Ode to Jeffrey

Yesterday was my brother Jeffrey's graduation from Cypress High School!! Yay for him! I was so sad that I couldn't be there but I know he was awesome and he walked up in his cap and gown and got that diploma with such grace and elegance. I just know it! Just 2 days after her graduates (that will be tomorrow), he comes up to UTAH to start his next step in life as a College Freshman at BYU!! Oh, I could not be more excited!!!
After Scott graduated and moved out it was just me and Jeffrey at home. We had 3 years where it was just the two of us. I really feel like we became really good friends and I could not ask for a better little brother! We love to hang out whenever I come home and now I can't wait for him to come up to BYU so we can play all the time! I really miss having siblings up here! But no more, because he is coming!! Yay!
For two years, Jeff and I went to the same school, Oxford, and I loved seeing him on campus! It was so fun to tease him as he walked past our table at lunch and my friends just thought he was the most adorable thing ever! (that would be because he is!). We had some great times and here are some pictures of the fun times we had together! (I have so much more but not on my computer, so these will have to suffice!)

Jeff, my mom, and I went to Europe to visit Brian when he lived in London. Jeff is a GREAT travel partner, that is for sure! He is so laid back and is good with whatever comes his way. (Look how little he looks!! haha)
Jeff made many trips up to see me when I was at BYU and he was still at home. One of our favorite things to do was to go snowboarding. (I totally taught him everything he knows!) What a stud!!
Jeff is just a fun guy!! He loves to make funny faces! haha. I think he stole my camera for this one! This is at Brian's wedding. We had fun times in Washington, that is for sure!! Rob's wedding. Again, with the funny faces. I wonder where he gets that from? hehe. We like to have fun together. At the dinner the night before my wedding. He is always there to support his family! What a great guy!! On my wedding day at the temple. This is all the siblings, minus Ryan... (oops). I love all my siblings and am so happy that we are all such good friends! I know I can always count on them for everything!! I am sooo excited for Jeffrey to come to BYU and am so proud of all the hard work he did to get in so he can come play with me all the time! I totally expect him over every other Sunday to have a good home-cooked dinner. (The Sundays in between, I expect him to have Ryan and I over to the Cannon Center! haha). We love you Jeffie!!! See you soon!!

  2. Um, excuse me, but every other Sunday he is going to be at my and Dave's house, thank you very much! But I'm down with putting the Cannon Center into the rotation!

    Jeff is the awesomest littlest (emphasis on the -EST) brother there ever was. Dave thinks so, too. In fact, Dave told me the other day, "Just you watch. I'm going to become Jeff's favorite out of all the siblings." And I said, "Oh, heck no!" See, Jeff is so awesome that his affections are sought after by EVERYONE. Awesome.
