I have many people that are like heros to me, but there is one individual that stands out to me more then anyone. That person is my eldest brother Bryan. He is one of the most incredible individuals you will ever meet in your entire life.

I have not been around Bryan for most of my life. The reason for this being family issues that became non resolvable. He and I have the same father. I had no idea I even had an eldest brother until about 5 years ago. I was discussing it with my father. My father had not had any contact with him since he was little, nor did he want it. I was not satisfied with this answer, I wanted to know more about him and to have contact with him myself. So I did an online search, but nothing seemed to come up. One day about a month after I had given up on the search, I was on the world famous website “myspace”. I then proceeded to search his name, lone behold to my astonishment I found him! I then wrote him and email explaining my story and that I was his younger sister. He was flabbergasted. He had no idea I had even existed. We then began an email and phone relationship from absolutely nothing. One summer I was to make the trip down my hometown of Reno, Nevada. This was in-fact where Bryan live. We then that summer got to meet for the very first time. We are alike in so many ways and found that out that day. We even look very similar. We talked for hours, when I made my leave we both cried, but never lost contact.

I look up to him so much, and want to be just like him in so many ways. He may live far away, but for me he is only a phone call away. He’s always there when I need him. I tell him so much about my life and look to him when I need help. No matter the situation he is always there to help with whatever I need. We plan on spending a lot more time together this coming up summer. I miss him like crazy, but I honestly don’t think I could have anyone better as my hero. He is hard working, honest, funny, and completely amazing. I’m so happy that I found him and now have him in my life. He filled the gap I had been missing for so long. He will always be the one I turn to when I need someone. I am more thankful for that than any blog could ever explain.

As you all may know, summer is begining soon. For all of you that may mean camping, graduation, trips, going to the lake, sports, or just hanging out with your friends. Well for me this summer is going to be a very special one. There is so much to be done and so little time to do it, or so it seems like. This summer I will be writing a series of blogs about my summer experiences.
This summer I will be traveling around a lot. My first stop is going to be D.C. In that blog there will definately be some pictures and tales of my adventure. My next stop is going to be Longmont, Colorado. This is going to be the best leg of my trip. I will be staying with my father who I have not seen in months. My little sisters and stepmother also live with my him. We will have many adventures. The one most thing I’m excited about at my father’s is the possible visit from my e-buddy from over a year now that lives in Somerset, Kentucky. He is hopefully taking a trip down to Longmont to see me for a few days.
This may be one of the craziest summers I have ever had, but I know I am going to have a blast. So keep a look out on my page for the blogs about my summer adventures to come. Let me know what you think. Also, have an amazing summer yourself.

Earth day as we all know is coming up on the 22nd of April. This is a very important day in our society, more people need to make this day a bog part in their lives. I personally love this day, it makes me realize how our planet is being treated, and what we can do to help make it better. I do what I can to help make our planet a better place. i recycle, plant trees, clean up sidewalks and pathways, use non-CFC aerosoles, and try to reduce my use of plastic materials and harmful chemicals. Some people don’t realize that they can do so much to help our planet, they just think they don’t have the time. The honest truth is EVERYONE has the time to do something little. Even separating your recyclables is a good use of spare time. Every little thing you can do, helps. This is the only planet we have, we need to take care of it. On Earth Day there is a big beach clean up on the Oregon Coast, do you part take the day off from, the mall, hanging with your friends, being on the computer, or playing video games all day long and go to the beach to be part of the solution.

  As I walked toward the alter, I took the smallest steps I could. I could feel myself getting closer, my chest pounded, my ears began to ring. The smell of flowers became more intense. I swear my heart skipped a beat, when I was next in line. I walked up to the beautiful, brown, hand carved casket. I began to look over the side, as my stomach dropped and the feeling of sickness overwhelmed me, it felt as if it got hotter and the lights got brighter. I looked at his face, it’s as if he was a stone sculpture,  so lifeless. I remembered seeing him smile and laughing, and his words about summer and friends. He was wearing a suit, and his face was colorless. His favorite baseball cap lay beside him. I could remember always seeing him that hat or talking about the team it represented. I just stared, blankly, at him. Still in shock that this would be the last time I’d ever see my best friend again. Tears began streaming down my face as I was walking away. I quickened my pace as I walked out of the church. My breath became heavy, my eyes swelling from the tears. I collapsed to the ground as I began sobbing. This went on for what seemed as hours. I was finally pulled to my feet by Tyler’s mother. She told me that he cared for me very much and then hugged me. I then went home, sat there idoly for hours, just remembering all the good times with Tyler. Days seemed longer and more sad. I felt lifeless, all I wanted was for him to be alive, for him to be there next to me like nothing had happened that tragic day, but all I really wanted was to hear his voice, and to feel his arm around me in a hug. I miss him more then anything, and I’d do anything just to see him one last time.

R.I.P. Tyler Amundson. Always remembered.

I believe myself to be well educated in today’s technology. I have used many items today that some people may find confusing such as: computers, cameras, cell phones, Ipods, pdas, and other such items.

On a regular basis almost everyday I carry my cell phone and mu ipod. I honestly could not live without them. My world revolves around them. When I talk to people I always use my cell phone. I usually text people using text slang along with regular words but I rarely use punctuation. This is the way I honestly think is faster and easier then calling someone, you also have more courage to say something that you wouldn’t over the phone, well in my opinion anyway. When II get a new piece of technology most of the time I find it very simple to find the way to work the item of figuring out the process of how to do certain programs with it. I usually find it fun and entertaining, but there are some instances when I get frustrated. Usually it is only when I can’t figure something out, or it was so obvious that I just missed it. Well either way I find technology to be fun and enjoyable.

The most technology literate person in my family would certainly have to be my grandfather. He, for as long as I can remember, has always been able to comprehend most technology and find ways to improve it. He has a connection with it, that I honestly don’t think can be explain unless your him. In the near future I think it would be a very good thing to be technology literate. So many items and places are being updated to be more sophisticated, you have to be able to pick things up quickly to understand what your doing in the most ordinary places. So my suggestion is become technology literate if you aren’t already.
