So yesterday I had the privilege of going to my friends Dustin Parmley and Nicole Mullen's wedding. They got married in the LDS Logan Temple and then had a dinner and dancing at a wonderful small house a few blocks away. We got up there just a bit late for the dinner but they were very understanding about our tradiness. She was gorgeous and they looked blissful. They are wonderful together and I wish them all the best. However, if any of my friends again decide to get married in Logan in the winter I will wish them all the best and say have fun without me. :-) It took us over 3 hours to drive the normal 1 and 1/2 hour drive up and about that long coming home. The freeway was frozen and I decided that I am not that happy to be driving on ice in my little Prius. Thankfully we caravanned with dad in his Toyota Tonka Toy and so I knew if anything bad happened they would be there to help.
This leads me to my 2nd Day of Christmas. Since I talked about the women in my family I am sure you can guess what I am going to talk about today. My Men! Dad was a sweetheart yesterday and danced with me at the reception. He always wants me to be happy, even though he is not sure how to help with that, he does his best to "fix" my problems. He is so supportive of his children and I am so blessed to have him as my father.
I have four wonderful brothers and one almost brother. Shawn is working so hard to be a great father and husband. When I look at him I am so proud of the adult he has become, he recently finished his degree at UVU before going to UofU this winter. I hope he knows how impressed I am by him. Scott is my sanity. I am so grateful to have him in my life. I was joking with Alicia the other day that the man I marry someday will not only have to compete with my dad but with Scott as an ideal. I am trying to make a mental change when I look at Matt and Erik. Matt is still one of the sweetest most loving people I know and watching him be an adult with a family is an amazing experience. Erik is so mature for his age and he is so intelligent. I love talking with him and getting to know the adult he is becoming. Jesse I am still getting to know. But, I love him because he makes Alicia glow. I hope as the years progress I will get to know him better and come to love him for himself.
Thanks to all the men in my family for loving me and making me a better person.

Awww... you, again, are so sweet. I read what you wrote about Shawn to Shawn and he was so touched. Your a great sister and friend. We love you. :D
ReplyDeleteBecca, I am truly jealous...
ReplyDeleteI am a little glad that I didn't do the pics for the Parmley wedding. She asked, but our prices were too high. Good thing, too, because I can hardly move with this neck problem, and driving in the snow... well, I think I would have had to cancel out! And that would have been terrible.
So glad to see all those fine men in your life! Keep up with the posts! They are so fun to read!
