Joey's Home......Yo


Things I missed about Joey:
1.  His amazing energy.  He can't seem to stop.  Running, tennis, basketball, driving here, going there.  He's a dervish.
2.  His love of my cooking.  He says thank you every time I cook anything.  It is great to be appreciated.
3.  His tallness.  He can reach lightbulbs and shelves and cobwebs (if he weren't afraid of spiders).
4.  His biceps.  Oh my gosh, Joey can bench a refrigerator.  If I got a flat tire, he could lift up the car and change it.

Things I didn't miss about Joey:
1.  Mi Cara, su Cara.....for those of you who don't speak Spanglish, that means my car is somehow, through Joey's  amazing magic, his car.
2.  He was away from home for 8 months and still can't figure out how to make cup-o-noodles.  Lord help us.
3.  He lets our crazy dog, Jack, on the couch.  I know he does it even if he denies it to my face.
4.  I still worry about him.....somewhere inside this big grown up man is a young boy thinking about jumping off a cliff.

You have to savor it all Linne - the thank yous AND the "cara" situation. Pretty soon he's gonna be Elder Joey & gone for 2 whole years! When is he submitting his papers?

Sigh, that's my brother for ya. He's a special kid but we love him. I can't believe he's actually old enough to be a missionary!! Where does the time go?
