punching cancer in the face



this summer was unforgettable to say the least.

lots of smiles, good loud laughs, memories, tears, heartbreak, fresh starts and new beginnings.

my little bigger brother JJ is now Elder Brimhall, serving his LDS mission in the Philippines for 2 whole years. he is such an example of selflessness and unconditional love. we are so excited to skype him in december and catch up on his mission life!

my family helped me coordinate and teach a week long art camp for kids in our area. basically combining my two favorite things: art and kids=BEST WEEK EVER!
those kiddos created such wonderful pieces of art it made my soul sing.
NYC was rad too. JJ and i just ran around the city doing whatever we wanted. like eating street hot dogs and playing in FAO Schwartz.


so summer was grand.
now were back to school and life and work and responsibilities!

on a different note, there are lots of changes happening right now.
sarah's got cancer now. so there's that. my sister. my 22 year old health fanatic sister has Hodgkin's lymphoma.
my whole life seems to be spinning, speeding up and slowing down at the same time.
we're coping with it, whatever that means. for me that means lots of crying, hugging, laughing and writing. 
so here we go, let's punch cancer in the FACE!

NYC hangs

NYC

at the end of August my little bigger brother and I were able to take a week and visit my sister Sarah Kay and her husband Derek in the big apple!


we soaked up all the art we could at the metropolitan museum of art in central park.

these lovebirds couldn't be more perfect for the city.




we partied in Times Square with strangers.

ate Scandinavian candies


this premissionary had the best time photographing the city and exploring.
we partied so hard. we even danced disco at a club.

me and my bro. this trip was exciting and enlightening and exhausting and unforgettable. can't wait to party again with my missionary bro when he gets back.
