TIme ticks on

Today is officially the first day of summer AND it is one of the longest days here!! Cool, eh? Not that it gets dark here unless it's cloudy, but it's officially the longest day. I know I'm milking the nice weather for all it's worth, but that's because the winter will make me miss rainy Vancouver.

The first day of summer actually reminds me that Craig's birthday is a few short days away. In lieu of his birthday I called him to discover what he wants as I'm not with him enough anymore to figure it out without hints. That part sucks, although I think he'll get a surprise when all the Whitecaps stuff arrives at his place.

Talking to my brother, Craig, is always such a highlight of my day/week because he has such a different view of the world. He always makes me laugh and feel a sense of pride as he matures. Of course there are times when he doesn't want to talk, but for the most part he tells me all about his life. It makes me so happy that I spent all that time with him when he was really young because I don't think we'd have such a strong bond otherwise.

Ok, I just had to babble about my brother because his birthday is on the horizon and I miss him so much. I miss all my brothers and all of you, too. Have a great day!
