I'm not going to lie I am probably dad's favorite child, or at least I tell him I am. Mom says it's because I am the only kid that looks like her... Really he doesn't play favorites but I am so happy I have such a close relationship with him. I just wanted to tell dad thanks for everything! He is truly my hero and I look up to him probably more than he'll ever realize.Dad- Thanks for...
- Being my 20 mile running partner
- All of our late, late, late night talks and
- Early, early morning gym excursions
- Always being so willing to give me a blessing whenever I need it or ask for one.
- Letting me kick your students out of your office so we can talk (and letting me sit in your chair).
- Encouraging and supporting me in absolutely everthing I do!
- Spending countless hours in the MET and other art museums with me and just bonding and soaking it all in. And of course teaching me about "good art"
- The numberless papers you have proofread and proofread and proofread
- Staying up with me super late so I didn't have to stay up by myself while I do homework
- Going on walks with me when I need to clear my mind
- Letting me use your space heater at work (and letting me sleep under your desk between classes when I have had one too many late nights/early mornings)
- Sharing your testimony with me
- Teaching me about the scriptures/gospel. (I love when we do the deep discussions! You know so much about the gospel and I absolutely love when we discuss it)
- Going into used book stores with me and spending hours, and hours.
- Always knowing when I need a hug and drying my tears when I'm having a rough day
- Driving me to school/work when I just can't handle the bad weather.
- Talking to me on the phone so I don't wig out during rush hour traffic.
- Being my foosball partner
- Teaching me to play pool (even if I am your handicap)
- Being so patient!
- Working so hard in everything you do to provide for the family
- Helping me paint my room super cute
- there is so many more things I could write but if I'm not careful this blog post may turn into a novel... But I wanted to write one last thing: Thanks so much for always being there for me when I need someone to just listen to me, especially during the hardest trials in my life and helping me to put things back into perspective.
This week Tif and Josh blessed cute little Moira. I love this picture of Dad, Kali, Moira, and I.
Look at how cute all the girls are! Why wasn't I in this picture? haha
I love holding little Moira, she is such a good baby! I like to hog her. When she grows up I know I will be her favorite aunt. This week school starts... so I will be doing a lot of this -----> and not a lot of blogging or anything else as a matter of fact. I am not ready to say good bye to summer. I guess I am a little excited to get back into a structured/routine life but totally sad at the same time.
The picture is kind of bad so if you can't tell what it is of, it's of mom and I. I am sitting on the couch (I look oh so happy... haha) with a blanket (i'm always cold) with my backpack, laptop, textbooks, and a notebook studying my brain out. goodbye freedom, hello fall semester.

Thank you Juli Stewart! You just made my life when you commented on my blog, in case you were wondering! Thanks for that! I am excited about the fact that I can now blog stalk you when I am trying to waste my time not doing homework once school starts! ;) Much love. and YES, we must hang out! Goodness we are bad! 15 minutes from each other is hardly anything!
P.S. Super cute post about your dad! He is so cute. Remember how he painted Polar Bears in our lunch room? I always loved being able to tell people my friends dad did that! haha
