My cute friend Kristen put this on her blog and I thought it was fun so I decided to take the quiz. Here are the results!

You Are Belle!

Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.

Oh What Fun We Had!

This week my sister brought my nephews up for basketball camp and so she decided to stay with me for the week. I was so excited! She and her other 4 kids showed up on Monday night. It was so good to see them. Of course me being the retard that I am, I forgot to take pictures. Basically, I am not going to ever have any photo memories.

Anyways, so this week I got to hang out with her and her kids. It was so much fun. I had Emily come in to my work for a massage and then I took her kids to get lunch and eat it at the park. You will never believe what happened there when I tell you.  My neices maddy and sydney were climbing trees and found a really long caterpillar. Maddy was so excited, and she wanted to take it home and make it her pet of course. Well, this little girl that we don't know comes up and asks Maddy if she can play with it. Maddy being the sweet girl that she is let this little girl play see the little caterpillar. Once this girl has the caterpillar she proceeds to tell maddy that she is not going to give and back and that it is hers now since maddy let her see it and look at it. Well, I told that little girl ( who I have other names for but will not use) to give Maddy back the caterpillar since she had it first. The little girl says that she won't and then she runs of and smashes the caterpillar. Maddy was devistated. I was angry and ready to scream at this little girl, all the while wondering where her mother is during all of this chaos. Needless to say I didn't scream at this little girl, but told her to get away from Maddy and the other kids. I was very nice and but firm and so the squashing caterpillar girl left us and all in all our lunch ended well. Then later on that day the girls came and got little pedicures at the salon. It was so much fun.

The rest of the week was filled with the discovery museum, shopping, late night talks, watching the boys play basketball and ended with them dropping me off and heading for home. I was so sad to see them leave. I don't get to hang out with them very often and so it was so much fun! Thanks for coming to visit Em!!! I hope that you guys come back soon.

Happy Fathers Day, Dad!!



I just thought that today I would post a few things about this amazing person that I call Dad.

Through out my life, my dad has been a constant source of faith, love, encouragement, selflessness, problem solving, a listening ear, commitment, fun and a friend. I could not have asked for anyone better to put up with me than him. He has always been someone that I want to be like and I feel like if I even get close to half that I should be ok. He is the strongest person that I know. Through personal trials and just plain old life, he comes out on top every time. I just want to share with you some of the things that he has done for me over the years.

When I was about 5 years old, my family moved from Paul, Idaho to Salt Lake City since my grandparents had moved there and my mom wanted to be close to her family. My dad's business was still in Paul and so he would leave every Sunday night after we went to bed and then would come home every Thursday night. This made it really difficult for Dad to be able to make it to things like softball games, school plays, choir and piano recitals, and all of those midweek activities that seem to always be going on. You would have never guessed that it was hard on him at all because from the way I remember it, he was at every single one he could be too. The only times he didn't make it where when he was on a business trip, but he made sure that you knew that he wanted to be there more than anything in the world. You always knew that no matter what you were his first priority. The thing that you should know is that he would drive at least 6 hours every night that he did this. He would leave work in the afternoon and then he would drive all the way back to work that night. Thank you Dad for always making me feel so important.



Another thing that I have been taught is that family is the most important thing in all the world. Things will come and go, life will come and go, but your family will always be there and they are the most important. Dad has always shown that to us. You will always know that you are the most important thing in his life no matter how much you mess up or hurt him, you always know that he loves you and that he will be there for you no matter what. He might call you a "Churnhead" or a few other names, but you still know that he loves you.

Dad has always showed by example that helping others, selflessness and service is how life is suppose to work. I have never met someone so eager and willing to help people and is always finding someone in need or helping his family. Dad has often asked that for Christmas that we don't spend money on gifts for him, but to pull together and find someone that could use Christmas more than him and help them. He is always teaching by his example that this is important.

If you have ever met dad you would know that this man loves to have fun. He is always up for a party and having a good time. There is definitely never a dull moment in the life of the beebster.


Well, now that I have rambled on and could still keep going I better stop now since I have probably embarrassed him. I just want to say Happy Fathers Day Dad! I love you so much and thanks for everything you have taught me and for your love and support over the years. You are so amazing and I don't know where I would be without you. You have always been such and amazing example in everything that you do. You deserve to have a wonderful day and I am sorry that I can't be there to share it with you. So here is my tribute to you. I love you so much!
