too much happiness.
Reasons why this week is great:
1. Clara finds out what they're having on FRIDAY. (Boy? Girl? Alien quadruped? Who knows! It's all part of the mystery. Aren't babies FUN.)
2. We get to Skype with The Precious Young Man on Sunday. So not only do we get to talk to TPYM, we get to see him. The insanity of this preciousness blows your mind, I know.
Oh, and I believe it's also Christmas. So there's that to add to it all.
Carry on.

the precious young man strikes again.
Letter from Derek yesterday, a snippet:
"I love writing to you! You're my sister but you're also one of my best friends."
Not only is this adorable in itself since Derek isn't the most expressive person in the world (wonder where he gets that ::::cough:::::), but he used "you're" correctly.
Ain't never been prouder.

top ten thursday: my brother.
Yeah yeah, you hear about him a lot. Deal with it.
Top Ten Thursday: Reasons Why I Love My Brother/He is Awesome.
1. He can always make me laugh and has the best sense of humor.
2. He is extremely smart and knows what he wants in life; we used to call him The Professor because he was always saying, "Did you know...?" And 9/10 times, we didn't.
3. He takes the time to listen to me and talks to me about books, ideas, funny things, the military, and how we would survive the zombie apocalypse.
4. He has awesome ambitions. (Marine officer, JAG lawyer, etc.)
5. He is himself and doesn't let other people influence him.
6. He is strong in the Church and does what is right because it's part of him.
7. He makes me a better person for knowing him and is a great example.
8. He is positive and doesn't let dumb things get in his way.
9. He is thoughtful, insightful, and loving.
10. He is my best friend.

the graduate.
Today was Derek's big day: He graduated from high school AND got his mission call within hours of each other. This membrane doth be insane, ya'll. Graduation was fun though with everyone. It brought back so many memories of my own graduation just six years ago, and how I got to "walk down the aisle" during the processional/recessional with my middle/high school crush, a Mr. C. Anderson. Yup. It was completely random and everything, how we lined up to walk in. When we linked arms to walk down together he was all, Hey Rach, and I was all, "Hey." How I was inside: afjnasdufadjfnjk!!knsafdkn!. Or some approximation. He was so handsome.
Anyway. Back to Derek. I am tired so here are just a few pics from graduation. I'll post mission-call-opening ones later.
1. Me, Derek, Cara, Clarence, Grandma and Grandpa Spohn.
2. Derek and cutest Abby.
3. Me and Cub.
4. Me and Bud.
5. Derek, Dad, and Mom.
6. We went to P.F. Chang's afterward, and this was my mini Great Wall of Chocolate dessert. Yum!
