Happy Birthday Logan!

I know that I am really late in writing this but it couldn't hurt to write it now. Logan's birthday was on July 9. Sorry for keeping you waiting Nag. For the few people that might be actually reading this blog, Logan is my brother. He is a twin with Tanner, but I will write a letter about Tanner after this. Anyway, I am not a very good sister because I didn't get Logan any present, not even a letter. So I am trying to cover everything up with this letter. For those who know Logan, you know that he is a child at heart. Even though he is twenty three, he still acts like a kid (I love that!). He is so fun to be around and he always makes me happy. :) His humor always makes me feel better no matter how I feel. He is a great brother and I am so blessed to be able to call him my bro. It was hard for me to say good bye to him when he left back to Utah with his wife, Michelle (My awesome sister-in-law!) and Tanner and his wife, Alana (My other awesome sister-in-law!) I already miss his sarcasm and child-like attitude. I love you so much Logan. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to write this letter for you on your actual birthday. I miss "chatting" with you. It isn't the same without you, Nag. :) haha. I miss you terribly and I can't wait until I get to see your heart-warming smile again. :) Love you.

Happy Father's Day Dad!

I know that I am a day late and a dollar short. :) I seemed to have neglected getting my Dad a present for Father's Day so I am writing this for him. That isn't the only reason I am writing about my wonderful Dad. I am also dedicating this to him because he is the greatest Dad ever and I want everyone to know it! He is such a great example to me and my brothers. He is exactly what a Dad should be like. I don't know what I did to deserve his big, bear hugs and his loving care. He is always there for me and he pushes me to do my best in everything. He always screws up quotes from movies, messes up famous actors and actresses' names, makes up the most interesting dance moves......... I will just stop myself right there. Haha. :) I love it though when my dad messes up quotes and famous people's names. It's hilarious. Anyway....... he is such a righteous man and I love him so much. He makes me want to be the best person I can be so I can make him proud. Nothing makes my day more than when I gain my dad's appreciation. I swear he is an angel in disquise. I better stop now before I start bursting into tears........too late. I love you Daddy. Thank you for being the greatest Dad ever to me.

The Interpretation of My Blog Title

Those of you who know me well understand my title, but those of you who don't know me very well, don't worry, I will explain it to you. I was wondering what I should call my blog because my mom took the one I wanted which was 4evermoore. I thought about doing A Moore's Life, but then I thought better of it. In the end, my mom was the one who told me I should do this title, A Rose Among The Thorns. She explained to me that the title was compared to me and my six brothers. I was the only girl so I was the rose and my brothers were the thorns. I got a kick out of that so I named my blog after her idea. I just wanted to clarify my title so no one gets too confused. :) Thanks Mom for the awesome idea!
