Love My Brother!

I guess I love a lot of things lately... so I miss my family terribly, but thanks to technology I can talk to them whenever I want... or at least when they respond :) so I had the following conversation with Riley today through texting...

Riley:

How is life?

Me:

life's good but crazy I just want school to be

over so that I can relax and focus on work

Yeah that would be nice but hey this kid is

going to bchigh and getting and iPad3

congrats but this kid is parent free and has a

MacBook pro and a job booyah! beat that!

okay this kid is parent forgotten aka middle

child (pretty much the same as parentless) I

am a middle school senior. I have a job this

summer. oh yeah and an iPad3

boyahhhahahaha

oh yeah? what's your job huh? do you get to

wear scrubs? didn't think so! oh and did I

mention I have a car and two houses to live

in this summer boo to the yah!

uncles that are super cool to hang out with on

the 4th of july! I have a life all my own!

Allrighty then

haha no you have a pretty cool life too

Thanks

So then a couple hours later I went to my Intro to Family Processes class. There my professor taught us about competitive communication and highlighted one-up-manship. Well thanks to my playful conversation with Riley today I had a ripe example to learn from.

I love my brother he is finally taller than me and all around bigger than me. He is the "big brother" that I have always wanted. And in addition to that he is super protective of my sisters and me, which I think is very cute and I appreciate so much! (Even this far away from him)

Love my Job!

I am so lucky! I have a brand new job that I absolutely love. I am a technician at Excel Eye Center of Lehi. Basically I take patients back and do all the preliminary stuff before the doctor comes in and takes over. And an added plus is that I get to wear scrubs everyday which are super comfortable... this girl ain't complaining about a thing.

For all of you back home in Boston, I am sad to say that I won't be coming home except for short vacations. It's kind of weird that I am establishing a life of my own out here. I have places to live and a job that I will have until who knows when. It is odd to think of me permanently in Utah until I get married/finish school/something drastic happens. I feel old; a grown up that has things to think about every day. How did I get here so fast?
