Today we had a fun Brotherhood gathering. The Carters were in town for a week or so, so we got together for an afternoon hamburger BBQ. Don't let the downpours fool you, no amount of rain could dampen this groups spirits. We did all the usual Brotherhood activities, as you can see, including spooning...it just wouldn't be a b-hood get together without it. We also did something new. All of the boys have been asking who Joie's Godfather is (because we have Godparents in our religion and all). We decided it would be cute to give Joie a brotherhood Godfather since they really are as close as family. We wrote up a really funny Godfather contract (including donations to Joie's college fund and approval of Joie's future spouse) and put everyones name in a hat and chose by process of elimination. We drew one name at a time and the last name in the hat would be the Godfather and the second to last name would be the runner-up in case the Godfather could not be there for some reason or another. Matt Reynolds was chosen as the Godfather, which makes Brianna Reynolds her Godmother. Craig Swindlehurst is the runner-up Godfather which will make his future wife Godmother runner-up whenever they get married. I know its silly but thats just how we roll....we really are closer than family. I want to move so badly whenever Andrew graduates but it will be so hard to leave such amazing friends. Love you guys!
ummmm.... rriigghhtt... look at this pic in your post with the "Gay Train"... same as at the wedding... same as in high school...
ReplyDeleteNo, these guys were always funny... and a little gay. and a little weird ;) They're like the most random bunch of hooligans, right? (PS- who says "hooligans" these days?!)
Such a random group of fruitcakes, but they've had so much fun and taken care of each other over the years. I do have to say though, that Low was always my fave ;) don't tell. PPS- I never called him Andy in my whole life... just Low.
