Fathers day weekend 2011 (long but fun read)

Where to start, blogging more, Recital, Fathers day, or me reading WTF?
I'll start with the book as it leads me into wanting to do more things, I am currently almost finished with a book called "the 5 love languages" by Gary Chapman. This book is a wedding gift and i found it in my car a few months ago.  The funny part is I found the website for this book and a few assessments test to find out what love language  you speak. Made Frank take part as well told frank i wanted to get the book to read as it really intrigue me. maybe if i would be just a tad more organized i would of known that I owned the book already. Regardless it was like an other gift. a gift that keeps giving just go look in the car. lol I only have a few more pages to read in it but the information alone is a gift. The 5 love languages are...


  • words of affirmation
  • quality time
  • receiving gifts
  • acts of service 
  • physical touch.
My primary language is words of affirmation Franks is physical touch. One thing the book says is use your lovers language if you want them to feel loved the most. I somewhat disagree but not really i think that language should be the one you watch the most. but all of these love ways should be used with the most important being used the most. It also shows how hard it can be. Growing up as an only child the touching thing well i don't like it as much as frank needs it to feel filled on love.

But that's okay I can touch frank and he will feel love.. he can tell me how awesome i am and i feel loved. lol but with out us knowing this we would have issues. oddly i think we knew this prior do to our ongoing open dialog of communication.  Well after reading most of the book it has inspired me for a few things
  1. to finish writing the artical about how relationships are like a car. to include these ways of love
  2. with conjunction with Yahoo answers, i think i'm going back to school (thinking about it) to maybe be a marriage councilor.
  3. explore more of loving ways. These things can be used on friends too. and lately i don't feel like I have been the best. well i do i just don't see it back on my end. rather sad but screw it. I figured if they want me and frank around they would at least give us a word or something. But we can't change our friends we need to love them for who they are. but If i'm or frank the only one making effort.. i almost want to back down on that. I can't think of the last time someone has been to my house for a visit.., umm wait my mom was my last visitor (wow little rant i guess i'm a little bitter) 
  4. blogging more.. i want to blog more about everything what I do with random things how I do it. posting more videos and of course the garden info. 
well we had a recite this year the first year in 4 years that I haven't been in the show.  Helping isn't as fun as being in the show btw.  Dance Avenue team dancers did a great job tho and those dads. They do this daddy daughter dance at the studio and the dads are great with it they have so much fun. At the end when they do their bow... they all ripped their shirts off and tossed them out on stage. fun men!!!  even though most should of kept their shirt on.. it was fun!

Fathers day was great and different this year. Had to pick up dad and we went to the park where we met franks dad and some family.. the twins are still cute as could be i love hearing them say april.. and uncle for frank.!  They were in awe with my dads long beard but they had a great time.
oh oh and that new off fan for the bugs works .. i wasn't sure it would but it did a great job i got bit one time yesterday when. The only issue with it is it does take a minute or two for it to get going around your body for protection. I figured I'll buy a few and just place them around the deck to keep the bugs off.

Frank took his dad golfing and I printed some photos for my dad.  We also took a few moments and visited Tammy's grave site, now that I know where she is buried I can go say a few words next time i'm down that way and alone.
Well that's my summed up life. . how is yours?
