I went to my grandparents' house tonight for a Father's Day barbeque and I made the decision to tell my extended family that I'll be receiving my mission call on Wednesday. Their faces were priceless-complete and utter shock! They had no clue I was even considering it. It was awesome! My uncle thought my big announcement was that I was engaged--he has never been a very bright guy, seeing as I haven't brought a guy around for awhile and I don't have a ring on my finger. It's great to finally have my secret almost out in the open--it will officially be out on Thursday--I can't post it on Facebook until then because I need to tell my manager at work first and he happens to be on Facebook. It will be such a relief to not have to hide it anymore.
In the spirit of Fathers' Day I just wanted to say how much I love my dad! He and I are very close--I am the complete epitome of a daddy's girl. My dad has always been the first person I turn to for everything and has always been there for me for anything and everything I need. I consider him a best friend. He's always been there to dry my tears or, if needed, to make me laugh until I can't even remember why I was sad. He's taught me to be the person I am today. He's taught me to not let others control my emotions, to stand up for what I believe in, and no matter what, to never stop laughing. He's been an amazing example to me and I feel truly blessed and honored that he is my dad.
