Happy Father's Day, Dad

My Dad. How do I find the words to describe how fantastic he is? I don't think anyone could ask for a better earthly father than the one I have.

He is kind, generous, loving, patient, funny, and a man of God.

He is always there to come to our school events, build me a play house replica like our house, kill bugs, change our oil.... He's been there for every holiday and birthday. All we have to do is ask and he is willing to help us.

He takes time out of his busy schedule to help others and do projects for them, even if it cuts in to his down time. He is a man of his word, and always keeps promises that he makes.

He sets a wonderful example of what is to be a follower of Christ. He helps out at church with the jr highers and many other things involved with church.

He has an infectious smile and laugh.

There's no one like him. I'm proud to call him My Dad.

I couldn't possibly describe how much I love my dad with the few words that I have, but that will give you a little insight into how great he is.

Happy Father's Day Dad!! You're the best!

I Love my Dad...

My dad is so funny....

He is the Jr. High Youth Leader at our church, and today after church he took the kids out to eat and then for a "surprise". It's a shame that only three kids could go, because from the pictures that he took it looks like they had a lot of fun despite the wind.

Anyway... He took the kids mini golfing and go cart riding as their surprise and he even did it with them. He's so fun! He definitely has a heart for those kids. Jr High is not my ideal age. They aren't the easiest group, but he makes everything as fun as he possibly can. I just thought I would share some pictures of my wonderful dad. This of course is only one facet of what I love about him, but you'll have to stay tuned until Father's Day to read about the other reasons. :)

What's new??

Not much here. I took a 2 hour drive today. No, it wasn't aimless driving. I know the price of gas right now! I drove an hour away to drop of Christmas gifts (yes, I said Christmas) to my friend and her three kiddos, then I turned right back around and came home. Since then I have been reading my Bible, picking out new music for my playlist (see below for some new additions), surfing some blogs, and putting off starting my paper as long as possible. :) I figure I will probably start writing it Sunday night/Monday morning at the earliest. I had this big idea to start writing it today, but you know what... I don't want to. I'm tired and I want to relax a little bit before I jump into my Spring (not-so-much-of-a) Break.
On my way home earlier today (after dropping off gifts) my friend Robin called me. She was breathless with excitement! She wanted to tell me that she got the summer extern and she was placed in the NICU (her first choice!) which is awesome!!!! She will do amazing there, and has so much to offer those precious little ones and their families because she has walked in their shoes.
Tonight is "Supper 6"...or 8 or 9 or whatever..... the point is the three amigas -or should it be hermanas- (aka me and the sisters) are getting together with a few couples in our Sunday School class to break bread and have a good time. :) Then we might get really crazy on a Friday night and go play Mexican Train Dominoes at some friend's house. I know... we're crazy!
Tomorrow Hol (and maybe Lisa, I'm not sure) and I are going to head out to shop. Holli is desperate for spring clothes and I have no money, so I'll probably be tagging along for cookies and a coffee! :) And tomorrow is my Dad's birthday, so we're going out to eat for that. He'll be XX years old. And he doesn't look a day over XX. :) (No that is not roman numeral, so you can stop trying to figure out what the double X means. I am concealing his age, in case he doesn't want me to tell.) I was in charge of the birthday card this year. For the last few years the three of us girls just get one collective card for our parent's when it is their birthday, mother's/father's day, anniversary (duh).... I did a pretty good job this year if I do say so myself. I'll post what the card says tomorrow after we give it to him, just in case he reads my blog I don't want him to find out until he actually gets it.
Ok, well enough randomness for now. I'll be back sometime this weekend. Have a good one peeps!!
