Dear Elder,
Hi. It is Sunday afternoon and I just saw Jonathan off. He is going back home and starts work tomorrow. Since he was down, we celebrated his birthday a week early. He wanted tres leches cake which we ate outside along with strawberry ice cream. We did birthday Madlibs and enjoyed talking and laughing together. I’m so glad he got to come down!
On Saturday Miriam worked for 12 hours, that is a long time! I picked Thomas and Katrina up from EFY early that morning and Brian picked up Miriam from youth conference very late the night before (after the pageant). Thomas worked till 1:30 and then hung out with Jon a bit and rested a bit and then hung out with friends a bit. Katrina also hung out with friend and also rested. Dad went to the hunting store to see if he could sell them his guns for a good price—he couldn’t, and he also exercised. I did some yard work and some shopping. That night, Dad and I went to a movie.
Wow, this letter is so boring! I’m going to end it now before the computer falls asleep. I’ll try again tomorrow.
Hi, Matt. It’s Monday! Soon you will be leaving to Mexico. How does that feel? How do you like your back scratcher? I also bought lotion and a lotion applicator to help you rub it on your back. I am not planning to send It unless you say you want it, so let me know. It really will cure an itchy back.
Well, as you know, we have a tradition of doing Madlibs on birthdays, and yesterday we did one for Jon.
Jon's Birthday Madlibs
“Holey Bikini, Batman!” These were the google words of nerds when they heard just how boring Jonathan will be next week. It’s not that he’s nagging, it’s just that he’s incessant to us. Well…with great porcupines comes great animosity, and Jonathan is full of it.
Jonathan has had some stinky adventures this year. For one thing, he graduated with a ridiculous degree in plaid from Smokey College. We are very annoyed for him for such a punching bag.
He also went to Dubai earlier this summer returning with a marlin stick and a plastic koala bear. He learned that Uruguayan apple blossoms taste great, and that the French aren’t very popular in America. He also learned how to get across the Chinatown border successfully.
Jonathan’s yucky adventure was to impale all the way to college. He already has a tome and a urg and is signed up for the Fourth of July semester at Charm School where he will become an official student. I think their mascot is a penguin.
This week, Jon is back so that we can squeeze his birthday a week early with prune cake, bicycle cream, and slow dogs. Jon is quick to do evil, purple, and bushy. We are glad that Jon came home for this smooth celebration and wish him the very whiniest in his new home away from home."
Well, that was it. Jon and Thomas also decided that since "dude" is such a descriptive word, we should also make a dude version of Jonathan's birthday. Here's how it turned out:
Jonathan’s Dude Adventures
“Dude!” These were the exact words of dudes when they heard just how dude Jonathan will be next week. It’s not that he’s dude, it’s just that he’s dude to us. Well…with great age comes great dudeness, and Jonathan is full of it.
Jonathan has had some dude adventures this year. For one thing, he graduated with an dude degree in dudeness from dude College. We are very proud of him for such dude.
He also went to Dude earlier this summer returning with a dude stick and a plastic dude. He learned that Dude donuts taste great, and that Dudes aren’t very dude in Canada. He also learned how to dude across the dude border successfully.
Jonathan’s latest adventure was to dude all the way to collegd. He already has a dude and a dude and is signed up for dude semester at Dude University where he will become an official dude. I think their mascot is a dude.
This week, Jon is back so that we can celebrate his dudeday a week early with dude cake, dude cream, and dude dogs. Jon is dude, dude, and dude. We are glad that Jon came home for this exciting dudeness and wish him the very best in his new dude away from dude.
The real one is very lame, but now that I've written the above lame stuff, I may as well add it too:
“Holy Moley!” These were the exact words of someone when they heard just how old Jonathan will be next week. They also sait that its not that he’s old, it’s just that he’s old to us. Well…with great age comes great combustibility, and Jonathan is full of it.
Jonathan has had some wonderful adventures this year. For one thing, he graduated with an assosciate’s degree in pshchology from junior college. We are very proud of him for such an accomplishment.
He also went to Canada earlier this summer returning with a hockey stick and a plastic duck. He learned that Canadian donuts taste great, and that Americans aren’t very popular in Canada. He also learned how to get across the Canadian border successfully.
Jonathan’s latest adventure was to move all the way to the university. He already has an apartment and a job and is signed up for fall semester of school where he will become an official university student. I think the school's mascot is a cow.
This week, Jon is back so that we can celebrate his birthday a week early with tres leches cake, ice cream, and hot dogs. Jon is smart, funny, and compassionate We are glad that Jon came home for this exciting celebration and wish him the very best in his new home away from home.
Well, there you go. Now, Jon is gone and Miriam, Dad and Thomas are working. Katrina and I are going bike riding and shopping and stuff. I am still studying Preach my Gospel, and it is a real blessing in my life! I love you very much, Matt!
Love,
Mom
