Frugal Friday

IMAG0226

So here it is.

Even though I worked a long week this week, I still could not pass up double coupon day!

I ended up spending about 10- 15 dollars on this… some good deals!  All spent on stuff that we were in need of, except the toothpaste, we didn’t really need that, but I’ll take it if it is –1 dollars :)

I don’t know about you, but I’m glad it’s the weekend!

Elder Smith

Can I just day how much I LOVE MY BROTHER!!!

He left for New York in April to serve a full time mission, for 2 years.

I have a confession to make. I have only written him like 4 or 5 times since then! In my defense, being away from him is normal to me, I have lived away from him for long periods of time, for years. He’s not really a talkative person, and we never really had that kind of relationship.

With all of that being said, my brother is such a loving person! He has been so great about loving me, even during my teenage years when I may not have been the nicest sister. I love that guy so much!

Today I made myself a promise, that I would try harder to write him more frequently, even though my schedule is SO busy!

I was almost in tears today when I saw the email that he sent me today….

Here it is:

“hey i just so happened to hear you are working full time now! coooool!sorry i kinda just found all these cool emotions things when i started typing.........but idk if it will show up on your computer right or not but here's a random story I'm going to ad using some of these......

so one day i was walking around the bronX and i saw a random in a and that was listening to the and watching while driving his ! talk about dangerous! but i was very at the sight of this, but i stayed . then all of the sudden a came out of nowhere and logged on to a in the middle of the street! (talk about a facebook addiction!) but luckily the saw the on the in the middle of the street.so the and swerved out of the way and crashed the in to a . now the was and he called his , and his name was frosty the . now because it was out, his frosty the couldn't come. and i felt for the and i went over and gave him a to make him feel . but that didn't work and the monkey started to . oops!! so instead i gave the a and inside the was a ! but the was diabetic! and then the got really really !oops again!! but then out of nowhere another came and pinched the 's tail! ! how intriguing! the then ran away on the back of a ! now with this all over i stayed and kept walking around in the bronX!       "

 

So I know that this story doesn’t make all that much sense :)

But this IS Skyler. This is my goofy, happy, funny, fun loving brother. It makes my heart melt, and I miss him so much I feel like my heart will burst. I think the tears welling up in my eyes are also for the guilt I feel at the neglect I have given him. I’m going to try to be better.

I just love that guy.
