He's Just Fun




Can I just say I probably have the coolest brother ever? He seriously cracks me up. And even though I'm horrible about writing him (although when I do write, I try to make it extra fun to make up for my terrible lack of consistent contact), he continues to send our family a sweet, informative and usually hilarious email each week.


You would not believe the things he does out in Maryland (on his mission). Swinging on tree vines (very Tarzan-esque), catching snapping turtles, walking 15 miles a day with his companion and oh yes, icing on the cake, they sure did shoot and kill a dove with a slingshot and proceed to skin and EAT it. EW. That's just wrong! I have pictures if you don't believe it, just ask. And yet ... I really wasn't that surprised when I found out. haha. It was very ... Lance. (Not the animal cruelty, just the doing of bizarre and unexpected activities.) We love him for his craziness.
Yes, I know - You only wish your brother was as good as mine. Too bad. I'm not trading.

Here we go ...

Alright - I realize this is how everyone's first blog is but ... Who am I to break tradition? I have finally succumbed to the threats of my blogger friends and family and have created a blog. You will be thrilled and amused as I post the extremely wild and crazy details of our lives and activities. Movies watched ... Weekend trips ... What I made for dinner last Tuesday ... the sheer excitement of our lives will shock and astound you.

Stay tuned and prepare to be amazed ...
