The Men In My Life

So I am going to be 24 in the next month! And everyone is exceptionally great in reminding me that I need to get a MAN in my life! It would make my life a whole lot easier. Let me just tell you I am excited to meet the MAN of my dream who I will get to spend eternity with, I have not had the opportunity yet to meet that MAN but I believe that one day I will. But until I do I would like to tell you about a couple of special MEN in my life. Let me give you a little back story I went up to Cottonwood for general conference weekend. My wonderful father who I love and he is a very special MAN in my life but he did not make my cut for my post today. Sorry dad I love you. But he got my hints of how we never really go out as a family like we used to when I was younger. So he got his Rhino and quad out and we went on a quad ride. We had my 1st special guy come along with us. As I was riding my quad I was thinking I probably don't tell him enough that I love him and how special he was to me.

So with out further a do here is my 1st special MAN in my life... My Grandad ...


There are many reasons why I love this guy and its not just cause he is my Grandad. For example when all the cousins wanted to go on a hike he was the one that would take us to the Indian Ruins. When we all get married he makes us a Hope Chest all by him self. He would do anything I ask. Well at least he makes me think that. I have memories of going to my Grandads house and pick cherries from his Cherri tree. He would never yell unless we played guns and we shot somebody. That was never okay at Grandads house. He is always willing to come help out with my house. If anything is ever broke he is the one to call to fix it. He loves his family and lets them know it. He can quote Cowboy Poetry like it was his first language.T hose are just a few things to show how awesome my Grandad is.



The 2nd special MAN in my life is my Grandpa...



My Grandpa is special to me for many reasons and let me tell you some. My Grandpa is very good with his hands. Just like my Grandad he does a lot with wood he makes shelves, hat racks, any type of thing you want to make with wood he is the one to call. Give him time he can make just about anything. He loves my Grandma very much and lets us all know how much he misses her when she is gone. My Grandpa can name any John Wayne movie, or quote any Louis L'Amour book that you throw his way. The same weekend I was thinking I should dedicate a post to my Grandpa's my Grandpa had a minor stroke. My mother and I arrived at my Grandparents house just as my Grandpa was being loaded into the ambulance. It was a very scary time for my family. He is doing a lot better he just loses the conversation from time to time. I realized how much I would miss my Grandpa if something worse were to happen to him.


So I wanted you all to know about these two great MEN I have in my life and how much they mean to me.


You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world.
