i am awesome, hear me roar

One of the youth leaders at our church built a rock climbing haven in his basement. I have been there twice, climbing along different trails and doing things of epic proportions that no mere mortal would be able to conquer. But being awesome runs in the family, so there you have it. So does modesty, I promise.

TheKeeper's college roommate is here for a visit, so he tagged along too as well as another good friend. We were distracted from the holds on the walls and didn't do a ton of actual climbing this time because we found holds that were suspended from the ceiling with ropes...and well, we used them for more interesting things like dangling upside down from one arm rather than for aiding our mad climbing skillz, yo.

We finished the day up with some delicious Panda Express, with the orange chicken and mandarin chicken and a side of chow mien, please. And just in case you were wondering what the Panda has to say about such matters as love and romance, here you go:

My Little Brother Isn't Little Anymore

This is my little brother, TheKeeper.

I once dared him to jump out of a second story window and he did it. He was around seven I think.

He used to be littler than me. And then he turned twelve.

We're only two years apart.

His eyes are two different colors.

He basically thinks he's awesome.

He wants to become a youth pastor.

He's super good at math, and I'm super not.

We can have entire conversations in movie quotes.

He always makes me laugh.

I love spending time with him. But we never spend enough time together.

He has some of the best friends ever. It's like having extra little extremely witty brothers that aren't actually related to me. 

Oh brother, this is your last year of high school. And then you are going to graduate. You will be almost all grown up, and at 6'2" I don't know how much more you can actually grow. Thanks for letting me take your senior pictures. 

Love you bunches

Your BIG Sister :)
