Brandon AKA Cranky

Okay, so this one is the hardest for me. First of all, I do not have a current picture other than the bike picture shown below. Brandon does not do well in front of a camera. And yes, Lacey, he is very thin, although VERY muscular. I have offered to exchange metabolisms with him for some time now, but for some reason he does not seem to want mine! Brandon has 1 year and 1 month left of PA school. In one month he starts his rotations. The first is in a little podunk town called Yerrington about 6 hours away. He is excited about this because it will only be him with the doctor and he will learn lots. I am not sure how I feel about losing my husband for 3 months (yes, three!) and also my car (and yes, we only have one!). I guess we see it as a sacrifice for the betterment of our family. Plus it will limit my ability to spend the money that we don't have. So, I guess there are hidden blessings, right? Brandon studies endlessly. He is not really like Evan, he really studies all day, every day (and night). The only exception is for his bike rides and church. He does very well in his classes because of his diligence. And it works for our family because he does study at home, so he is available when needed. (And don't tell him I said this, but it is easier on me when he is busy so I don't have to hear his opinion on everything I do wrong! ;0) ) Brandon loves his little girls with all his heart! Sometimes I am almost jealous! He is a little high strung and doesn't always smile, unless he is playing with his girls. He teaches in the Elders Quorum and does his hometeaching regularly. I am glad he is ours!
