Three Brothers

I would like to introduce you all to Three Brothers. midMan, wearing the helmet, Jeff, on the green 4-wheeler, and Eric in the middle.

You have all met my midMan and know that he completes me. I am so blessed to have him in my life. He is also the oldest brother of the Three, and I believe he is the quietest. If he could, he would hang out next to the wall watching what the world is doing and taking it all in. He will never put himself in the center of attention, ever. He is so even keeled that he rarely let's anything get him upset or mad. He will go along with whatever anyone else decides to do and really, really hates to make any decision. He likes to just go with the flow.

Now to introduce you to brother number Two, Jeff. He is the one that is always on the go and ready to always be moving. He has a dream to someday host, 'Jeffrey D. Outdoors", and even has a few episodes already filmed, much to the laughter and joy of his entire family. He loves to grow his garden and is quite successful at that, I wish mine was doing as good as his, he definitely has a green thumb, maybe even his whole arm. He loves his children and enjoys taking them with him to the mountains when ever he is not working. He loves to build things but does not have the patience to plan it out. He is midMan's best friend.

Last, but definitely not least, here is Eric. the baby. He is six years younger than midMan so they really did not get close until they were adults. Eric loves computers, his 4-wheeler, fishing, and he is a really good cook. He is content to spend time on his computer or sitting back enjoying a day of fishing. He and his wife enjoy long rides on the weekends exploring the world around them. He is the father of 4 great kids and the step-father of an additional four more. He loves and cares for each of them and wants to see the best for his kids.

These Three Brothers love to spend time together. The only problem is that a few years ago they all spread their wings and moved away from each other. We all started out in St. George, UT. midMan and I then moved to Cedar City, and Eric and his family moved to Payson soon after. Jeff and his wife finally made the big decision and moved to Salina. We are spread all over the place. The last time they were all able to get together was at Easter, when we all met up at Jeff's house in Salina.

We have spent so many years doing everything together that it has been a big adjustment for us all to not have each other right around the corner. I think the Three Brothers only realize this when they do get together and have to say goodbye, again. We have all been blessed with our families and we never realize how important they are until they are not there every day, until they are gone and we can't say goodbye or I love you. These Three Brother know this and they cherish the moments they get to spend together. They laugh, they remember, they share, they grow. THEY LOVE.

Love to All,

midRae
