Happy Fathers Day!

Father’s Day was a pretty nice day. Whit and I woke up and made Daddy some bacon and pancakes to start his day off. We went to church and Whit and I tickled his back. After church we went to Russ' parent’s house and had a fun BBQ with the fam., visited Devin and Ginny, then headed to my mom’s for a bit. It turned out to be a pretty good day. I was a little out of sorts and I'm afraid I wasn’t the most pleasant person to be around. I tried really hard to enjoy the day and make the day special for Russ. I'll be honest, it’s a little tuff on Father’s Day for me having my dad gone. I'm too young to not have a father still here to go visit. The month of June is just generally hard. This next Monday the 29th is the anniversary of his death. It will be 4 years already! My Dad is a wonderful father and I'm grateful for the many things he taught me, the good time we had, and the unconditional love he showed towards me. He truly was and is a remarkable person. The saddest thing for me I think is that Russ didn’t have the change to meet him. They would have been great buddies I think-two peas in a pod. It makes me happy though knowing that their time to meet will happen and it will be Heaven being with him again.

-I am so thankful for Russ and for the great father he is toward our little girl. It’s so fun to watch him with Whitney. They love each other so much and have so much fun together. I'm so thankful I met such a wonderful man who takes good care of his family, who is full of love, who makes us laugh and is a lot of fun. Who's smart and good at what he does (I'm constantly learning new things with him), he's a rock in the gospel, love's his Heavenly Father, and loves his family. I know Russ it the type of person who would do anything for anyone. He is so sweet, easy going, and just plan lovable. Russ and I are the perfect match and I'm glad I found him. Happy Fathers Day to you honey! Whit and I love you very much!! XOXOXO
