I will never forget as a kid he would tell me to pursue whatever I had a passion and a talent for and I truly believe that has gotten me to where I am today. He has always encouraged me to put in my all into everything I do, and I have seen that in him in the way he handles his forestry business and the way he serves in church and Kairos prison ministry. He has shown me characteristics that I desired in a future mate (and have truly found), as someone who took such awesome care of my mom and grandpa when they were sick, who works so hard to provide even when times were tough, and who leads our family in prayer and sets a Christ-like example. I truly respect him as a man and as a daddy and I love him so much!!
The picture below is from our unforgettable trip to Belize in the summer of 2010. I can't believe it has been two years now. That trip was breathtaking and will stay in my memory forever. I had such a great time hiking, touring, and relaxing with my daddy on this trip. The waterfalls were breathtaking, the Mayan ruins were phenomenal, and the history I learned of the Mountain Pine Ridge was awesome! I met some great people like Peter and Melina and George who were so kind and giving. It was such a great time and I'm so glad I got to spend it with my dad!
I love you daddy, Happy Birthday and I'll even go ahead and throw in a Happy Father's day too!! Thank you for always making me feel like your little princess. I'm so thankful for you! We will see you June 30th weekend when we are in Albany for our shower and we can celebrate then!!
xoxo,
