The Family I Love

So today I just couldn't help but think about how much I truly do love my family. I love each and every one of them in their own unique and individual ways. I love my dad. He is the man who can do anything. I love his example of what I want my future husband to be like. I love how he is the mighty hunter/fisherman, amazing boss, caring bishop, and the fantastic comedian. I love how this man can do it all, from squishing all the spiders and fixing broken necklaces to being the only boy in a household of girls. He is someone who listens and will give you the best advice and tell you exactly what you need to do/say, even if you don't want to sometimes. I love how he is a priesthood holder and I couldn't be more thankful that I have that in my home. I love my Mom. She is my best friend. I love her amazing cooking, doing my laundry, and I even love watching her sit on the couch and read her scriptures often. I love the women she is. I can only wish and dream I can be half the lady she is. I love her willingness to help everyone she comes in contact with. I love how she is a shoulder to cry on, person to listen to me, and a person who wants me to do the best I can in everything I set out to be. I love my sister Courtnie. I love her strength and testimony that just shines off her. I love her desire to never give up. I love her determination to reach for what she wants most and will do everything she can to accomplish her goals. I love how I feel she is like a second mom to me. I love her support and her passion. I love Dillon. I love his energetic personality and his love he shows to Courtnie. I love his crazy personality and the face he gets when he talks about snowmobiling, fishing or hunting. I love the fact that he sorta makes me feel like I have an over protective brother sometimes. I even love how much he loves pie. I love Cami and how she is just like me. I love her clothes, shoes, and her willingness to share everything she has with me. I love how she could be my twin and how I feel I'm so much like her. I love her determination, creative mind, and optimism. I love how I can call her at midnight balling my eyes out or frustrated beyond believe and she will be there to calm me down. I love how much she has helped me in my life. I love Austin. I love him for his determination and mind set. I love how he is so smart and when he sets his mind to something he gets it done. I love how when he was in high school he tried to be friends with me, even though I was Cami's annoying littlest sister. I love how smart he is and how he pushes himself for what he wants, I wish I was more like that. I love him for how he loves Cami and is the father to my amazing little niece. I love Kennadi. I love her for the curiosity she brings to my mind, I always wonder what she will be like, her personality, looks, just everything. I love the thought of having a niece and even more I love the thought of our family getting bigger and bigger. I love Madison. I love her for putting up with me. I love her for every time I see her she makes me laugh. I love the she has such a fun personality and is always trying to do what she is supposed to do. I love how there is never a dull moment with her. I love how when we were in high school together she was always there for me. I love how if a boy hurts me or breaks my heart, trust me she will not like you!!! I just love her for who she is and how she wont change that no matter what or who she is with. I absolutely love my family and couldn't have asked for better people to call mine. I Love how we are all sealed together for eternity and how my parents raised us in the church. I love how we will always be there for each other no matter what!

I love you Dad, Mom, Courtnie, Dillon, Austin, Cami, Kennadi, and Madison!

Cowgirl Up

 So this past weekend I got to take a journey to one of my favorite places to visit. I got to see the people I love; my second family, my bestest friends, my second ward, and the people who accept me and make me feel like im one of them! Yes I drove the 80 miles to good ol' Park Valley :) Here is my adventure in a nut shell....Me and Ally flirting with the hawaiian shirt guy driving in the car next to us, Al & me coming home to getting "The Talk" on dating by my second dad, going on walks, seeing Richard for the first time (Devins pet deer), almost stepping on a skunk, skunk hunting, heart to hearts with karissa, raking hay, Kubota ride with Adrian, sheering sheep, water fight, waking up Jody from a nap with putting things in his ears, RIDING A HORSE!!! Softball w/ the ym/yw, glowstick fight, being serenaded with church hymes by Jody, Glenn & Devin (and yes they sounded AMAZING), Going to church, having an amazing deep sunday school conversation, stealing allys car, EATING FOOD, driving around town, sweet revange on Charley, watching some wannabe Ninja show, driving back into town with Jody and overall just loving every minute of being with my best friends! What can I say, I never want to come home whenever I go out there!

Daddy's Day

Happy Fathers Day to the best dad I could ask for! Words can't even describe what I think about this man! I hope that someday my husband can be half the man my dad is! He is so loving and caring to everyone and I admire him a ton! He is the best support there is and spends hours on hard bleachers watching my dance competitions and I never hear him complain. He is an amazing neck less fixer, spider killer and a good laugh when you need one. Even when its 6 in the morning this man has way to much energy and can make you laugh in a heart beat. I love how he can give me a Priesthood blessing whenever I need one and is so strong in the church! He seriously is amazing in so many ways! Love ya daddy, sorry I was the worst colicky baby when I was little and a run for your money now that I'm a teenager! :)

Fairytale Weekend

Well as most of you know I jumped back into my 5 year old set of mind this week and ewwed and awed over all Princes and Princesses! Yes, I went to Disneyland! :) My parents, me and Madison went just for a little vacation. The whole time we were there me and Madison kept saying how much we wished our Hunt cousins were here to eat Disneyland pickles with us, be the first ones to enter and the last to leave the park and also get yelled at my the lifeguard at the beach. But even with just my parents and Madison it was still so much fun! I love feeling like I'm a little kid all over again and getting excited over riding the Winnie the Pooh ride or passing Mickey or Minnie and wanted their autograph! Oh I just love Disneyland and it truly is one of the happiest places on earth. I have so many memories of the place and no matter how old you are it never gets old :) 

I Still Know Who She Is

So I came acrossed this cute story at spirituallythinking.blogspot.com It made me want to make sure I find a cute husband that if anything ever happened to me in the future he would be right by my side through the thick and thin!

"It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80′s arrived at the hospital to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. The nurse took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer’s Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, ‘And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?’ He smiled as he patted my hand and said, ‘She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.’"

Graduation Blues

So its finally happened. The day I have been dreading for months....Graduation! I haven't wanted graduation to come at all this year all because I am losing some of my closest friends! Yes I understand its not like I'm never going to see them again, but I wont see them every day anymore :( I even have to say goodbye to all my Park Valley friends for the summer and it makes me sad just thinking they are 80 miles away from me! Graduation day was great. I don't even think you could consider me going to school that day. I just hung out with all my friends, helped Karissa pack up her room in town, and then to Logan to meet up with Devin's family and the Thompson's for dinner at Gaucho Grill. At dinner I was brave and tried a chicken heart. Ya I'm proud to say I actually swallowed that thing! Then we went to graduation and I watched some of my best friends start a new chapter in my life! They all make me so proud :) All through graduation me and Karissa kept looking at each other and saying "THIS IS US NEXT YEAR" and it was so unreal to me. It still hasn't hit me yet that in one year I'm gonna start me life and be the one to throw my cap up in the air and say I DID IT!! After graduation me and Karissa took a journey to Park Valley and had the most amazing talks ever :) Gol I just love that girl! All in all it was a great/sad day at graduation!
