Tonight my brother graduates from college with his Bachelor's Degree in Business. Hard to believe that he's already at that age. Sometimes I still think of him as the little boy that won the cutest toddler contest at our local Walmart when he was 2 or on our first day of school when he started kindergarten and I made sure he got to his classroom without getting lost or as the teenager who took my high school challenge to heart and had perfect attendance for all four years (I missed one day junior year, dangit!).
Soon he will officially enter the real world, a world where he will be fully responsible for himself, a world where you worry more about salary negotiations, medical benefits, and 401k plans rather than who's bringing the beer and snacks over for a random weeknight night party.
I am extremely proud of him and all of his accomplishments so far and I know he will continue to do many great things and go many places! Being the big sister that I am I do have to offer him one last piece of advice before he takes the plunge -- it's a quote by Henry David Thoreau,
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
Congratulations Ryan!

I know you will Bro. But just think, now you have the time to put together coordinated spreadsheets for all of your events. :)
