Happy Birthday Chad!

Chad probably doesn't remember this, but in 7th grade we were riding our bikes to the bus stop (yes we were awesome); and as we rode I said to Chad that I had been thinking about it, and I didn't think my parents were very close with their cousins anymore. So, I concluded, all grown-ups must lose touch with their cousins.

"But," I told him, "I think when we're old and married, we'll still be friends."

And Chad shrugged and said, "Yeah."

I'm glad I was right. Happy Birthday Cousin!

happy birthday chad! hahaha
that's nice that you still get along and still see each other. im only 16, but my cousins already live far from where i do, so we see each other very little and so when we do, we are not as close as we'd all like.

btw, i love the boots! they're cute :)

Sweet Chad, happy birthday!

I loved when you 2 were Mary and Joseph every year at the Guttery Christmas Eve.

So glad you and Chad decided to stay close cousins - I agree with your mom on that picture from Christmas - its one of my favorites. Love the cute hair. Sorry your closet smells like butt.

I love this POST! So sweet, I am so glad you are still close too. I am also glad that Chad and Rachel were here in Boston with me! Is it strange that if I had a copy of the first photo of the two of you little that I would blow it up and hang it on my wall? I really would.
p.s. I am being as careful as possible I always look around me to gauge my surroundings when alone and I say no to the thugs that ask me out (cause they are the only ones that do ask me out in this city). haha. MEOW
