Texas McAllen

Hey now Texas, what a classy missionary you'll be getting.
P.S. Check out the video here.

Just a few things that have happened over the past few weeks/months that i've neglected to tell you:

• I got out of school. First year of highschool-done.
• I bought loads of makeup because I'm an addict and enabler. 
• I went on vacation.
• I wrote to a missionary to the horror of my sister. I refused to read her the letter. 
• I took a friend to breakfast and spilled Kneaders on my pants.
• I got my drivers license. 
• I went on my first date.
• I realized that my brother was going to be leaving for two years. 
• I cried a little about that. 

Brother, brother

When you're favorite brother turns 18.

You should celebrate.

You're just my best friend.

Highschool's a hard time.

When I feel as though I am the second choice of so many. 

And the last choice of some too. 

When I feel as though friendships are dropping like flies. 

I am so grateful for my brother.

Who is my best friend.

Who tells me that he would punch anyone who looked at me wrong.

And asks me for advice on what shoes he should wear.

Who lets me pick whatever I want to listen to on the radio.
And is my best friend.

Mister Jeffrey

Short and sweet sounds good to me:

Jeffrey is my brother.

He is now 17.

It's an understatement to say that he's my hero. 

fashion statements

This is my "Don't mess with me, I stayed up late studying for biology and now will rip your head off if you even so much as glance in my direction" outfit. It's also the "It's the weekend and I don't care so I'm going to look like a slob and watch disney channel movies" outfit. I guess the fashion bug is going around because my brother shaved his head which is almost as fantastic as those sandals with those socks. I guess his might be a little bit better of a cause because he did it in support of my aunt who has breast cancer, but my cause is still pretty noble. those sandals love my feet and my toes feel lonely without them. Have a good week kids. This weekend was a mess. A good one.
