Time to brag about my big brother!!
Since I was a little girl, I have always adored my big brother. There are seven years between us, so I guess I have probably looked up to him since birth. Some of my favorite childhood memories include Mark. He was always "cool" in my eyes. He never let babysitting me hinder his social plans. He just took me along. Think how great his friends must have been to let me tag along... There are so many things I love about my big brother Mark. He is gentle and strong, non-judgemental, patient, handsome, giving, hard working, dedicated, loving, a wonderful uncle, step-daddy and husband. Mark is a field trial dog trainer with his own business in Bonham, TX. His dedication to his "clients" (OK dogs) and their owners, is amazing. I love watching Mark work his "clients." He has a very special gift, and it is amazing to watch.
The other thing about my brother that I love is his humble heart. He would never talk about his accomplishments. So, what kind of little sister would I be if I didn't take this opportunity to brag about him on my blog? This past weekend, Mark qualified for the 2007 Nationals when his "client" Diva won the open Mark was running her in. They will be heading to northern CA in November to see what The Diva can do! Congratulations!!!
Mark is the handsome tan guy on the right in the picture with Diva. And, the second picture is one of my most treasured photographs. I took this when Ainsley was almost two. She and I were visiting Mark, and she wandered up on the mound during one of his training sessions! PRICELESS.
Good luck at Nationals Mark and Diva!!!!
I love you,Your little sister...

Very sweet, Diana.
I have a big brother, Mark. He is eight years older and I adore him.
Wishing him the best as he competes with Diva!

What a loving tribute to your brother. I am sure he has loved having you for a little sis.
I am going to have to look up what a field trainer is. I am assuming that he teaches them to hunt. Go Diva!!!
Have a great weekend!

Sweet post. I always wished I had an older sibling to look up to.
The paisley background is gone on your page. This happened to another blog I just did, so if you want me to fix it, email me your blogger info again and I'll take care of it.
Have a great weekend.
