Post-Mission Call

It has been almost a month since I opened my mission papers.


Oh, how time flies. 100 more days until I leave, and I know that it will be here before I know it. I can't wait. I try to stay busy, and trust me.. it's not that hard to do while in college.. but it's always there. Whether it's in the back of my mind, or the front.. it's constantly reminding me of the amazing opportunity I have to serve a mission. There are moments where I feel like it's all a dream that I'm going to wake up from, but it's not.. and that's the best part. :)

Life lately:

 Volleyball Games
 Archery
 Movie Nights
 Chocolate Fondue, and Pretzels
& Basketball Games



I want to give a shout-out to my parents. 
I'll be the first to tell you that I often take them for granted. The phone calls, the random texts, and skype sessions. Whether we are talking about the weather, life, or a Thunder game from the night before, I look forward to every conversation. They tell me they love me. They support me. They listen to my occasional rants, and can always bring a smile to my face. More importantly, I love that they love each other. Whether it's a corny joke from my dad, or encouragement from my mom.. I don't know where I'd be without either of them.

Daddy

Today is Father's Day, and I am feeling so grateful for mine.

Pops 

He is the man who taught me:
It's good to have wants.
To never make mom mad.
How to fish, mow & shoot a gun. 
Lights.. they don't turn off themselves.
OU football.
How to eat ribs.
To always put my Heavenly Father first in life, with family close behind. 
Money doesn't grow on trees.
How to throw and catch a softball.
To put others before myself.
That I can always be better.
...the list could go on.


He's always believed in me and supported me in every way as I follow my dreams. He treats my mother with love and respect and is a true example of how a husband should be to his wife. He is the best father to his 5 children and never lets a day go by without letting us know that he loves us.
Oh, how I love him.

 I hope and pray that one day... I will marry a man just like my daddy.
