About two years ago, I read a book by Nicholas Sparks called Three Weeks with My Brother. It is his only non-fiction work, and it tells the story of a trip he took with his brother and the way it drew them closer together. Ever since reading it, I’ve wanted to take a trip with my own two brothers, but was hesitant to suggest it; I’m their sister, after all, and, well, I thought they might consider it weird! However, I never could get it out of my mind. So, finally, I asked them and they said “Sure, let’s do it!”
I couldn’t have been more surprised or delighted!
So, I’m writing you from Santa Fe, New Mexico, in a little casita that houses my two brothers and me. I’ll be posting some pictures soon and sharing some thoughts, but I wanted to at least touch base since this last week has been all about the giveaway (for another chance go HERE) and its amazing blessings.
I’m spending four days with my brothers. It may not be a memoir in the making, but it’s sure to strengthen the ties that bind.
Important ties.
Heart ties.
Melinda, have a wonderful time with your brothers! Bet you will build some memories to treasure for years to come. Blessings to you all!
That’s wonderful! Have a great time!!
Blessings

Hi, first time here, but I want to say I think that this trip idea is great. I have one brother who might be willing to do that with me, the other two, not so much, but that’s OK. Your blog is lovely.
That’s fantastic! What a great idea! I can’t wait to hear all about it! Love you CSF, L
I just spent four days with my brother. It was such a blessing. It was so fun to return to the place where we began life together. I feel our ties were strenghtened during our trip.
Miss you!
Love, Jen
Great time to make memmories, Can’t wait to see the pictures.

Melinda,
IS God just not THE best? I just finished yesterday on the beach, “The Last Lecture”, and the one thing that hit my heart is that it never hurts to ask. NEVER EVER.
And because YOU asked your two brothers, you are NOW enjoying the precious answer to the very question you asked. How awesome is that?
Love ya, and enjoy this time, very precious!
I think this sounds wonderful!
Praying for you!
