My parent left town and left me to be the guardian and care taker of my dog. He is cute flat faced pug but also very needy. He has to be touching a person at all times. Rarely does my mood every match his. It's weird, it's like I am never in the mood to run around the house like a crazy person. Where has all my energy gone? Sometimes, I look at the my little kid friends and become jealous of their stamina. The other day, Kaliegh ran circles around me for ten minutes saying, 'can we do it now, can we do it now...' How can she do it that? I want that!
Today is Sam's birthday! He is 26 years old! What what! When he got back from his mission, he started school at BYU. We practically started at the same time. And for awhile, before my parents made the exodus to the lovely deseret, he was all I had. It seemed like, as the youngest child, I was always wanting to grow up so that my siblings could see me as a competent, intelligent peer. Finally, I had been given this chance to prove to Sam that I was just like him. Once i got over this complex of mine, I learned to appreciate everything that Sam was and is and I enjoyed so much, watching him grow up and find the woman of his dreams. And while I am happy for him that he has a job and lives in Oregon with Lizzy-baby, I miss him and wish he were here to laugh with and give me advice. Is this public enough? Happy Birhday big brother!

I miss the stamina, too. Every once in a while, when I walk up the stairs, I remember how as a kid I always ran up the stairs on all fours. I wonder when I stopped.
We should have an Act Like You Used To Day, where we run everywhere.
Also, Happy Birthday to Sam.
love sam!
I would like to add my stamp of approval (?)
Is it the stamina that is mission? Or the social acceptance of a 22 year old woman running around the house. Riddle me that.
[in my case it's the stamina. I'm just saying]
Happy Bee day Samuel. Liz's very own [white] Lamanite.
above, when I wrote mission, I meant to write 'missing.' Freudian slip?
Good thing I'm vain and like to read and re-read things I write so I catch errors like that. Also good thing I'm not one of those people who copies their comment, then deletes the entire thing, pastes it into the comment window, fixes the error and re-publishes it. It's good for people [paul]'s self esteem to know that I have imperfections too.
I don't quite understand how samuel is being likened to a lamanite
Many thanks for the nice note (as public as it may have been). You have always been a very good girl Sydney, and all of the service you've done over the past few years is sufficient evidence of that.
I'm looking forward to see my native land at Christmas time and spend time with the family. Should be nice.
Love
sam are we not going to see you at thanksgiving?
Chaela it's just too predictable.
Thanks for taking such good care of the monster. We sure miss him, and you of course. That picture was from our last trip to Europe. It would have been fun if you could of been here. You would have loved the haag. Happy day sammy!
