HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN!

I can't believe that my baby sister is 14 and starting high school!! Here are 14 things I love about my Jenn!

1. She will just say and do the most random things that are SO FUNNY. I literally can't get through a conversation with this girl without laughing hysterically at least once. We talk a lot, so needless to say she keeps my life interesting!


2. She has such a great sense of style, something that I on the other hand was not blessed with. She helps me find cute outfits and will never hesitate to give me some constructive fashion criticism. If I had a dime for every time she's given me her judgment face followed by the classic "WHAT are you WEARING?!" I would have a lot of dimes...

3. She is a wonderful singer! I really don't think she realizes how good she is! I love that she's a little budding soprano, because the soprano section's totally where it's at! I'm not the least bit biased!

4. When Jenn is passionate about something she WORKS at it! She won't give up until the job is done! Whether it's tackling a song, perfecting an audition, or "beautifying" her room with 500 pictures of Justin Bieber, she works hard and won't give up!

5. She gives the best hugs. We also love to cuddle. We're always bed buddies when we go on family vacations.

6. We bring out each other's weird sides. I don't know what it is, but we do the weirdest things when we're together. Some of my personal favorites include: Googling how to annoy our sisters and using techniques such as: mooing every time they say our names, following them around the house, and trying to swim through the carpet. We've also: tied each other up, skyped each other from different parts of the house, made videos for people, and the list could just keep going and going...

7. She takes abuse well. Poor Jennifer always seems to be the one everyone taunts! Whether it's my friends (in particular Miss Sydney Gaver), her friends, little kid her family even, and so on, they all seem to find Jenn as an easy target. I don't know what it is about her but she takes it with a grain of salt. No worries Jenn, it's all out of love... most of the time.

Here she's being abused by McKenna Buhler. LOVE IT.


8. She is so so cute with little kids! They all just love her! It's the sweetest thing! I know she's going to make a great mom some day!

9. She is so beautiful! She is just gorgeous and has the prettiest smile! 
10. She's just so much fun to be with! Like, you can't be with Jenn and not have fun! She's always smiling (except for when she's in a bad mood, but ya know, it happens to the best of us), and ALWAYS makes me laugh!

11. We love all of the same T.V. shows, except for the weird ones on Disney Channel that she watches, but anyways we have all sorts of marathons and it's so fun! She even got me to watch half of Camp Rock once!

12. She's an absolutely amazing friend! Jenn and I are very different people, but we get along so well! She's truly one of my best friends! She's always there for me when I need to talk, and she's just so great! 

13. She has come to every single one of my performances. She has literally never missed a single one! I'm sure they can get pretty boring and I just love that she's always there for me! I can't wait to see her performances whenever I'm home next year!!

14. She's the best sister I could have ever wanted! I love you SO much Jenn and I hope you have an absolutely amazing birthday!

A Birthday Shoutout to my Favorite Missionary Cousin!

What better way to return from my unintentional blogging hiatus, than to write a birthday blog in honor of my favorite cousin? Whenever I describe Matthew to my friends I refer to him as, "my cousin who's kind of more like my brother." In honor of his birthday, this weekend I was reading through some of our e-mails that we've written to each other while he's been on his mission and selected my top 10 favorite quotes that encapsulate ten of my favorite things about Matthew. 1. He will forever be a matchmaker.  "So a guy in my ward sent you a message on Facebook. He was going to say that he's single and looking for a girl to take to the temple. I said that would probably be a little strange." Side note: He sent it to the wrong Sarah Freeman, so I never got it.  2. He appreciates good television.  "So I've been e-mailing Michael Scott. I thought you would appreciate that he's been working in the mission office. Please think about th...

Can Weaknesses be Strengths in Disguise?

    One of my favorite scriptures from the Book of Mormon is Ether 12:27. I've loved this scripture for a long time, but this week it took on a whole new meaning for me. It reads: "And if men come unto me, I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."     I've always been a very reserved and sensitive person. In my mind, these have always been two of my most glaring weaknesses. I've always wanted to become that person who can walk into a room filled with people and make everyone feel like a best friend. Instead, I walk into a room filled with people, and feel instantly overwhelmed. I've always wanted to be the person that can shake things off, truly embrace imperfection, and just move on. Instead, my mind goes in relentless circles...
