 100% in life, which has been a great example for me to follow.

This was my brother's family Christmas card by the way - isn't it a beauty!? They are too good looking for their own good!

My brother is all about working hard and playing hard! One of the many things he has taught me and one thing I LOVE about him.

He knows when to work hard and when to play hard - we all need both in life!

As a financial advisor he gets to combine his work and play with lots of golf outtings! It's a rough life.

Matt and Jana (his wife) just had their first baby girl, Isabella. She's SO stinkin' cute - it's ridiculous.

As I have watched my brother become a Father I have realized even more of what a great servant he is - always giving Jana backrubs, getting up with Bella in the middle night, bringing my dad endless amounts of popcorn and Templeton when he visits! (We love you Dad!)

Amazing example - I am challenged, brother!

Matt also has a die hard love for the Cyclones. If you know him, you know this to be true!

Thanks for showing me what is means to bleed red and gold! Priceless!

This picture was taken this fall when ISU beat Texas on their home turf!

Ahhh it's good to be a Cyclone! Well......most days:)!

This picture shouldn't surprise you either.

Bella wasn't even 1 year old before she attended her first ISU football game!

Wear it proud little Bella!

I am SO thankful for my brother. I always feel loved by him and taken care of as a sister.

I love him and can't wait to see what else God has in store for him and his family!
