Ode to my Daddy

In the spirit of fathers day...I thought that i would express some thoughts.


You know how they say that a girls first love is always her daddy....well i am here to tell you that it is 100% true! I love my dad. He has always been my hero. Sometimes quite literally! He is so much of the reason i am who i am today.


I remember, when we were little kids, waiting for dad to get home so that we could play!!! Even though he had just been working his butt off for hours and going to school...he always made time for us. I also remember family campouts and how fun he always made them!! He is where i got my love of camping, fishing, hiking, anything like that!! He was always so patient and giving and made sure that we were taken care of. I can remember thinking that my dad could do antyhing...and most of the time...that is still pretty accurate!! He is extremely talented and so smart. He is where i learned all of lifes most important lessons...wether by example or by him correcting my mistakes. He has always been my biggest support. No matter what i was doing...he was always there to incourage me, even if he didnt understand why or what i was doing. In all of the worst times in my life...he was my rock....and in all the great times....he has been there to make me laugh. I am so grateful for the time that i have had to get close to him and learn from him. I have always wanted to be so much like him. Hopefully someday i will.


Happy Fathers day Dad. I love you.

Bella!!!!

I recieved the best birthday suprise ever this year!! My wonderful husband took me on a suprise trip for my birthday ( a couple days early cuz he actually got a day off!!). He completely caught me off gaurd!!! This man is so sweet and thoughtful i cant believe it!!! We spent a wonderful night away from home....which was a fun treat....and then drove a little more to go and pick up our new PUPPY!!!!
She is adorable!!!

She is a mix between a Weener dog and a Poodle.....as one of our friends called her....a Woodle!!!
We got her from a very small shelter and she is just too funny!!! She love to run even though she is not very good at it. And she pounces like a tiger!! She is very comfortable with us already and very loving!! Her name is Bella and she is fitting in just perfectly!!!

We are still working really hard on our house but things are coming together quickly!!
Hopefully soon we will have everything painted and built so i can post some pictures!!!!

We are doing great and having alot of fun!!!
Thanks again for everyone being so supportive and loving to us!!! We deeply appreciate you!!!
