Father's Day

Listener

Teacher

Comforter

Coach

...all things my dad is and more.

I am one lucky girl to have the father that I have

He is always there when I need him

My dad...

 makes me laugh when I am sad.

makes me smile when I am angry.

makes me feel beautiful every second of every day

makes my trials into experiences.

He is the dad who dances at Disneyland 

{in front of an entire crowd might I add}

He is the dad who get's up to teach seminary

He is the dad who doesn't go to bed until all his kids are 

home and safe

He is the dad who makes us mickey mouse pancakes

He is the dad who beats us all in cards

He is the dad who is home every night for family dinner

He is the dad who answers {my}

numerous and tearful phone calls.

Thank you dad for everything you do.

You truly are the greatest dad

with the biggest heart.

I love you so much

Happy Father's Day

Love, 

Madison

Bike Ride

After coming home from work

Shannon and I decided to go on a bike ride

which turned into a 2 1/2 hour one!

Gorgeous weather, GG, and a great friend.

Nothing beats it.

Summer Days

Goodness friends

It's been far too long.

The sunshine has taken over my blogging abilities

We have had a week straight of sunshine.

And you can believe that I have taken full advantage.

Kevin {my gorgeous roommate Hayli's fiance}

hung us a hammock.

Which is where I have done most of my summer reading

Best thing about summer...no homework!

Which means no reading about all things nursing

So I have been filling my mind with everything else

{which includes lots of Bachelorette, So You Think You Can Dance, and Without a Trace}

My most recent book...Mudbound.

I think you should all check it out.

Anyway, back to my summer.

I had these cuties for a night

Meet Sam and Lucy.

These cute little kitties spent the night with me and the roomies

while their mamma's were in California.

Sadly, the landlord found out

(whoops)

so we had to part a little early

Friday night, Shannon and I headed to the Orem Fair

and caught the fireworks

{yes, Katy Perry's song firework was playing in my head the entire time}

So summer has been great

Lots more summer and sunshine to come!

I hope everyone is enjoying their's

PS.

My little sister Macey graduated from 8th grade as Valedictorian!

Way to go lil sis!

Love you!

Hello Friends

Goodness, it has been a while!

Can't get enough of the weather.

Last two days it has been nothing but sunshine

You can believe GG has been getting plenty of rides!

Lots of hammock laying on my porch

Lots of country music

{because we all know country music is that much better in the summertime}

Lots of watermelon

and lots of skirts

Its been grand.

Enjoy the sunshine!
