So I thought I would expand on myself for a moment for those that don't know this about me. Ever since I was very little I have had a few things that I can't explain why but I could never get enough of them and when I was really hurting during different times in my life I would cling to these things. One is the love of horses. I remember my first horse Princess I loved her so much she was a auburn Quarter Horse that was a perfect ride for us small children. I loved horses but there was nothing like a horseback ride along with my dad. I can't explain the freedom I feel from all the day to day pains in life. I have a sense of completness when I am riding next to my dad on the horse. I feel safe next to my dad, I feel like he would never let anything happen to me. My dad also gives me a sense of determination. That yes, I Kristi can do anything I set my mind to. He has always had more faith in myself then I ever did. And when I am around him it rubs off on me and I feel that I can do anything. Well almost you see we went riding on a bright Sunday morning just the two of us. However it was a very windy day and our horses have not been ridden much in the wind so they were spookey and there was only one hill I would not follow him up because of the mood Ruby my horse had been in. I loved every minute of it and I cherish those moments more then my dad will ever know. 
The other love of my life is water. I love to swim, I would also follow my dad into any lake he jumped in. And my dad would jump in alot of lakes. So every year for my birthday if I wasn't going on a horseback ride with my dad we were borrowing my Grandpa Bennions boat and we were boating. I have always loved the feeling I get when I am surrounded by water on a boat. Wether it is a kayak, raft, ski boat, cruise ship. I love them all but I especially love the time I spend on our boat as a family. Thank you dad for everything you do for me and have taught me to be. I love you.

I wish I could have been there with you. I also love horsebackriding and anything that is with my dad. Princess was the best, I still remember when we had to sell her. Man I miss horsebackriding. We are a lot a like but I just wish I was as crazy in the water as you and so does Mike. He loves to go swimming with our family when we have gone through the years because you are so daring and love the water so much. You are awesome. We also share the great love of our dad. What would we do without him!!
