hey there bloggy friends. before we get started today, i just want you guys to know that i am normally a stickler for capitalization but my shift key isn't working and it hurts my finger(s) to press it to make it work. so this post will have no capitalization as much as it pains me. don't judge me. it will be fixed soon, promise.

okay moving on. last night we celebrated timothy's birthday. yay! the tradition in his family is that when it's your birthday, you get to do whatever you want. that includes whatever food you want. so let me tell you what my man had his sister and dad cook for him. we had hibachi which included sweet carrots, onions, mushrooms, and peppers stir fried in soy, fried rice, and shrimp sauce. we also had steak with the option of making burritos. pretty fancy right. we have japanese and mexican.

well my boyfriend was perusing the internet one night and stumbled upon something called 'bacon cheddar burger dogs'. uh yeah...you read that right. those dogs are made up of the following: ground beef, weenies, bacon, cheddar cheese, and hot dog buns. can we say heart attack? like what??? that rounded out the meal with japanese, mexican, and redneck american. 'MERICA!

i bet you're wondering if those dogs were good. yes they were delicious, but i could only have about 3 bites before i felt my arteries start clogging. the meal was very good and we had ice cream cake. what's not to love about that?!

i even got timothy to take 2 pictures with me.
ya see he's not too fond of pictures. i don't know why. i think he's calvin klien model material but i might be a bit biased.

anywhoz. here are the two pictures i got him to take. ain't he just precious. love him to pieces!

   

awhhhh. and not trying to be like conceited but i never dress up but i did last night (if you can consider this dressing up) and i'm pretty proud of the outfit. so just because i can here is a shameless posey, show off outfit picture. you're welcome.

yay for cute outfits. i wish i had gotten a picture of the back but i forgot. oops. sue me.

so anyway that's all i have folks. follow me on instagram and/or twitter to keep up with the shenanigans for the fourth and the thing that is my life.

An Adventure and A Post About Fatherly Love

Hey there friends! So I have two things for y'all today! First off, Kenz and I decided to get outta da house today and go do something fun before the rain comes back. So we went to a place called Hebron Rock Colony or more specifically Hebron Falls to hike and lay out in da sunnn! It was super fun and relaxing. I love that place and it's probably one of my favorite places to hike and chill. We saw like 3 people almost get overtaken by the falls, but thankfully no one did. On the way home we stopped and got icees from Burger King. They were deee-lishhhh. (There are more pictures but I'm not feeling a photo dump today. sorry not sorry. I'm exhausted.)

chillinggg. love her :)

For the last part of the post I'm going to talk about my daddy. Since I'm not going home to spend Father's Day with him, I thought I would honor him on here. 

I love my Daddy. He's taught me so much in my 20 (almost 21) years. So let me share a few of the biggies with you. 

My daddy taught me:

1. How to change oil in a car. I know that doesn't sound all that big, but if you've ever been away from home when you need an oil change and have no money to get it done, it's extremely important to know how to do it yourself. So I'm glad he taught me how to do. To be honest, he taught me a lot about cars and I'm so glad. I love cars and a lot of that comes from time spent with him working on them.

2. How to stand up for myself. I used to picked on when I was younger because my last name is Parrott. Kids would always be like "Carly want a cracker?" I was such a sensitive little human that it would make me cry sometimes. So my dad told me to start saying, "Yes I do, do you have one?" That made them stop for sure. They would just look at me like I was crazy. 

3. How to be tough. I know this seems really similar to the one above but it's really not. I promise. I used to 

cry a lot about the stupidest things. Like if i got rug burn, I cried. No seriously. I was (am?) a wimp when 

it came to intense physical pain. So like if I stubbed my toe walking through the house, I would shout and cry, and assume the fetal position. My dad is infamous for laughing at people when they fall. He laughs before he even checks on them. It's not nice. But in a weird way it taught me to be tougher. Kinda so it wouldn't make him laugh. But mostly it helped me see that life is unpredictable and mean so sometimes you just have to laugh. Weird how my brain works sometimes.

4. What a real Godly man, husband, and father look like. My dad is crazy, hilarious, and brutally honest, but he is also understanding, loving, and Godly. I respect him so much. He is an amazing person. It's so hard to put into words. I am very blessed to have him as my earthly father. Like father like daughter. 

5. About people. Probably the biggest thing that my daddy taught me had to do with people. I hold this piece of advice extremely close to my heart. I remind myself all the time. When I was in high school, I went through a few rough patches. One night when I was a senior, I was talking to the parentals about my current issue and my dad says to me, "People are going to disappoint you. God made them that way. 99% of the population are self-centered, selfish, and it's all about what they want. You have to realize this, know how people are, and move on." That's some of the best advice I've ever gotten. 

So all in all I'd say I have a pretty great father. But he has a pretty awesome daughter too. 

Enjoy Father's Day tomorrow peeps. See ya lataaaa.

With love, Carly ♥
