Brother and Sister Eisenhut

So I told you all that I would more than likely write about Brother and Sister Eisenhut. These two great people are the parents of Holly (who I haven't really spoken about), Brennen, Katelyn, and Michaela. And I have so much to say about them.



First off Sister Eisenhut. She is like a 2nd mom. She openly welcomes me into her home and treats me like family, after all, I have become her 2nd son ever since Brennen left. I honestly don't remember when I met her though. I was probably hanging out with one of her children and they introduced me to their parents which would hence be Brother and Sister Eisenhut. Anyway, never have I felt anymore accepted into someone's home. She makes me feel as if it's my home, too. She told me when Brennen left on his mission to text whenever I wanted to come over and that I can come over. She is so friendly whenever I'm over there. I feel so welcomed and happy and loved whenever I'm there. Sister Eisenhut just brings a joy to my soul and tries everything in her power to make sure I am doing great and making sure I'm happy. Unless they're busy or out of town, never would she deny me to come visit. Even if ends up just me sitting at their island on my phone like the old times, I still feel at home. The atmosphere and mood that she creates at her house is just amazing. I just love having her as like a second mom and being able to feel so welcomed.



Brother Eisenhut. Well, I know brother Eisenhut really well but not as well as Sister Eisenhut so I don't have as much to say. But brother Eisenhut is a really funny guy. And he is really fun. One time he drove me to their house after school just so I can chill. Katelyn and I ended up walking up to Julie Stanfill's house. Anyway, when he picked us up he ended up driving us to Starbucks and got me a drink then drove me home. And twice he let Brennen and I be his two guests to the gym. The gym was really fun. But he's also really easy to talk to and really enjoyable to talk to. And I'm still confused as to how he hasn't been stricter yet on me about his daughter. Ya know like "son, stop flirting with my daughter. I am very protective and I'm not letting anyone date her unless I know he's the right one." I think it's because secretly his attitude is "son, flirt with my daughter and keep trying because it's really funny. She's way out of your league and will never go out with you so it's funny to see you try." Whatever his attitude is about this issue, he won't express it like every other father. But I will never let my guard down and will always keep cautious because any day now he can pop. Haha. But he's so chill and I love him.



Well that's pretty much it. I don't have much more. I just love Brother and Sister Eisenhut. They're kind and sweet and welcoming and accepting. Such a great pleasure to know them.



Thanks again to all those reading. Give me a notice if you enjoy my blog. It's always nice to hear that people read this and notice my blog. Love you all.

Katelyn Eisenhut and her family

So I was at the Eisenhut's house Monday and shared my blog with the Eisenhut's. And Katelyn, who is Brennen's younger sister and is 3 months younger than me jokingly was like "Why am I not in the blog?" So I told her I would write one whole post on her. I will add in a little about her family at the bottom.

So I met Katelyn four years ago at mutual. That day our ward deacons (12-13 year old boys), Redhawk, were playing her ward's deacons, Pauba. So we're playing, I get hit and start crying. I run outside to the hallway crying but see a cute girl (which ended up being Katelyn). Not wanting to be seen crying in front of a cute girl I ran back into the basketball court and hid. Then, long story short, I was being a really awkward person, don't even ask me what I was doing, I don't even enjoy having that memory. So I ended up talking to her and the other girls there. By the end of it I was being called a ladies man and felt special to the girls. So that's how I first met Katelyn. And that's when I started liking her (just thought I'd throw that fun fact in).

Once I like a girl I become obsessed. I would always talk to her and I loved it (talking to her not loving her). I actually got her phone # 8 months later. Then we text back and forth and she doesn't remember this but one time I asked something like what she thought of me and she was like "smart, funny, cute, nice, funny, cute..." and then was like "now what do you think of me?" Which seemed weird that she would force it on like that so I didn't know if someone was on her phone. I said "nice, funny, pretty, sweet, nice, pretty..." but apparently in girl world there is a difference between "cute" and "liking someone". So yeah ever since I was 12 I've liked her which I'm pretty sure isn't new information so if she reads this then she shouldn't be creeped out. Still been waiting on her to go out with me. Jk. That comment was weird sorry. So that's our backstory.

Well we were supposed to be going on a date soon (yess!! Finally!!! Jk its Mormon dating Haha) but it hasn't been able to happen yet.

She is one of the sweetest nicest most wonderful girls I know. Never a mean word to me, always super kind, and I can just be myself around her. It's great. Not many people are so accepting. Her and her brother both are such kind hearted people. But seriously we have had so much fun together as friends. We've gone to yogurt island with other friends, set up for dances, and most recently go down and hang out with her goats and chickens. Let me tell you though, she is a good chicken catcher. Oh, and I almost forgot her basketball skills. She plays basketball and is pretty amazing at that too. She's one of the few girls who is super patient with me and never gets annoyed by me. Like her brother, she has been a great blessing to me just by having her as such a great friend.

Now I will probably have my own post on her parents but I will briefly mention Michaela. The youngest. The oldest is Holly. Anyway Michaela is 3 years younger than me. But I've gotten to know Michaela pretty well over the years. After you spend half your time with Brennen at their house you get to know his siblings really well. Michaela is actually really funny. She has the greatest sense of humor ever and I love it. Whenever I go over she just says something really funny and it makes my day. It's a joy being at their house with all of them. 

So yeah, there's how I know Katelyn and our friendship. Thanks for all who read this especially Katelyn, Michaela and Brother and Sister Eisenhut since I know all four of you will more than likely read this. Sorry Katelyn for acting weird in this post and it won't happen again.  I have no filter. Haha. Love everyone who is reading this. Good bye.

BE STRESS FREE

Stress!!??? We all have it and it over powers us every single day. But why? Why do we allow stress to take control of our lives??

One day I was talking to Grace Warren. Now I have probably mentioned about her a couple times but Grace is a really nice MiaMaid (14-15 year old girls in the LDS church) who is a really good friend of mine. I walk to 1st period with her almost every single day and so I learn life lessons from her like every day. Anyway, one day I was talking to her. I don't remember where we were and where we were going but I was complaining about how stressed out I was with school, scouts, church and life in general. And with her happiest tone and with her bright smile she said "Michael, there is no need to be stressed. You bring stress on yourself. Just be happy and don't let things stress you out." I'm just over here like "easy for you to say Grace, Ms. Perfect. Yeah ok."  But it really did get me thinking. 

Stress we bring upon ourselves. We make up stress in our minds and pretend it exists but it's truly just a dream in our mind that we cause.


Why are you stressed about that math final? Don't be. Study, review and ask questions and you should be good. By being stressed you make everything harder and worse. You just feel even more stressed and before you know it you have blown up and you're dead from stress. If you take one thing at a time and have patience, you should be able to get everything done with no problem.
 

So in summary listen to the wise words of Grace Warren and don't let stress get to you. Like she said "There's no need to be stressed." And it's true. There's nothing to be stressed about. So just slow down, breathe the fresh air, and relieve yourself of stress because there is no legitimate reason for you to be stressed. Please give me a valid reason to be stressed. But life will be so much better if you don't let stress take over you. I promise.

I love you all for reading this and thanks Grace, if you ever read this, for the great advice. Everyone reading this is the reason I continue my blog even if it isn't very often. Feel free to tell me how you feel about my blog. Goodnight love you all.
