Meet My Peeps: Reese

It’s another edition of Meet My Peeps today! Everyone say “Hello,

Reese

How do I know Reese?
Reeser is one of those lucky people that gets to call me family 😉 His mom and my mom are sisters, so he’s been stuck with me since we were weeee little tots.

What do I love about Reese?
Definitely how close we are and all the memories we have. Also the fact that he loves sports. It’s kinda fun, ’cause he’s always down to go to baseball games or play golf. But he’s super lazy and wants to watch tv all day, so that’s the not fun part. I also love the fact that I can tell him how annoying he is and he doesn’t get mad. I think when you read the next question you’ll also learn why I love him! And we both love our grandpa and are constantly sending each other funny things he says!

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Reese?
ALL THE COUNTLESS LAUGHS WE’VE HAD! I specifically remember one time we were at our grandpa’s playing video games in the basement. He did something or I just got frustrated at the game, and I started pulling his hair! Finally he got so annoyed at the fact I was pulling his hair that he started pulling mine and it just went back and forth forever. We laugh about it still to this day…i’m actually laughing as i’m typing. Because what kind of idiot cousins have a hair pulling stand off as 10 years old??? Also, we have this tradition where we (did pre food allergies) go get beefy five layer burritos at 3am from Taco Bell…don’t know how that started. Oh, we got “married” when we were little after I got a dress-up kit. Yes, uncle was the minister. We had the moms, we kissed, we toasted, we were five. And then wrote a sign saying “Just Divorced” on the back of the 4-wheeler a couple years ago and rode around like that for a couple days one summer.

What do I think is one fun fact about Reese?

He finally got a girlfriend. Just kidding Reeser, love you! I think a fun fact about him is that he was adopted from Romania. My aunt adopted him and his brother both from Romania…and they actually weren’t brothers there either. Also, Reese is an assistant coach at Iowa Western Community College, and undecided about where he’s going to coach next year. I’m super proud of Reese, because I don’t know anything more perfect for him!

Wahooo jump for joy!
