Happy Father's Day

There are so many special days and holidays that we celebrate that sometimes we lose sight of their true meaning. Sundays are always big days in our house. We start off with church and then socialize with our church family and head home. The rest of the day is spent together with just us or family-our idea of a perfect day. Today is a special Sunday...Father's Day. I am going to take a few moments to honor my husband who is the most amazing Father I have ever known.

One of the first things that I liked about Alex (ok, ok I loved it) was the way he talked about Andy and Ashley. While he still lived in Cheyenne I actually talked to Ashley on the phone. I knew as I was falling in love with him, that I needed to be careful. See, I knew that he wasn't the type of Father that would ever marry someone that his kids didn't love as well. Talk about being scared considering that I was in live with him from the very s already planning our wedding.

I can think back to our car trip to Cheyenne the 1st summer we were together and how excited he was and afraid I was. Gosh, it was nerve wracking to say the least. When I saw him with the kids, I was amazed. There was this love and happiness that I had never seen before, but somehow understood what it was. It was raw and real and undestructible on its worst day. It was pleasant and true and honest and deep-it was beautiful and unconditional. It was incredible to see this man weep at the sight of his kids and touching that I was able to be part of it. I knew at that moment that forever was in our future.

You see, my husband is the type of Daddy that sacrificies for his kids and puts them first. He takes his role as Daddy very seriously. Do you know of any other man that would move across the country from his kids so that he could provide for them? Do you know any other guy that would sell his prized motorcycle while his wife was prgnant because he really felt they needed the money? How many men you know would work a part time job to make ends easier to meet?

I am such a lucky girl because not only do I know that man, but he loves me as I love him and chose to marry me. I am so blessed each and every single day. I know that my children will always know and understand what it means to love with their heart and soul because of their Daddy. My children will fell the love of their Daddy and my children will always be blessed knowing that their Daddy is the best Daddy in the world.

Alex-I pray that you know how much I love you. There truly aren't words to describe how wonderful you are. It makes me so proud to know you, love you, share my life with you and most importantly grow in our faith together with our family. You are my rock, my world, my everything. I love you with all that I am .

Happy Father's Day!
