E is for Elder Fogle

The letter E.
E stands for lots of things,
but today it stands for Elder Fogle!

My little brother, formerly known as Kyle, is now Elder Fogle! The day finally came and I still don't think it has really hit me that he is gone. But anyways, here's a little run down of the whole shebang through a few pictures.

Kyle receives his mission call to Salt Lake City.

Kyles farewell parrttaayyy! And I mean parrttaayyy!
There were probably 100+ people there.

We got an email from him earlier this week. He is doing really well. Loving the MTC, learning lots and meeting great people! "My district is AMAZING! We are all brothers now it feels like, and its pretty cool, since I've never had a brother, now I do!!!" I really liked that. If you would like to write him...

The people of Salt Lake are blessed to have Kyle for the next two years. He has been an amazing example to me my whole life, but especially these past few months. I know that he is ready to be a missionary. He's gonna be an exceptionally extraordinary elder! I couldn't be prouder and more impressed with him!

Until next time...take it EEEEZ. :)

D is for Denny's

And I'll tell you why...

Since the beginning of February I've been working at Denny's Corporate Headquarters in the Marketing Department. Who knew Denny's was headquartered in South Carolina? I bet you didn't! It has been such a great experience! I've learned more in the past couple of months then I learned in my 4 years of college. Seriously. Ok, so some really exciting things have happened since I started working at Denny's. And I'm here to tell you about them...

The Denny's Tower houses the United Way of Piedmont on one of it's floors so one week every year Denny's and the United Way team up to raise money. A couple of Fridays ago we had a Tour Day and got to visit 4 agencies around Spartanburg that the United Way helps fund. It was a real eye opener. One, to see first hand that there are real problems and real people in need in our community. Two, there are lots of non-profit agencies helping our community become a better place! I really enjoyed all the visits.

We played Jenga at one agency. Each block had something good or bad written on it.
We had to take out the bad blocks. Mine was alcohol.

Mid-April my aunt and I ran in a 5k to support the American Heart Association. It wasn't timed or anything. It was purely to raise money for the association. Denny's sponsored me.

I sported this Denny's tee whilst running my 5k.

And for the grand finale of pictures! Hello, San Diego! Two weeks ago I was arriving in San Diego for a business trip.  It was a great experience. San Diego is beautiful and I'm really grateful that I got to go! (Although I had to skip the Braves game back home.)

Well, that's all folks.

What are you waiting for? Go get yourself a Grand Slam at your nearest Denny's!
