Father's Day

This is my dad! He is riding a tractor with my nephew. Well I know its a day late but I really wanted to do this post about this amazing man. He is a man who has taught me so much; hard work, service, to be kind, he also taught me how to swear. Just kidding my mom taught me that. hehehe!! I'm proud to be his daughter and I won't change it for the world.


Driving: I do remember riding with him. Yes going for a drive he hardly ever made me get out to get the gate or to help even if I wanted too.  I drove with him in the truck to check cows (he would always point out the babies to me), We drove to the quarry to get rocks for a rode, we drove to the college so he could check his emails. It was always fun because I got to spend time with my dad.

Naps: Naps where also awesome. Dad would come in from the farm and put on a horse training video and fall asleep. I was so little like 3-5 yrs old and I would crawl up on the couch next to him and have a nap. I'm sure it wasn't comfortable but it was the best thing in the world spending time with dad.

I love my dad and how all he wants is for all of his kids to be happy and together. He's always there to share words of knowledge and wisdom. I'm very grateful to call him Father. Happy Father's Day!!

CHEAT DAY!!!!

Okay so every Wednesday and Sunday are cheat days!!!! Yes I pig out a little too much. Seriously after 2 bags of chips and some chocolate (trust me there was much more) I knew I was well over my limit!!!! I will say I mowed the rest of the yard. I wanted to burn some leaves but it was just too wet. Also while raking the leaves I found 3 baby snakes! EWWW! One for sure was a baby cooperhead, one was just a regular black snake and not sure what the other one was maybe a rat snake but I killed two of them and let one live so he can warn the other snakes! LOL Jokes. Well it was a fun but a crazy day.
Love

A Good Day

Okay after a good day at work. It really was a great day. Really very little drama and we got so much stuff done at work. Then I came home and mowed the front yard. This isn't easy because its all up hill and I own a push mower. I still like doing it because I normal lose like 2 lbs when I add this exercise to my route. Well that was all done it was time for dinner. Tonight was a diet Coke and Hardee's Chicken tenders. Seriously they are the freshest and the best. LOVE THEM!!!!!! Truly it was so good. Now it's time for a little FHE and then get ready for bed. It's been a really good day and I think the difference is that it started with a prayer. Praying sets the day off to a good start and allows you to listen to the spirit. Now this day wasn't a day without any problems but it was one of the best day I've had in weeks. I hope all is well and you are having a wonderful day.

Get Lesdy!

Okay what does it mean to get Lesdy?? Well it means to get lesson ready! This last week after and inspiring 5th Sunday message from your bishop about early to bed and early to rise and about scripture study. I decided i needed to be more Lesdy. This is totally my word not from the bishop. This last week I've been reading all the lessons for the classes on Sunday I can say that it has made a difference in my thoughts and questions that I would want to ask during class! So are you Lesdy????

Celebrate

I love to Celebrate! Now I know I'm not the most fun person. I tend to be very serious and take things to heart. Whoever I love creating fun. Holidays where always special to me growing up special breakfast, giving gifts getting to do things out of the ordinary was always fun for me. Last year I didn't celebrate much because I was working and really didn't feel like it. This year I'm going to try to do something during each Holiday!! This year I asked off for the Fourth of July! I know we are going to end up at endless BBQ's and that we WILL be shooting off fireworks. We lived in Australia you have to be a certified technician to shoot them off. Today I made some cute little bows to wear some are for family members and one is for me. I really do enjoy being creative and although there is a lot that I still need to learn I can only get better at it.
