Last night I got to talk to my dad on the phone. I always talk to my mom and Kenny's parents but not to my dad so I really started to miss him. I am getting all teary eyed just writing about it. I miss home so much! I didn't want to write this in my blog and let people know how I feel because for the most part I am doing really good and I am happy with what Kenny and I have decided to do. As anyone knows who has lived far away, I just have those days sometimes. It has been really hard for me to be away from all of my sisters and brothers but especially my little sisters and brother who are still living at home. I hate missing everything in their lives, I want to be there as they grow up and be a part of it. Now getting back to why I wrote this post, I just wanted to tell how much I love my dad. I look up to him in so many ways. When I was growing up I always thought that my dad was the best and could do anything, in my eyes he was the smartest man I knew. I guess those feelings don't fade easily. He seems pretty rough around the edges but he loves and cares for people more than they know. He is a pretty cute cowboy too. This picture was taken right before we moved when we were out at the ranch for a Sunday drive.
