Sorry we are slacking this week. But at least we posted!!
We got to talk to him on Sunday and he is doing well. It was great to talk to him and hear how he is doing.

Curley Family-No worries on the disconnect, though I was really irritated with the phone. I could not even tell you that the phone was going to die or anything, it just went out on me. I felt bad to cause I did not get to finish our conversation, so sorry for that. I did feel a little weird when I called Scott and I heard his voice. I was all excited and thought that I was going to see you all or something, but did not sadly. It is a little weird to not talk to the family and then BAM the whole family and it is so exciting and fun, than it is over and you are excited that you got to talk to everyone than you realize that you do not get to see anyone for a while and that you do not get to even talk to them for a while either. It is definitely a very bitter sweet moment. That is cool that Oreo will fetch, just have to work on where she drops the ball. Dad was actually talking about how Grizz seems to get a long really well with Oreo, though at times he is not sure what to do with her. Than after she has pestered him enough he snaps/snips at her and she will YELP at the top of her lungs. I did hear that Nicole was living at Ritchie's house. I guess whatever works. Though she did say that there is a possibility that she might work in Saratoga Springs which would make the commute longer than if she was at home, but than again it is pretty crowded at home. Eh whatever I guess.Is it weird that I really want to shoot something or kill something right now? I don't know I just want to do some shooting and go really fast! Two things that are not allowed in the mission. Oh wells I guess.Oh wow you let dad cut your hair, that is cool. I actually cut my own hair now. It has been nice because it saves me that money to put towards something else. I agree as well that it feels like I have been gone forever, but yet at the same time just yesterday I left. It is weird. It sounds like you got mom some cool stuff. I am sorry to hear that you bruised your tailbone. That is no fun whatsoever. I have done that a couple times and it sucked. Well I am not sure what else to say, but it was awesome to talk to you all yesterday. I hope you are doing well. Take care and I will talk to you soon. Love you all.-Elder Brickey


The Mommy-Well it was good to talk to you yesterday! I cannot believe that Mother's Day has already passed, I swear it was a ways a way when I entered the MTC. For the cream, I really do not care. I am not sure how well it worked or if I really care right now. If you want to send it you can, but I am impartial. I do not remember going to Brigham Young's winter house. I do remember a few details about that trip, but not many. I of course remember the Excalibur and than some of the different things that happened in Cali, like the beach and such. For the most part though I do not remember much on the way to or from. I do remember though sleeping right in between the captain chairs now and than though. I kind of remember the Thornton's but than again do not. I think I do remember you babysitting/tending them. The more I think about it the more I remember them, I think. That is cool that you found out that Camille is getting married, did you get an invitation or something?I guess I sound like a few people. I have been told that Scott and I sound alike and Dad and I do as well at times. I have never heard that I sound like uncle Kirt, though that is fine. I kinda remember his laugh, but than again not so much. It is weird the things that you remember and cannot forget and how other things just seem to slip away. Anyways..I do not really care if I stay in Lincoln or go somewhere else. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what happens I will enjoy it and make it the best that I can. I have started to really get to like the area and the people here so I would not mind staying, and more than likely I will be staying here for a while.I am sad that I was not able to talk to Grammy and Grampy Walker! I will just have to write her and tell her Happy Grandma's Day!I have been trying to write Chase I was just trying to figure out what all to say to the kid. I will though cause I really worry about the kid and hope that he is doing well. I do have their address so I will try and get a letter out to him soon. Well things are going well here. Though I do need some new garmets, well at least bottoms. I have heard that there is a new kind out that is more for sports or for keeping sweat away from your body. But whatever works cause I guess I am just really hard on things. Other than that though I am doing well, like much could have changed in under 24 hours. Well I hope that all is going well for you all. Take care and I love you.Love your son,-Elder Brickey
