Fridays with Matty--Happy Birthday Emily!

Happy Fridays with Matty!!! 

Today I wanted to share a few of my favorite moments with Matt and Emily because it is 

Emily's Birthday!! 

We have had some funny times together that is for sure.

I wont share my most favorite just yet, I'm saving that for Thanksgiving. 

I cant remember if this was while Matt and Em were engaged or before..but they were skyping.

Katie, Matt, and myself were in the computer room.

Em was in Portland scrapbooking away..

Really I should just stop here, because what Matt talked about that day was HILARIOUS, and should not be spoken of. However, I dont think katie, emily or I will ever forget what he talked about. 

Lets just say an aerosol can was compared to something, and a handfull of pencils were compared to something. Probably something I never wanted to know about. #toomuchinfo

We were all rolling on the floor, emily was just laughing and shaking her head all the way in Portland. Lets just say after that convo getting married has scared me to death.

Matt's sense of humor could put a smile on anyones face.

This was a fun day because Matt, Emily, Sarah (Emily's mom), Em's Grandma and I went through the Draper Temple.

Matty loved the Festival of Trees. He volunteered there when he was in High School, and every year after always made it a Christmas tradition to go check out the amazing trees.

Happy Birthday Emily!

Thanks for all the fun memories with Matty

And thanks for all the fun memories we are creating now...

Road Trips, Cruises, Coast to Coast, Crazy Stories, Hilarious Memories

Love ya girl!!

Fridays with Matty

I found this little gem on my family's computer today. I wrote it October 2004 :)
Matty will forever be my hero.

My Hero

            This 19 year old kid who loves to scuba dive, and jump out of planes, could actually be taken down by something as small as a peanut! You see my hero is highly allergic to nuts, which is crazy, because he is a NUT!! My brother Matt Bernhisel is the best brother anyone could have. He always seems to be the life of the party. I remember when we were in Hawaii, we were on a boat and by the time we got off everyone knew his name even the captain! Or when we were in California and we were just getting to sleep when we heard the door open and Matt had started down the elevator sleepwalking! Sometimes he even comes up to me and will ask me at 11 O’clock at night to go to a movie.

            He stands out in a crowd, not only because he is pretty tall, but he always has either REALLY blond hair or black hair. He is always smiling like he has a million bucks and is always real talkative.

            Matt was always the one to start new words and have everyone say them. We would all laugh at him because the words were so strange but then I would start to hear the words at my school! My family is quite into music, but we have never EVER been in to country music. However, one day my brother came home and was singing country music!? We now all love Shania Twain!

 Matt never has really been scared of anything except a shot, but for some reason jumping out of  a plane doesn’t scare him. He has gotten so many opportunities and has taken them all. I don’t know if I could ever jump out of a plane but I am sure he will make me when I am older.

            Sometimes when my family has not had a good day or someone hasn’t had a good day Matt always seemed to brighten up their life. His personality just seems to get to you. He has an awesome voice and loves to sing.

            Matt is such a hero to me for a lot of reasons but the main one is that he is spending his life right now on a mission in Argentina with people less fortunate than us, and preaching the gospel. Another reason he is my hero is because he always included me in things. He would take me to movies or dinner or help me with my homework, even when he didn’t want to.  He is such a good example to me and I want to be just like him.  My 19 year old brother is a nut but I am crazy about him!

 

 

Love, and Miss Matty...
