Daddy's Girl

Growing up I think I was always a Daddy's Girl. Whenever I wanted something, I would go to my mom and she would have me ask my dad because she knew he'd say yes to me. As I grew up, we grew apart. I became a typical teenager that was rebellious to rules, and didn't quite like what my dad had to say/offer/think. Most of my highschool years I didn't spend much time with him. The older I get, the more I realize how much like him I truly am. And not all the glorious things. I have his temper, his constant worry, and his stubborness. But I am just recently learning how to appreciate these things about him. I am proud of the fact that I don't get walked all over, that I am protecting my kids, and that I will stand firm in what I believe. My dad was  a great dad, but he is an amazing Papa to my kids. They love him! and I have seen him do things with them that he wouldn't do with us. He works sooooo hard, like every day seven days a week. and on the rare day off, he wants to spend it with the girls. I love that. How special they will feel one day when they realize that instead of sleeping and trying to catch up, he would rather be with them. Brandon and I both have amazing parents. They love our children so much and they love us.  What a blessing. So Happy Father's Day Papa!! You are one of a kind!!!

My Husband Brandon. Wow. He is an amazing father! The other night, I was sitting inside feeding Lily and I looked outside to see Brandon and Chloe playing soccer together, she was laughing so genuinely and it made me fall so absolutley deeper in love with Brandon. When we first met, I was one puppy dog lovin girl, then we got engaged and it took us to a whole other level. Over the last six years I had no idea what kind of love my heart would have for him. Then we welcomed two of the most beautiful girls into our lives and watching their daddy hold them as newborns, comfort them as babies, and teach them as toddlers has been the best thing to be a part of. They both have him wrapped around their little fingers. Thank you babe, thank you for loving us, for taking care of us, and for being the father that I dreamed of for my children my whole life. You are amazing. xoxo
