Isn't it about time?

I love my family so much. I love my sisters and my older brother, and I absolutely adore my parents. I want to marry someone just like my dad. Some may consider me to be a nerd. But I just have to say it. I love them.

I also love all my cousins. They're such good examples to me, especially Alex. I'm glad that Jared's going on a mission. I love that I can look at my older cousin's lives to see how I might shape my own life. My aunts and uncles are the coolest people in the world. I love talking to them and I love the feeling that I'm loved and that we're all in this together.

I have awesome grandparents as well. They are so wise and they teach me so many things. I am so grateful to them for the way they raised my parents, and the values they instilled in them, which are in turn instilled in me.

The best part about this? I know I'm going to be with my family forever.

Treachery, deceit and...fruit snacks?

I like this new game, guys! It's a little bit like poker, without the gambling...you know, you have to keep a poker face? And I think one of the rules should be that it's okay to mislead others. Make them think you have them when you really don't, or vice versa. (And Hannah, I think Mark has them. I couldn't get Matt to talk. But I'll still work on it.)
