I FREAKIN LOVE MY FAMILY! yes, it's true. i've never realized it like i've begun to now. being away from them, especially as they're all growing up and i want to be a part of that experience, has really given me some perspective on the matter.
in one short hour i will be reunited with my beloved parents and dear mischievous brother, who is entering the mtc for his fijian mission in two days (hence the short utah vacation). and in case you couldn't tell, i'm so incredibly excited to see them! we've got plans to eat at places that reach beyond my collegiate budget, see some sights that require the car i don't have, and visit some friends that we haven't seen for a couple years. basically, this is the highlight of my summer thus far and by far.
really, i love my family so much. each member of it has become worthy of the title "best friend". we've got each others' backs, and are all deeply invested in each others' lives and personal success.
it's the most marvelous feeling to rely on a group of people so entirely, without a shadow of a doubt. ever.
family, this post goes out to you. i love you the most! (even though you try to hijack my bed when i'm not there.)
just remember, whatever terrible thing is happening, you've always got nine other people around to back you up.
that last picture?
