How can I even begin to talk about how much this one person has influenced my life? She has been with me since day one, eagerly awaiting my arrival with so much anticipation and on April 17th, I blessed her with my presence 
. She was ecstatic to ride home from the hospital in the back seat with me, proudly wearing her “I’m the big sister” shirt. My sister Candice has been an amazing person to share so many life experiences and learn so many valuable lessons from. Today she turns 28. I am so proud of her and she is so proud of me. We were raised by two loving parents who always loved us, never compared one to the other, and encouraged both of their children to follow their passions wholeheartedly. Candice has done that! She is living in HER home state of Texas (I’m always going be a Louisianian), happily married to her love, and passionately teaching history in Jr. High. Talk about shaping lives and changing people’s perception of the world through her teaching and coaching. Another minor change in my sister’s life has been her weight loss. Candice has shed 125 pounds and Dave has lost 190 pounds. They look like different people to say the least!
Candice, I want wish you the happiest birthday today, but I also want you to know that I celebrate you everyday for all you have accomplished in 28 years, your influence on my life and so many others, your big sister advice, and loving heart.
Love,
Your Baby Brother

Here are a few I shot of Candice & Dave when I was home for Christmas. The light was fading and we had just a few minutes, so we will be having another session next time we are together.
Had to get a quick one of our awesome mom & dad….they pretty much rock!
