I saw my family on Saturday night, there was some celebrating to do, and my dad came up to me all excited to tell me something. He explained that he read my blog about the watching your faith grow primary project and had decided to do it for sharing time. First of all it made me so happy that he was reading my blog and then so elated, that besides getting to know me better, he found inspiration reading my words. He told me I better not share this, sorry dad, but I had to. It is such a great example of why I blog. Why I choose to share my life...for connection, strength, and inspiration.
And I couldn't post today without showing you why my spring feelings are dashed. It was 50 something degrees yesterday and I woke up to this...

So heartwarming that your dad is finding inspiration in your blog!
Ooh, that picture looks very wintery. Not really what you want to see when you have spring fever! But, it's right there underneath.
I think that it is so fun that your Dad did that for his sharing time? Was he doing a class presentation or something? I think that is so cool on so many levels! SO fun!!!
Sorry to hear about more snow! I think that spring can't come fast enough for any of us!
so cool amy!!! it really is a great reason. how heart warming to have an experience like that with your dad. blogging really has a rippling effect on so many. i for one appreciate what you share for many reasons!
That is so sweet, Amy! I always love it when my parents read my blog -- I feel like we've really gotten to know each other better through communicating this way. I was surprised by the snow this morning too!
What a wonderful thing to hear from your Dad. It must have felt so great to know that you inspired him. I love it!
I am with you on the snow. Yesterday was so nice out. I was going to clean out my car but by the time I went outside, it had begun to snow. I am so over it!
I am also "elated" when I hear my parents have read my blog. There is something still in us, I guess, that looks to our parents for "approval" and "interest" taken in our lives. What a great story. Sorry, but not surprised about the return snow.
Yeah, it was a depressing sight this morning to look outside and see snow! Well, we all knew it couldn't last. February likes to tease us with a little good weather, and then cruelly take it away.
That is really cool about your dad. Don't you sometimes wonder who the lurkers are on your blog? How surprising to find that your father is one of them and that he took your words to heart.
I feel for you. We have been tormented with 23 degree weather for the last 2 weeks. But alas, we had 72 today and I'm loving it. I just don't know how long I can be excited. I wish weather would just pick a temp. and stick with it. No more up and down, back and forth. One temp (obviously give or take a few), but going from 50 to freezing, or in my case 23 to 70 just does wonders on the body.
Love that your parents read your blog. My mom reads mine and I'm a bit mixed. I love that she gets to hear about our lives, but I'm a master at masking my emotions and blogging has been a bit of an outlet for me. I've found that since I know she is reading it, I'm more reserved.
Gotta love Utah weather! I remember years when there was snow for my birthday (end of April!) But for your sake I hope that is NOT true this year. Thinking about you this week with your birthday coming up. I am sure you are going to get a TON of good mail. I am really enjoying your blog so much. Miss you lots.
I got an email from my mom saying it had snowed there today. I assumed it was just a little skiff, but that's definitely not a skiff out your window! Hope you're keeping cozy!
I was in love this weekend with a temp of 71. Today it was crappy wind, no sun and gloomy. Surprisingly it didn't get me down. I was just mad about the teaser this weekend.
Love that you helped your dad out without even knowing it. Your blog is very inspiring!
Your dad is just too sweet. How awesome that he reads your blog! I want you to know that know how thankful I am for your posts. You have a way of explaining exactly how you feel, a talent I wish I had--thank you for sharing so many personal things, you have no idea how much it has helped me.
oh wow what a wonderful post...and inspiring your dad? that must be sooo cool! I always think that my parents read my blog from their Temple Mission in Paraguay, but I am almost sure that they do not. ...I can't believe the weather...but it is true, saturday i took the kids to the beach to see the sunset and play in the sand and it was 67 degrees at 7 PM and then the next day it was really really cold and raining....crazy!
What a sweet thing. I love he got very into it. Beautiful picture by the way!
