today was just another sunday.
church, nursery. chilling.
went to brew's with my mom, dad and their friends donna and bill.
they are super nice and it was fun to see them.
then i tried to make cake pops tonight and it went OK. still got LOTS of perfecting to do!
last night i house sat and stayed the night there.
they live in the country and man its SCARY at night!
today there was an AWESOME father's day sermon and i wish every man my age heard it.
it was just so dead on about how to be a Godly man.
go to VGF website and listen.....just do it.
not to mention, i learned the Joseph, Jesus' dad, doesn't say ONE word in the bible.
who knew!?
met a new friend, james, at church today.
i love meeting new friends!
and since it's fathers day, i better mention my daddy-o.
i love him oh so much!
yes, we have a tough time and don't always click or understand each other.
i get really snippy to him and act all moody...and he still puts up with me.
i'm his baby girl. and although i don't pull that card much, when i need it, it's there.
he sure knows how to spoil me when i ask {so i just don't ask, unless its urgent!}
but i know whole heartedly that God has him as my dad for a reason.
yes, its hard to not get irritated that my dad doesn't have this quality or that, but he's still my dad.
and no one ever will be able to have that spot.
they say it's so easy to be irritated at your family, and i know i show that side to him more than most people. but he still provides for me and is always a phone call away.
i get a lot of my qualities from him {like not being a morning person!} and some of my outgoing-ness. and he likes to make people happy--i do too!
they all did father's day dinner last night but i was babysitting and couldn't go.
ugh, go figure.
but i did make him a yummy desert, so that counts for something, right?
dad, thank you for all you have done for me the last 20+ years.
i know i don't show you the love for you that i should.
you are so special to me and i hope to have you around much longer.
you took me to take my drivers test, you were there for school dances.
you were there are tons of field hockey games and cheering events.
you offered such great athletic advice, none of which i wanted at the time {cause we had usually just lost a game!}
you used to play 'hail-a-taxes' at night with us and get us all wound up before bed--mom always hated that! but we'll remember it forever.
i look forward to the day you can give permission for someone to have my hand and when you get to walk me down the aisle. and the day that you get to see your grandkids. i can't wait to share all those moments with my daddy-o. you have taught me so much, and for all of it, i am grateful.
as i pray that our relationship becomes stronger, and i know that eventually when i mature some more, it will.
thanks for being patient with me and allowing me to be me.
not many people let me be who i really am. and that is worth more to me than anything in the entire world.
thanks for being my dad. i love you!
