Wes's Homecoming

Wes my little brother came home from his mission last Friday. His homecoming was definitely good it had been almost four years since we last saw each other. When I said goodbye to Wes I told him I did not want to see him for four years because I wanted him on his mission before I came home. He served an honorable two year mission in Concepcion Chile. When he walked off the plane he kept commenting on how big everyone had gotten and he looks at me and goes, "You have gotten smaller!" We both had a good laugh over that. It was good seeing Wes and hearing about his experiences that he had in Chile. My favorite was how he described electric showers. Wes also sounded like a latino for the first couple of days and we all had a good laugh listening to his english and his grammar. He is an amazing guy and it is very nice having him home. I do not think he understands just how much I look up to him and admire him. If you looked at us side by side you would say Wes was the older sibling and I would agree with that statement. The way he acts and holds himself is something that I have always admired about him. He truly is an amazing younger brother and when I think of Wes I am always drawn to the story of Nephi in the Book of Mormon. I love him very much and I am grateful that we will be at school together this upcoming year so we can hang out and so I can finally see him play baseball in almost five years. Another cool part with Wes coming home was the opportunity of seeing all of my nieces and nephews. I love all of them and this trip was the first time that Luke actually came to me when I called him and he gave me a hug. Luke is Cari's son and he is the cutest kid ever with his sweet hair. Anyways enjoy the pictures. We also golfed at Deer Creek which was pretty sweet and I hit the ball pretty well for the first time in over a year.

About Time

Well I guess it is about that time to update my blog. I have no idea if anyone even checks this thing but nonetheless it needs to be updated. I found out that I did not get into either the accounting program or the management program at BYU. I have decided then to focus on my minor which I decided is going to be Economics and try to become a certified Actuary. I will be reapplying to the management school for next year and hopefully in three years I will have a Finance major, Econ minor, and I am a certified Actuary. I know lofty goals but I got to be diverse in this economic mess. To help me along in my school studies mom and dad and with the help of Cari and Seth found me a sweet laptop from Best Buy. I must say it was a steal it is an HP lots of memory and RAM and it has a web cam built in which is fabulous. Work is still there annoying but there. I am pretty fed up with Deer Creek and all of their antics. I do like working at LionsGate with Brent and Jacque again. You can see the difference in servers and management pretty quickly. Wes comes home in a few days and it will have been just about three years and nine months since I last saw him. I am so stoked to finally see him after this long time apart. The last memory I have of him is when I entered the MTC and we hugged we cried and I told him that I did not want to see him in four years. I am also excited to hear his latino accent and see if he can speak english again. Everything else is going well biking to work everyday has its upside my legs are getting better and the minimal fat that I did have on me is all gone so I am 2x's ripped. Life is good and I am excited to get back up to BYU so Emily and I can finally be together after this long summer. Loves all around.
