Missionary brother


So my brother left for his mission this week.  We weren't able to go out and see him before he left, which made me really sad.  But it is ok. I will see him in two years.  In the meantime I am running a blog for him.  Which I haven't mentioned to him yet... I think he said I could.... Anyway.  He is in the Mexico MTC right now and will be serving in the Kennewick, Washington Mission.  I am way proud of him.  Incredibly proud.  This is the brother that was more like my best friend for half my life.  He would do anything with me.  Go see movies (even if they were little kid animated movies), rock climb, drive me around and hug me when I was crying, watch weird SciFi shows with me, debate whatever either of us was learning about in class.  I texted him on a regular basis.  He's also a computer genius so he would help me out with that since I am technologically retarded.  It will be strange to only be able to talk to him through letters. 
Anyway.  I am still tweaking the blog so that the links work and such. I am not the best at html (reading it or otherwise) but I am trying.  Here is the link-----> Elder Jon Myers


So in other news.  I went to a farmers market today and got way too much.  It was so good though... and pretty dang cheap.  The market was so tiny compared to others I have been to.  I got so many peaches! I love peaches almost as much as i love bees.  I love peaches enough that I have this romantic idea of what Georgia is like and I feel like I need to live there.  For the peaches and the bees and the trees. This farmers market had both peaches and bees.  Heaven.  So I bought a basket of peaches and some new honey.  Local honey is the way to go.  I also bought a zucchini the size of a small child for a dollar.  Awesome.  Local food is the way to go apparently.

Temple Date

 Yesterday was very busy.  But what else is new.  Dennis worked for forever and then he had a soccer game and then we went out to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.  It was super fun.  We went with friends and then played games.

Never know what temporal days may bring...

Laugh, love, live free and sing.
When life is in discord, 
praise ye the Lord.
So this week has progressively gotten more crazy.  I picked up another two hours a day for work with a new kid.  Also, Dennis and I went to Warped Tour.
Totally my scene right?  Wrong.  Booty shorts, ill fitting lace sports bras, and beer bellies are not my scene.  But Dennis favorite band since childhood has decided to retire.  This was supposed to be their last show near us.  Ever. However, they announced at the show that they would be playing one more that they hadn't announced yet.  So we were at Warped Tour from 1 to 7.  The band played for a half hour at 5.  We were super close to the front.  Dennis got a poster and a Polaroid signed. We made creepy friends in the insanely long ATM line and slushie line.  We ran into his cousin and his wife there too.  So even though we were there forever, it was still fun. Oh so the band?  Its Anberlin.  Dennis has been die hard since he was about 12. They've been going since 2002.





So.  That was our Satuday.  Dennis may have almost died from happiness that day.
