Dear Dad,

I can't even begin to express the amazing man that you are. The never ending care you provide for our family is remarkable. You're first priority has always been to make sure everyone else has been taken care of. You are very detail oriented, never missing a beat of what your family needs and the steps necessary to complete them. You're certainly one of the hardest workers I know... truly. Whether it is family needs, work, scouting, church callings, rotary- you put forth your full effort and somehow manage to keep life all balanced out... not quite sure how you do it! I do one thing and I feel like life is crazy! It's very admirable of you. You've been an example of finances, living within your means, secular and spiritual education, dedication, and passion. I really can't recall you speaking an ill word of anyone and you're always willing to serve others around you.

Most importantly dad, you've been an example of how to love and keep loving, serving our loving Heavenly Father and being worthy of his blessings, honoring your priesthood, loving your family, speaking kindly, and staying focused on the main goal of eternal life.

Thank you. Thank you to you and mom for the constant love you send my way. Thank you, for all that you have done for me- you've set the bar pretty high for the types of guys I date (maybe that's the reason I don't date?).

You're amazing... never forget it. I miss you.

Love,
Kris

Since Spain...

I have kept very busy. I have yet to find a weekend where I haven't been out of town.

I got in, went to Eden a few days later for Memorial Day Weekend. Went shooting for the first time in my life! Went to hang with a bestie (who else but my holiday buddy!) in Ptown where we went to a friend's BBQ for lunch, followed by a BBQ I held for dinner.

Logan was the next weekend where Mel, Kirk and I hit up some delish Mexi food, went to a farmer's market, a cheese factory to seek out some squeeky cheese, getting their garden ready... ok, so I took the passive approach on that one, but not intentionally! When my body wants to sleep it wants to sleep! J came up to get a break from Ptown and so we all went and got pizza, did church and then BBQ up a delicious dinner.

This past week, I've been in AZ for a Child Life conference for work. I was able to get in some family time, along with many enriching classes that have re-energized me and have given me some new ideas to apply in the coming weeks. Lucky for me, it was in AZ so I got to see the fam, save on hotel costs, and have a mix of work and the fam. What fun!

Some pics from the eventful past: bbq at my pad

Alright... some none foggies

For those of you that would like to see some non-foggy pictures of spain, and haven't seen them all already, follow this link-

and find an overload of unedited, unorganized pictures... sound enticing?

I had great plans of putting together some pics for the blog, but since their aren't friends taking siestas and me blogging for something to do while they were doing so, I haven't quite found the time since so put some non-foggy, taken on my phone camera of the real camera's display screen... enjoy!
