What Will I Do Without My Big Bro??!!

That was one looong graduation!


We went out to dinner before and then got shaved ice afterwards

As many of you know, Alex is leaving for college in a couple of days. I always knew he would be leaving at the end of this year but it never really hit me that I wouldn't have an older brother around until this past week. I am so used to him always being there for me and he is such an important part of our family. He really helps to hold the family together and he is the best example to me and my other siblings that an older brother could be. I will miss his hugs and funny comments everyday. Its weird how all the sudden I have the responsibility of being the oldest kid in the house. On top of that, I will have to always make sure I am close by to help control my Mom's frequent "crying episodes" :). I love Alex so much and I hope that I can be as good of an example to the younger siblings as he has been for me.

Summer Has Arrived!!

I can't believe how fast this year has gone by! My second year of Highschool was much better than the first and I have had so many new experiences. I'm so grateful for great friends who make everything a blast. This summer is going to be amazing, here are my plans:
  • Spend a week in Cali visiting my best friend there (beach, shopping, ect.)
  • A week at girl's camp as a YCL! super excited
  • 2 weeks in Utah with Whit and family! (arriving june 2nd)
  • Me and Whit are going to EFY in Logan for one of those 2 weeks... CANT WAIT
  • After that I have about 2 weeks left until school starts, I'll just be hanging out by the pool getting a tan, with friends and family, nannying and shopping.
  • OH and how could I forget?! I'll be FINALLY turning 16 a few days berfore school starts!

I'm going to be busy going from place to place and all together gone for about half the summer (we only have 2 months off) but I am so excited and I know this summer will be one of my favorites. I especially can't wait to be able to spend time with friends and family that I haven't seen for WAY TOO LONG! Summer... here I come!
