I took this way awesome quiz on facebook and decided I'd give Dad something to read. Tell me if you agree or not!
Abby completed the quiz "What Decade Fits Your Personality Best?" with the result 1920's.
You are classy, not afraid to go against the norm, and love to celebrate the joys of life. You love to be in the "right now" of society's latest "new thing" and because of that you exert the latest fashions and put a high priority on having a great time. After all, you deserve it after all the struggles you have gone through in life thus far. You have a little rebel in you, although you don't overtly show it because you keep yourself and your standards classy, sophisticated, and elegant. And chances are, you have a thing for jazz music. You are a perfect combination of lady-like and party animal...

Father's Day
I know it's a little late because Father's Day was 2 days ago, but I figured it's better late than never! I just want to put a little tribute on my blog to my father. Here are some things that I know I'll never forget about him.
1. His excellent work ethic. My dad often works from sun-up to sun-down with few breaks in between. He's not afraid of taking on huge tasks and stays with them until they are done right.
2. His generosity. My dad always tries to help everyone else out. He is always looking for the person who can't help themselves and needs someone to reach out for them. Even when they're not reaching out, my dad will give them a hand anyways.
3. His love of animals. Everytime my dad walks up the stairs after getting home from work, the first thing he'll do is growl at Oscar and make him bark and run around. It's their idea of play time. And he also takes him to bed so they can cuddle all night, until Mom kicks Oscar out. When we watch a movie, my dad loves to have the cats and dog around him so he can pet and scratch them until they get sick of being bugged and run away. (But that's ok because it happens to all of us)
4. His somewhat loud teaching voice. It works very well in the classroom or when trying to communicate across a football field.
5. His love of chatting-it-up. My grandma even commented that she has never seen anyone talk as much as my dad. He did it even when he was a little boy, just strike up a conversation with random people. It just shows how comfortable he is with his own life that he can share as much as he does with others. This attribute compliments #2 on my list very well. While sharing a lovely conversation, he finds out what people need and does his best to help them.
6. His love of family. Everytime my brother brings his boys up, my dad loves to play with them and make them laugh. He plays with them in much the same way that he does with Oscar, but it works. He always wants pictures at every family gathering (even if it's just Sunday dinner) because he wants to be able to remember all the good (and not-so-good) times.
Well, that's a good start for now. There are many more things that make my dad what he is, but I think this gives you a pretty good idea as to what he's about.
p.s. Dad said he wants both of you that read this to write your own blog about him for Father's Day. He told me to tell you.

Can't Sleep, Again
Well, I find myself awake in the middle of the night even though I laid down to sleep 2 hours ago. So, since I'm up I'd thought I'd put something on here to try and entertain everyone! Enjoy!

2 AM
I think I have too much of my grandmother in me. Right now it's 2:08 AM and I can't sleep a wink. I try to make sure that I exercise and eat right (because I hear that helps) and I try not to sleep in too long. But after taking a sleeping pill and laying in bed for 2 1/2 hours, I figure I better get up and do something until I feel like I can sleep.
I think part of the reason it's hard for me to sleep is because I have so many thoughts running through my head. Maybe if I get them down I can sleep. One of these thoughts is about a friend of mine who recently returned from a mission. I haven't seen him yet, but I'm going to his church on sunday to listen to his talk. It should be interesting. I wonder how he's changed? I wonder what he'll think of how I've changed? Will things be weird between us or can we just go back to that old friendship? Also, he'll probably ask about things that happened to me a few months after he left. Things I haven't really talked about in awhile. I think I can talk about it fine, but with him it'll be different because he was pretty involved. I don't know what he'll say about it. Just different things that I'm curious as to how he'll react.
The second thing is something a little different. I met a guy last weekend and I think he's pretty funny. He reminds me a lot of Joni and Andy, actually. Maybe that's why I feel so comfortable around him. It may be weird, but he's 28 years old. But he already has a job, is done with college, has his own car, and I think he's cute! Some ladies I work with said I should call him on friday if he hasn't already called me. But I don't call people, especially to ask guys on dates. Maybe it'll be a learning experience for me. But what do I say? What do I invite him to do? Will he blow me off? Do I care if he blows me off? I just hope he calls me first so I don't have to deal with all of that.
I think I'll try to sleep now that I've gotten those things off my chest. Maybe it will come and I won't be too tired in the morning.
