Hmmm....

So I was looking at this and realized it has been awhile since I posted and was wondering if I even should continue posting because I don't know how many people actually care about what I have to write... Maybe I should follow my sister's idea and do an update of what has happened during the week for my familia and make it private... I don't know.  But on the plus side, my little sister got married yesterday and it was a beautiful day for them!!! She looked lovely and so happy.  Rick looked pretty happy too!!!  And I finally have two little brothers :)  Congrats to Jess and Rick and hopefully they will have many more adventures together!

Generation Gap?

So things here lately have been very interesting to watch.  I always knew they were happening but lately they seem to be taking on a new light.  I always knew that since I was the oldest, things would be very different by the time my brother left the house.  I guess I thought that as my siblings got older, there would be less "baby sitting" to do.  Boy was I wrong!!!

Even now as I am writing this, things are radically different from the time that I was in high school.  I remember having a bed time (usually about 9pm) where I had to be in my room and then I would read until the lights had to be out at 10pm.  I never resented that because I recognized that it helped me be successful in school.  I knew it wouldn't last forever and there wasn't much I was missing out on since my siblings usually had to be to bed by 8:30pm.

Fast forward five years, and my brother is still out with my dad who is playing basketball, my mom is at a meeting, my sisters are still not in bed and still have homework to do for tomorrow.  Did I miss something here?  I love having siblings that are older since they seem to be a lot funnier in general and can do a few more things but seriously... not in bed at 10pm.  This proves that there truly is a generation gap, even between siblings that are five years apart.  I wonder what will happen in the next five years.

That Awkward Moment When...

So tonight, I went to renew my temple recommend. No big deal. I get to the right place and wait until they are ready. They call the first two people in and I sit and wait. The other girl waiting and I chat and talk about random things. Again nothing extraordinary. Then they call my name to go in... and as soon as I stand up,y earring decides to snag in my sweater and I am stuck with my head slightly tilted. Then after the handshake comes the crazy process of trying to discretely untangle the earring from the sweater. Well I succeeded at making it so the sweater pulled out my earring and made it not so discrete. But in the end it was a funny moment that kept me entertained.
