My Famous Baby Brother. NBD.

Check it out.
My little brother is on my church's website!
And if you don't know, my church is worldwide. Literally.
When I lived in Ghana I went to my church there and learned the same principles that I would have in the U.S.
My point being...people all over the world will see him.

So you can too!

Ok...so maybe his picture is kinda small...and he's blurred out...
But I am still proud of him!
And what this represents.
He gets up crazy early every morning and attends our church's "bible study" class, which we call seminary.
All before he goes to high school.
what. a. stud. 



If you want to see it on the actual site go here.

I'm in Texas!

I'll post pictures when I return!

Right now I'm just enjoying hanging out with my family, especially my little nephew.

He calls me "Taytee."

Adorable.

But the best is that he calls my little brother, Sammy, "Zappy!"

Don't forget it's Easter Weekend!

so far in D.C...

I have been in Washington, D.C. since Friday evening. Good news and bad news. Bad news: I have allergies and I am not feeling so hot. Good news: My entire family is here! My parents and my two little brothers from Atlanta, me and my older brother from Provo, and my oldest brother, sister-in-law, and nephew from here in D.C.!

Its been a blast so far. My family is awesome.

The reason for us being here: my oldest brother's graduation with a Masters from George Washington University. 

Basically, he is awesome.  

Saturday was ceremony number one, and instead of going, my 15-year-old brother and I babysat our nephew. Right in downtown D.C. Super awesome.

We took him to the American Indian Museum.  I saw a lot of people doing double-takes.

Baby, me, baby, Sam, baby, me, baby, Sam.

It was pretty funny. 

Here are a few pics from our outing:

[Yeah, I know, I have the cutest nephew in the world. What of it?]

Then today I actually went to my brother, Steve's, graduation ceremony. 

It was on the front lawn of our nation's capitol. 

Can't get much better than that. 

We were a little bit worried.

Why you ask?

The forecast for the entire day: Thunder storms.

We lucked out though! 

We ended up having to move our chairs away from the blaring sun!

Congrats, Steve!

I love you big bro!

[Sorry, this was the best one we got. Also, the Washington Monument is behind us. Above my head. Too bad you can't see it better.]

Stay tuned for an adventurous day in D.C., then my trip to Atlanta!

P.S. Before I left I went skating with some friends. Ummm...so much fun!

Anyone else do random things with their friends?

p.p.s Wow this is a really long post!

The Life of A Delta Employee's Daughter

Ok. I admit it. I am an airline brat. I can fly anywhere, anytime.

Its great.

But that’s not what I’m here to tell you.

I am here to tell you that in one weekend I went to St. George AND Atlanta, Georgia (that’s where I got the airline brat thing). Here is what I did:

Drove 3 hours

Hiked a mountain

No wait, hiked two mountains

Almost died on the second mountain

Drove 3 more hours

Slept for 2 Hours

Went to the Airport

Flew for 3 ½ hours

Partied it up in HOT-lanta

Polar-Bear swam in the pool

Got even less sleep

Flew 3 ½ more hours

Went straight to class

All in 3 days. I love my life.

Blessed

The Lord has blessed me so much in my life. I do not recognize this as much as I should. I have the most amazing family that cares immensely about me. I get to see them all within a week, it will be the first time we are all together for Christmas in quite a while. I can’t wait!

I go to the most amazing university in the entire world, and I have no idea how I got accepted. I get to take amazing classes that prepare me for the secular world of careers, and I also get to learn about Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and their gospel—in my classes!

I have the most amazing roommates, and I am incredibly sad that Carrie will be leaving next semester. But I am looking forward to my new roommate, and more experiences with Jen, Ahlin, Leah, and Sarah. Love you girls!

My best friend is a wonderful example to me. Today he hit his year mark on his mission. He willing is giving two years of his life, putting back education and a career, to serve the Lord. I am so blessed to be such good friends with him. I’m so proud of him!

I have been kind of a brat about my family moving. Seems silly to even care since I don’t live with them anymore, but Minnesota meant so much to me and it was sad to see my family leave it forever. But this move is such a blessing to my family. My dad was able to keep a job in this rocky economy. My parents were able to get a beautiful house. I was able to have a wonderful job this summer that ended up blessing more people than just me. Heavenly Father knew what He was doing when He wanted my family to move.

I am so blessed. :)
