Oh, Chance. 

I don't know where to start with you either. 

You were such a punk when you were little, weren't you? 

Nothing made you chuckle more than a lecture from an adult. 

How many years did I write Santa a letter asking for a new big brother? 

2? 3? 

Obviously I didn't know what I was doing because I couldn't ask for a better big brother. 

I just didn't appreciate the incessant teasing! 

haha

Anyway, now we're past our boot scootin' boogie days, and you're off becoming a man. 

I can't tell you how proud I am of you! 

You are such a great missionary. 

It's been so amazing watching you change out there in the mission field. 

I can't wait to see you in 2 WEEKS!

It's so weird how fast these last two years went. 

I'm sure it went by even faster for you though! 

One of my favorite memory of you is when we were arguing about how pineapples grow. 

I said a bush, you said a tree. 

I know you so well that I knew you were thinking of coconuts! 

After arguing long enough for it to start getting heated, I realized how hilarious it was that we were really arguing about this. 

Then I started laughing and couldn't stop for about 30 minutes.

That's the longest I've ever laughed in my whole life. 

You thought I was a freak, but it got some laughs out of you as well.

Another funny story is when we were driving down Snow Canyon Parkway past the ponds one day. 

I was driving and you were looking down, texting in the passenger seat. 

All of a sudden a huge pelican flew right in front of my car! 

I didn't even know we had those birds in St. George so it scared the hoo-hahs out of me. 

I screamed, causing you to yell and jump and start flailing your arms wildly about. 

Heart attack much? 

haha That was so dang funny. 

Chance, I love how you never take life too seriously and you are literally always ready to have a good time. 

Your laugh, as everyone knows, is the best. 

 I love how this looks like your graduation because you stole my cap!

 The only times we got along at this age: sleeping, and dancing. 

Lesson learned from Chance: Know when to work hard, know when to play hard.
