My "twin" brother came to visit while on leave from the army. Nick and I somehow grew this amazingly strong bond right after my divorce. I guess you can say Nick helped save me. He didn't let me sit at home and feel depressed, he dragged my butt out for Jamba's and movies and too many nights of pool to count. If I was especially stubborn at wanting to be in a bad mood, he would tackle me and draw a smiley face on me with a sharpie, and then take a picture of it with my phone and text it to people. We got asked a few times when we were out if we were twins. Nick showed up Friday night and joined the circus for our traditional Friday home made pizza and movie (we tortured him with Stepford Wives) and Saturday (after the costume party for my girls, as you can tell by them being at Applebee's in their costumes still ha ha) we joined up with all the siblings on that side of my family who are still in town and Grandma D for lunch. Antics galore. I laughed so hard I cried. I love you Nickoli, good luck in Virginia!
Nick forcing Kristin into a picture, which she was desperately trying to avoid:
West, Jes, Brenna, Sam:
Cas and Brynn:
Cali and Tayler (who has recently acquired the trait of making faces for the camera)
Grandma D, Kristin (who's trying to ignore the fact that a picture is being taken), Nick:
Me, West, Jes:
And torturing Uncle Nick with MORE pictures, but boy are we going to miss him. The girls went crazy when he showed up at our house, they were so excited to see him again.

Such a great pic of Nick and the kids! Def. need a copy of that!
That's an awesome story! I think everyone needs a "Nick" in their lives - someone to love em' through the hard times and get em' off their butts and out to realize that live moves on! I'm sad that there wasn't a picture of the two of you together - it would be easier to see the "twin-ness" that way - but it does look like he could be your twin! What a great friend!
I'll see if I can find one and add it :) we used to take a lot of self shots, just goofing around, but my computer's crashed since then so I don't know how many survived.
