Happy Daddy's Day

Happy Father's Day to a wonderful daddy! My friends have always described him as a "Teddy Bear", and they're right. He is such a sweet man! He may look intimidating (according to Mike the first time he saw him), but once you talk to him, you see that he is genuinely kind. He's the type that can talk to anyone about anything. I'm glad to say that I have found a man similar to my daddy! Thank you daddy for always being there for me...for sitting through the 8 hour recitals and jumping with me on the trampoline.

Here are a few pictures of my wonderful daddy...

Sitting in my daddy's lap! I still remember the day that he finally shaved his mustache :-)

Playing with Lauren and me at the beach.

At Melissa's wedding in 2007.

Dancing to "Unforgettable" at my wedding. This was our second dance to this song because he was a trooper and did a father/daughter dance with me to the same song....love you daddy!

An Ode to Friends

My all-time favorite show would have to be Friends. It's the one show that can make me laugh out loud no matter how many times I've seen the episode. I've been asked several time who my favorite character is, but it's way too hard to choose! One of my favorite things about the show is that you can relate any quote, character, or action to a real-life circumstance. I don't know how many times I've quoted the show or make the infamous gesture Ross made up to "give the finger" to her parents...hahahaha!!! While watching a few episodes tonight, I started thinking about my best friends - Katie, Laura, and Lena. These girls have been there for more for as long as I can remember. They are truly like sisters to me! Even though we all live miles away from each other, we still make time to catch up. I have WAY too many memories with them to list them, but a few include Sunday School with Mrs. Karen, spending the night at Katie's and dancing to NKOTB, church camp, visiting Katie in Dallas, and all of our weddings and births (only from Lena). I thank the precious Lord for blessing me with such wonderful, Godly friends that I will have for a lifetime. I pray that my children have the same blessing. I love you girls!

With Katie at Chili's while visiting with Mrs. Karen who was in from Milan, Italy! I can't wait for Katie to move back to Arkansas with her hubby and puppy :-)

One of the many times Laura visited me in Fayetteville. Please come back from Denver really soon with your hubby and chubby puppy!!!!!

Lena and I at TCBY (I think)...the momma of the group :-) Can't wait to have my own kids so we can have play dates with Elias and Ada!

Enjoying the first baby of the group...Elias!

Supporting me during my wedding festivities...love you girls!!!!
