Wanted to post some images of Rachel and Nathan’s special day.

So we have some new stuff we want to discuss. We welcome Nathan as a new brother in-law, and we look forward to welcoming Casey as another new brother in-law in a few weeks. We also snagged a new camera that takes great photos. And to accommodate the new amazing photos and HD videos, we have a new layout on McBlog. What do you think? Like it?

Pictures of fun stuff is coming soon, when Joy transfers me some picts or when she gets back, until then I have lots of time to sit around and think about things, which is cool, b/c I usually don’t get so bored that I say.. hmm I should think. To illustrate that I’m including this great short little speech about TIME. It’s been animated by a great company who I’m starting to really like. Take some time to watch this sch-peel on time. Coming soon, the speech about motivation.

Joy, we need to get Chase doing this each morning.

With most of you who are usually over for family dinner… just wanted to remind you what your choices have BOOM random edit, end post.

I am feeling a little bit bewildered about the changes that will occur this summer. With 2 sisters getting married, you can imagine there’s a lot of drama, chaos, sadness, happiness, uneasiness, and excitement in the air. Things are going to change…

We won’t have sister bonding time nearly as often.

Or Sunday evenings filled with food, chatter, and ninja star throwing.

But one thing that I know will stay the same is the length our giraffe-like necks! Some things never change.

Happy 29th Birthday, Pace!

I truly am sorry that Charlotte (& Chase) didn’t get the memo that it was your birthday and didn’t let anyone sleep ‘til 3am. I wish you could have gotten sleep for your birthday… But you got some awesome patience practice and strengthening instead! We’re gonna miss this….

We are glad you’re in our family! We really appreciate your sense of humor and all of your manly skills that you share with us. We’re all so excited when you come home from work, because we love you and know that you love us. Thanks for all your hard work. Happy birthday!

Early this morning, I realized that it was my last day of school. Unfortunately, I had no idea when or where my last final was going to be held. I had emailed and called the teacher and frantically searched the internet for information, to no avail. But I couldn’t waste any more time figuring out when the test was going to be, because I really needed to study– I hadn’t even started studying for the final yet! Also, our apartment was about to have a cleaning check. I tried to convey the urgency of the situation to my roommates (including Jessica’s friend Adella), who were sprawled out watching TV, chomping on candy & carelessly tossing the wrappers on the ground. No empathy from them. Adding to my great stress was the fact that I really needed to tie up all these loose ends quickly, before catching a flight back home to California in just a few hours!

And when I woke up there was nothing but relief…. Ah, it was just all a dream. Although I wasn’t completely pain-free at that point, because upon waking, I found that the inside of my cheeks were extremely sore, because they had been gnawed on through all the anxiety of the nightmare.

SO here’s a SHOUT-OUT to Rachel, Jessica, Nathan, Tyler, Laura, and all the other current students that we know and love, who are living this nightmare in real life!!! Props to you.

Also, a shout-out to my dad who still has academic nightmares (much like this one) on a regular basis!
