a little letter

hey brother:

its been a while since my last letter. how are you doing? so at work the other day this kid came through my line. blond hair. kinda scruffy. he made this face and it looked just like a face you used to make. and i missed you. again. still. and then the other day i was going through some things and i found a handkerchief kyles mom made for me. it has your name embroidered on it. and she included a copy of your obituary. and it happened again. still. always. at bad times. and i cry. every time. but its good. cause i know you have some company right this very second. my little boy is with you. you better tell him nice things about me. or else. (thats kind of a bad threat cause really, what can i even do to you? really?) you know that tree? its HUGE. you would be so proud. oh, we went to the temple. seeing your name on that little blue card was beyond weird. those aren't supposed to be people that you know. just strangers that died in like 1792 or something. not adam michael green april 27 1990. i didn't like it very much. but we were all there at the same time. you and everyone else. together just for a little while.anyway, i love you. keep being amazing. cause you always were and always will be.

love, em

wedding fun

So Darrell's little sister Dani got married to our best friend Tyler on June 1st. We, of course, went down for the festivities and they had such a lovely day. It was fun to get to be there and see them and how excited they were and it reminded me of our wedding day and how exciting it was. My oh my. It was also fun to spend time around Darrell's family and get to know them even better. They got married in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple in South Jordan. I had never seen the temple up close but it was lovely inside and out. I also really enjoyed hearing the marriage ceremony again. Its beautiful. I didn't cry at my own wedding but hearing the ceremony again while sitting next to my handsome husband made me tear up just a little. The wedding was also super fun because I got to see my best friend ever Pyper and her husband Kyle!!!I'm sure I've mentioned this story before but Kyle and Pyper and I were all best friends in high school. Pyper and Kyle started dating after we graduated. Kyle went on a mission where one of is companions was Tyler. When they all got home Pyper and Kyle were determined to get me to go out with Tyler. When we finally did do something Tyler brought along Darrell... haha funny funny circle.

Anyway, the wedding was fantasically beautiful and I'm super excited for Dani and Tyler to start their new life together!

In other news. I get so frustrated with my stupid job. So my family is going to Mexico. I've known this since like January/February-ish. Knowing that June is a busy month for vacations I think to myself "I should request that time off just in case other people do." So I do. Walmart is ridiculous. I talk to my assistant manager who approves time off requests and let her know that I'm leaving the country and I need that time off because I won't be here. So what happens? The requests don't get looked at until last week and on that weeks schedule that is posted last Monday, I'm scheduled to work on Friday. Halfway through our vacation. Um, okay? Yes. Please let me come home from Mexico so I can just work one day. What a joke. Luckily one of the supervisors was very helpful... (i maybe cried just a little to her) and a lady at work was very nice and switched me. PHEW.
