HOME

This weekend I went home to say goodbye to my friend Jeff, he left for the MTC today. Well his little shindig wasnt until saturday night so I spent all saturday with my dad. :]
We were bulding wall supports and putting up drywall for the new bedroom he is building upstairs. Then after we did all we could do with the drywall for the moment dad told me to look at the sky light. It had cracks all over it and looked really bad. Then out of no where dad asked if we should go to the store and get a new skylight! So naturally, we did! After having a wonderful adventure at the store haha we went home and got right to work!

After we took off the old Skylight


The old Skylight haha

On sunday after church and a few more hours of visiting I headed back to Thatcher.

Leaving the beautiful Haven I call home.

I had such a good weekend just my dad and me workin on the house. Some of you may not think that working on the house all weekend would be all that fun. But I love it. Its a time and a place that I get to be away from the worries of life and the struggle of school and just get closer to my dad. Its something that I have always done with him, and its when I feel most like myself. Just joking around, listening to classic rock (most of the time), trying to solve the little problems we run into, and of corse sharing a GIANT glass of water. These are the times that made me realize that I love drafting and house designs. These are the moments that helped me decide what I want to do with my life. It brings out the Me inside. :]

Thank you dad for letting me help you this weekend, it was something I really needed. I love you and mom so much. Thanks for supporting me in my goals and my dreams and all I do. And thank you for creating a place I can run/turn to, thank you for building a home I love.

Love you!

You are so fun to work with Carly. It makes me so happy that you like our projects as much as I do. I hope Zak gets his deer early next on Friday or Saturday so that we can see you before you go home to Thatcher. Zak enjoys your visits too! Love Dad.

Carly, you have figured out the real important things in life much earlier then most do. There is NOTHING, I mean nothing more important then spending time with the ones we love. Its were we find our true selfs, were we can love and be loved like no other relationship we will ever have. I am so glad you have such amazing parents, and family (including cousins:) ) Love ya girl!!
