An important relationship in my life is my relationship with my cousin Brady. We've known each other all of our lives since we are related. Our dads own a drafting company together so we see his family often. We never became good friends though until 2005 when I lived with his family for three weeks while my brother was in the hospital and my parents were staying with him. Brady let me use his room while offering to sleep in his brother's room on the floor. Ever since that we've been good friends because we have so much in common.
When we hang out, Brady and I love to play Monopoly. He has over 10 different types of Monopoly so we always love trying out new versions. We also both work for our dads' company during the summer so it's fun to see him at work often while I'm working even though we do different jobs. Brady and I also go to the same church and are involved in the same youth group so that gives us opportunities to hang out at least once a week. We go on our church retreats together where we always have an awesome time doing fun things like playing spoons. We are also in our youth worship band together where I play the piano and he sings so we have a blast doing that. I really appreciate that Brady and I share the same beliefs because we know we can talk to each other about what we're going through and trust the advice from each other. We can encourage each other to focus on what's really important in life, our relationship with God.
Brady and I also have gone to visit our Aunt and Uncle for the last 3 years in New Jersey and we always have so much fun while we're there. We hang out at the beach, play games and just have a fun time with our aunt and uncle and without our parents. Lastly, Brady and I go to the same school and we are in the same physics and gym class and lunch so I usually see him in those classes and we talk during that time.
If Brady and his family moved to Alaska my life would be very different. I would not have an always friendly face at church and youth group, band practice would not be as colorful and physics would be even more boring. I really enjoy being friends with Brady because he can always make me laugh and he always includes me and looks out for me. We would probably still talk on facebook like we usually do, but we couldn't text like we usually do or talk in person or on the phone. I would miss him a lot if he and his family moved away. I am very blessed to have an awesome cousin like Brady.
