I have one older brother, Frank. He just turned 31 so he's 2.5 years older than me. We were very close growing up. We of course had our fights, but they never lasted for very long. He was (and still is) very protective of me. In High school I didn't really every have any boyfriends cause my Big brother scared all the guys away. And if that wasn't bad enough, all of his friends became my "adoptive big brothers" too. They still act like they are now too!

But it was nice to have when I had a problem!
My brother and I are still really really close even though we're "grown ups" now. He's married and has 2 of the most awesome little boys you'll ever meet. We still goof around like we're 12 and he's still really protective of me! When he met my DH for the first time, I think he grilled him more than my Dad did! I don't think he liked the fact that my DH was older than he was! LOL He got over it though! I'm really proud of my big brother! He has grown up to be quite a great man (when he actually acts like a grown up- he'll always be a kid at heart! LOL)
