Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day! What a wonderful and special day it is to celebrate the wonderful men in our lives. I feel so blessed to have been born into a family where my father was around and apart of my life. My dad is not perfect, but he was always there for me, whether cheering me on at races, dance performance, or anything that I had going on in my life. I'm grateful that my father taught me the importance of hard work, my dad knew had to work. Being a born one a ranch and raised as a Cowboy, he for sure kneiw what hard work was.He also taught me a wonderful principle of helping those in need. I'm grateful that my dad taught me how important it is to have a relationship with our Heavenly Father and to gain a testimony of the Gospel. I am so bless to have a father who loves me! Another special man in my life is my amazing husband, Paul. I know I say this a lot, but how did I get so lukcy? Paul is the best dad! Every morning, Leah and I drop off Paul at school and EVERY single time Paul gets out of the car, Leah starts whinning/crying. That little girl LOVES her daddy. I love looking at Leah's face when we get Paul from school and she sees him walking towards the car, she has a smile from ear to ear. Or when he walks in the door, she smiles and starts dancing, it is so sweet. Those two are two peas in a pod, they will laugh and play for hours. I'm so happy that Paul is a hands on dad and doesn't sit around and let me do all the work. He is always helping me with Leah, wether it's taking her outside to play while I finish up dinner or help me make dinner(even though he was at school for 10+ hours). He will do the dishes without me asking him, clean the bathroom. I could go on and on about this amazing man:) Paul works so hard at everything he does. He recently took an Organic Chemistry test the other day and studied for 20+ hours for it and got a 92% on the written part and overall he got an 84% on the test. I mean Organic Chemistry, that is hard stuff. In his class the avagerage was a 66%, so he did WAY above avagerage. Sorry, for bragging, I know Paul would want me to stop. I am just so proud of my husband:) Paul, is kind to me and is ALAWYS there for me. For instance, I was having a hard day with Leah and Paul has been gone a lot lately because he takes the MCAT this coming Thursday so he is studying his brains out. Anyways, I was having a bad day and I kept texting him about how horrible my day is going and how our almost 18 month old wouldn't listen to me. Even though he was spending his day off studying away for our future, he told me he was so sorry. He never told me to stop ad suck it up, he just supported me and listen. I know he could of complained about how horrible reading about equations for Phyiscs, but not once did he copmplain. I wish I could be more like him! I'm also grateful that a married a man who loves our Savior and has a testiomony of the Gospel. I can always ask him a question about something I read in the sciptures and he can either give me an answer or we will look it up together. Paul, is just wonderful! I am so happy that is the father to our precious little girl and soon to be son. I love you Paul! Happy Father's Day! I just want to Thank my father in law for being a great example to his son. Raun, is always helping someone. He is always serving someone else, besides himself. He too knows what hard work means. Raun never sits down, he is always doing something. He taught his sons not to be idle and work. How grateful I am that he taught his sons the principle of working hard. He also taught them the Gospel and to honor their priesthood. Thank you Raun, for teaching your sons so many wonderful and valuable life lessons.
