beau + lindee

today i miss my brother,  hunter. i know he is exaclty where he is supposed to be, doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing, but knowing that the holidays are just around the corner and he won't be home makes me sad. hunter and i have always had a love-hate relationship. we would always beat up on eachother, but at the end of the day we were very close. beau and i got especially close to hunter while he was up here at byu-i for a semester before his mission. hunter basically lived at our apartment. he came over every single day. since we spent so much time with him right before he left, having him leave was even harder. i remember after his farewell in fresno when beau and i were getting ready to drive back to rexburg and had to say goodbye. my mom was explaining to hunter that i would probably get emotional, but hunter didn't believe her at all. as soon as i gave hunter a hug goodbye i started balling and hunter just looked at me with a little smirk like "wow, you really do love me." 

i've enjoyed writing him throughout his mission and seeing his spiritual progression. i'm grateful for him and for all of my brothers and the good relationships that we have :)
