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.
So Matia also got a chance to go to the Bean Museum on a field trip as well. I was not lucky enough to go on this one however, a very good friend of mine was able to go and sent me some of the photos she took on the field trip. Matia is also a good example of what a Kindergartner student should be. She is always listening with her cute ears. And she tries so hard to be a good friend to everyone. I love your spunky darling personality Matia. I love the way you always want to make me happy. With your surprises and paper crafts all over my house. Love you babe Thanks for being you.
