Someone Who Inspires You The Most - Big Chris.

So, as you know I have two siblings named Chris. No, my parents are not lunatics - one of the Chris's came by marriage. [Although we shouldn't totally rule out the lunatic theory - for other reasons ;)]

Maybe you are wondering why I didn't write about Big Chris in yesterdays post about siblings? Well, because I knew today's whole post would be about him & I didn't want all of my other siblings to think I loved him more or something =) So, it's a little late but much longer.

Big Chris inspires me for so many reasons. He was an only child for most of his life, yet he wasn't a brat & accepted all 6 of us easily. He quickly treated us all like true family & it helped us all to actually become one.

He is so kind & friendly. He gets along with just about everyone! He can strike up a conversation with a complete stranger & the stranger will walk away feeling better about themselves. That's just how Chris is; he makes you feel better.

He is such a hard worker & has accomplished so many things. He is an Eagle Scout, he served a worthy LDS Mission, He graduated from BYU. Those are just some of the bigger ones in his life, but he accomplishes so much so often.

I look up to him! Until he came along I was the oldest & I was the one to set the example for all of my siblings. When Big Chris joined our family I had a big brother. I got to know what it was like to look up to an older sibling & have them set an example for me. He is the best example of a big brother & a person. I want to be as great as he is someday.

Holy smokes Steph! I was just getting on a computer at BYU to print something off before heading down to Vegas. I didn't expect to see such a heartwarming post!

Thank you for writing this. You have no idea how much it means to me and how much it has brightened my day! I love you and our family dearly and am thankful for you especially in my life.

Thanks again sis! Love ya,
