IF you didn't realize this already, I'm a little obsessed with family get togethers. I can't get enough of my siblings and parents. Any chance to see them, I'm freaking there. So I was really excited to host a quick Merrifield party this weekend. I have one sister moving to North Carolina and a brother moving to Wyoming. I'll be the only child left in Utah. Weird, huh? So two siblings showed up Friday night, and then the other sibling and my parents arrived on Saturday.
We ate too much, swam at the pool, played at the park, and just sat around visiting. I cried when it was over. I probably won't see some of them for a while. It stinks. I know my siblings wouldn't go for this but I secretly wish we all lived in the same town. I'd be in heaven!
AND...Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Dad.
Thanks for:
Joining the church when you were 15.
Chasing off that other guy so Mom would date you.
Having your 5th child :)
Teaching me right from wrong, love, kindness, determination, hard work and confidence.
Teaching me the gospel, setting an example and honoring your priesthood.
Most of all...for just being a REALLY good Dad!
