Happy Father's Day!

Here are some things I'm really enjoying lately:

-Comments on my blog. Call me vain, but it's such a wonderful feeling to hear from you people out there. You're neeeeat.

-Work. I love it. I'll have to do a post this week and remember all the funny things those children say and do. Arts and crafts in the park really brings out the best in people, is all I can say. :)

-The fact that the world isn't ending! We talked about this in Sunday School today. Hahaha, I used to get all panicky everytime there was one of those lessons, like SWEET SUNDAY, LET ME LIVE. But now it's sort of amusing when people predict the world ending, which is pretty much EVERY MONTH now since it's 2012. Which is... GASP! When the Mayan calendar ends. My thinking is... they probably just ran out of stone or got so flipping tired of carving. Can you imagine carving THAT many years into the future from when you are alive? I'm pretty sure I'd hit a point where I'd be like, All right, guys. All right. None of us are going to be alive by then. NONE of us. Not even our babys' babys' babys'. Sooo. Let's go make a human sacrifice or something, already, am I right?! However, my friend Manda suggested that the Mayans probably asked their kids to continue it and they dropped the ball. This is, I think, also very plausible.

-There is an old couple in my ward, named the Humbles, who are both old and white haired, and every week when I look over in sacrament, whether they are awake or not, they are steadily holding hands. I love that.

-Everytime I creep on my cousin Kim's blog about her preschool, I get really excited about the fact that that will be me someday. :) I am going to be so happy being a teacher. G'head. Give it a gander: Sunshine Preschool. She's absolutely AMAZING. No big deal! I look up to her so much.

-On the subject of boys today:

Mom: "You could do worse."

Me: "And I have!"

(we both proceed to laugh awkwardly hard during sacrament meeting. Oh... I mean, what? Yes, sister, your talk is sooo funny...? )

-And finally, my DADDY. I am probably the luckiest person alive. My dad is the only man in an all-girl house, and there couldn't be a better guy for the job. He is one my best friends, and I love going places with him. We both love burgers to the max, and sometimes he lets me cry and gives me good advice. He holds the priesthood and wants to help me with anything I need. He's a little gruff, but only because he doesn't want you to see how ridiculously tender he is. My sister Tori got married yesterday, and he was crying so hard through her wedding video that it made me absolutely fall apart. He is an amazing man, and I know he wants the world for each of us. I'll always appreciate how important my being an educated, well-rounded person is to him.

Also, we can make eye contact when we're around special people, and he just says, "HhhoookkKKKAY" and we laugh for a long time. Or he sings, "aaawwwkwaard" and I really like it. And when people cut him off, he says, "WHAT'S THIS CAT DOING?!!!" and it's so funny that I start to secretly hope people do. Not really, but I mean. Kind of. He is so intelligent and has an amazing work ethic. Also, over dinner the other night, my sister joked about having a happy trail, and my dad was like, "It's a Mormon Trail." And we were like... "Dad. What?" And he was like, "You know, cause it leads to the Promised Land." And I laughed for at least 20 minutes after. He is HILARIOUS. Also, whenever something is shady, he calls it, "low-budget." Regardless of how much money was involved. And he understands art, and me, and we like going for drives and doing things together.

I LOVE my dad. Happy Father's Day! You're the best one I could've gotten and a daily reminder that Heavenly Father knows who I am and wants me to be happy. Love you, daddy. :)

We'll be best buddies forever, dude.

Sorry I always wore your clothes... And sorry I still do. :) I enjoy you, dad.
