Hillary Sugar Dodd

Today my blog is about another one of my favorite things: Hillary Sugar Dodd. Madi's middle name is "sweet" and Hillary's is "sugar". This is because I overlooked the importance of a middle name when Wayne blessed them and so I gave them an unofficial middle name about 2 weeks ago, because I can...
Anyway, Hillary Sugar Dodd is practically graduated from high school and she has also has been involved in many amazing things in her short little life; soccer, basketball, student body officer and president, choir, musicals,etc. But those things are hardly the best things about her.


I am amazed at her love of life, her contagious happiness, her humility, her ability to love and accept all those around her, and her goodness and kindness. She is one of the most fearless people I know, she is unafraid of talking to people, performing on stage or going somewhere by herself for a week where she knows no one. She is determined to accomplish whatever task she has in front of her. She has a strong testimony of the gospel and has worked hard to gain it.
She is great example to her brothers and sister and isn't afraid to say it like it is. One of my favorite parts of the day is hearing a play-by-play of her day because she is such a great story teller. I wish to be more like you Hillary Sugar Dodd.

Cute middle name! Good luck to Hillary in all her future adventures. I can't believe she is graduating. Where did all those years go? :(
