Where have I been? Blame Warren.

So, yeah — I've been MIA for the past two weeks, and I'd love to give you some dramatic excuse, but the truth is pretty simple: my older brother Warren showed up, and suddenly blogging felt very far away. You know how it is. Someone hands you a shell of kava and next thing you know it's been fourteen days.

It's been a genuinely great stretch though. Warren and I have been doing the kind of hanging out that doesn't really have an agenda — drinking kava, eating out, talking about nothing and everything. My younger brother, Dan The Man, was in the mix too, which meant a solid amount of yardwork somehow made it onto the schedule.

Yardwork at our home means nothing bonds us quite like arguing over whose turn it is to go to the bathroom. But nobody did this time, we just worked. At some point my sister even came out to join the chaos, and we made a trip to H-Mart together, which is basically a family pilgrimage at this point. If you know, you know.

The highlight though? We got to go to the temple with our dad, which was genuinely special. The whole crew together, which doesn't happen as often as it should. There was just one tiny hiccup — this older gentleman came up to us while we were in line and asked if he could cut in with our group. Being the kind, generous people that we are, we said sure, no problem. Well. We get to the session, there's just barely enough space for our group to sit together... and this man plants himself in the front row and will not budge. Brah. , we let you in infrint everybody else. We welcomed you into our group. And now you're holding the front row hostage?? We ended up having to split up, which, fine, but the audacity was at an All-time High. Bless his heart though, I guess.

Another thing that happened, was IRIE got Braces. And she's going through that painful part in the beginning. Prayers her way! They said 1 and a half years.....I think.

I won't pretend I felt guilty about going quiet here — honestly it was kind of nice to just be present for a bit. But Warren's visit is winding down, things are settling back into their usual rhythm, and I'm ready to get back to posting. Im.Really Grateful he came, he's my Bro. I Love dat guy! I Love all my siblings, ive got a Great Family! My Sister, She’sThe Best! Im Always so Happy when we get to.hang out. But. Lots of thoughts rattling around that need somewhere to go. Thanks for sticking around. More soon — I promise it won't take a sibling intervention to hear from me again.
