Father's Day!

All my life, I have been a Daddy's Girl. I once even said, "I want to grow up and be big and strong like my dad" ha ha, good thing I was 3.

I adore my father for many reasons. He often seems intimidating to many, and yet he has a very sweet and tender side to him. He has always shown my mom such love and care and my niece and nephews love him and prefer him over everyone else.
Being so much like my mom, I have learned a lot from my dad, more than just loving sweets. The most recent thing I have learned from him and admire about him is . . .
Enjoying life along the way! I am one who likes to get everything done and stress about it until it is done. My Cute Dad was stressing about the financing on his restaurant, which just opened, and had so much on his mind. My mom was a little concerned and we were all just hoping everything was going to work out. 30 minutes after he had updated me on the chaotic situation, I found him in the backyard with his metal detector that had just come in the mail! He does what he can and goes on with his life and doesn't dwell on it.
He ended up in the backyard with Rhett for almost an hour that afternoon ha ha.

He is great at making me laugh and I love telling him stories because he has the best reactions. He is a kid at heart and he lets it show. Like the time when he got caught eating his birthday cake for breakfast one morning and tried to be sneaky so mom didn't find out. Or when someone, like Adam or Rhett, is telling him about why he is wrong about something and he plugs his ears, moves his head side to side, and makes a lot of noise to show them he doesn't care ha ha.

I think that is what I love most about my parents! They aren't my parents, they are my best friends! I love you Mom and Dad, Happy Father's Day.
