I'm only going to mention two things here that make me cringe so bad I want to chuck something across the room.
When people end a phone conversation with "mmmmmm bye!" BLARGH that drives me crazy.
When girls slightly stick their tongue out right when they say the "th" part of "thank you." If you don't know what I'm talking about just look for the next high school graduation ceremony. You'll see over a hundred examples.

Valentine's Day Cards of 2012!
This is a video of all the Valentine's Day cards I made this year. Enjoy!
How I View Daughters of God...
Every girl is a Princess, and I am always the knight that serves and protects her.
When I was young (around second grade) I became very fascinated with the Medieval era. I remember that I would check out this one book on a regular basis that was all about knights, their armor and weapons and the lifestyle that they lived in the dark ages. Granted, fantasy novels have made that time period much cooler than it actually was. Let's not go into how they didn't have take baths and they were constantly at war and yadda yadda.
I would also like to mention that even when I am married, that special girl will still be my Princess and I her knight. She will always be someone I want to protect and serve with all my might and heart.
After all, girls are beautifully divine daughters of God, and I will never forget that.

Kevin...
So recently Kevin wrote a very touching blog post about me for our birthday. I'm a little behind in writing my post about him and I will apologize that it probably won't be as well written as his was. Nevertheless, let's begin!
So, Kevin always responds to the question: "What's it like to have a twin?" with "What's it like to not have a twin?" which is a pretty good response. When people ask me what it's like to have a twin I tell them this:
"It's like constantly having a best friend who you can talk to, play with, and likes all the same things you do."
No really, Kevin has been that for me all my life. There has never been a time that we weren't on good terms. That's not to say that sometimes he doesn't drive me slightly bonkers or that he's the perfect brother but that's what makes him not me, which is a very good thing.
I often tell people that Kevin and I differ because while we were both in the womb certain traits or talents would drop down and we wrestled for every single one often tearing the trait into (usually) two uneven proportions. Let me tell you about the things I admire about Kevin!
First of all, Kevin speaks his mind and he's very open about things. He'll frequently open his heart to people early on with any kind of relationship. Second, Kevin is so much more social than I am. It is true that Kevin and I act totally different at social outings and people who know us well come to expect that Kevin will say a lot and I'll say hardly anything. I wish I was good at conversations. I always try to do double dates with Kevin because he's so good at coming up with questions. Seriously, the last time I dated a girl for a prolonged period of time (even to this day) I never even found out what her favorite color was. I mean, that's like Stake Dance basics!! Speaking of dancing, Kevin definitely has better moves than I do. He's a much better dancer and he remembers a lot of the moves and steps that I forget too quickly. And he can shimmy!
Another one of Kevin's talents is his ability to sing. Holy cow, I really wish I had a voice like Kevin's when it comes to singing. Sure, I like being a bass but whenever we're singing Broadway or movies around the piano or singing along with our CDs I have to keep dropping out because I can't sing as high and as well as he can. Kevin is simply awesome. Did I mention that he has always been able to draw better than I can? Now he'll argue that I'm the better artist but that's because I have the patience to make my drawings look really detailed and cool, but Kevin whips out this amazing creations so easily I sometimes get super jealous. He can draw and come up with original monster ideas, he can create new characters and put them into actions poses that actually look natural and excellent-- like the tiniest step below paid professionals.
Perhaps the greatest thing about Kevin is that he "gets it." There are so many people in this world that just don't get it. Kevin tries to understand people, Kevin understands how things work, how they should work and how to make things better. He's a really good guy. He's nice to everyone, he views and treats girl with so much respect and he's freaking hilarious! He can always make me smile (a certain segment of Goofy Movie works every time).
There's a lot more I could say about Kevin but my blogs are supposed to have short entries and this was one well worth writing and deserves to be as long as it is. Thanks Kevin for all you do for me! Love ya bro!
