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.
