Who's Girl?




I
was sitting around thinking about what to get dad for Father's Day--I contemplated something running related...I thought about finding a rare edition of Tom Sawyer...but then I thought, what better gift for a man who likes to "fly under the radar" than singing his praises on the world wide web :) Happy Father's Day, dad.

Now...eheemmmm...a short list of things I've learned from my dad:

When I was little, I learned that riding in the back of a pick-up while eating ice cream was fun but always made my mother angry (hello, tangles in my long curly hair!), I learned how to drive a tractor and a stick shift, I learned how to shoot a gun, I learned that the Rolling Stones were WAY better than New Kids on the Block and I learned that real beauty doesn't come from make up and high heels (dad made me promise I'd never wear either--sorry about that dad). I learned that a boy should NEVER hold my hand unless he loved me like my daddy--which was impossible and responsible for many break ups. I learned the importance of character and responsibility. More important than anything--I was raised up by a man who feared and loved the Lord. A man who disciplined me with patience and gentleness and who taught me that trusting in the Lord was a simple as trusting him. I learned to trust and to love freely and without reservation.

Now that I'm older--I learn daily from my daddy. I learn about life...I learn about family...I learn how to slow down and I learn just how precious every little moment is. I learn how to multi-task with grace and efficiency. I am STILL learning about photography--learning how to look with my eyes and not just my viewfinder :) He is my dad, my best friend, my mentor....my prince charming.

Thank you dad. Thank you for being awesome! Happy Father's Day....
I love you,
me
