A Father's Day Card, of Sorts

I want to take some time today to say “Happy Father’s Day” to a few of the men in my life.

To my father-in-law,

“Big Pat” and I share the same birthday, therefore the same sign, and therefore a (slight) stubborn trait that can get us in trouble.





He's a fantastic grandfather, and he’s coming to meet his first grandson in less than two weeks.


To my brother-in-law,



Rick and I share a few traits that I don’t care to admit. He’s been there for us whenever we’ve needed him, though, be it with a lawnmower, a truck, or an extra key to our house. I sure will miss you when you move, Rick. A special dessert is coming your way soon.




To my father,



Last Father’s Day I sang a song titled, “Finally Home” by the band MercyMe at church. It sums up how I feel.

“Finally Home”

I’m gonna wrap my arms around my daddy’s neck
And tell him that I’ve missed him
And tell him all about the (woman) I became
And hope that it pleased him
There’s so much I want to say
There’s so much I want you to know
When I finally make it home.



You can listen to it hear. It's a beautiful song.

And to my husband,

Thank you for being such a hands-on dad.



For loving your children with all of your heart and making sure they feel that love.



I haven’t said it near enough since the birth of our son, but I appreciate all of you’ve done, and are doing, to try to make it easier on me.

For feeding him at night so I can sleep.

For taking your turn holding him when he cries (and not wanting to give him up).

For offering to do anything I need.



I love you so much.

Happy Father’s Day, Honey.

And Happy Father’s Day to all you daddies out there!

Sarah's Going Crazy

“Hey. How’s it going?”




“Do I have something on my face?”





Uh…Sarah?





Where’s your pants?



“The dog took ‘em.”


“Yeah, that’s right.”



In the meantime my oldest daughter, who used to be crazy, is working to become a proper young lady.



Gone are the days of pantless dancing.



Although she does still have a little of the wild child in her. The bangs in her eyes make her “feel cool.”



Who am I kidding? They’re all crazy!

13 Years

Today marks mine and Pat's 13th anniversary.



I’m not even going to acknowledge the number (13) or how unlucky it is,

because as we mature in age…..



our marriage has matured as well.



I expect this to be our best year yet.


Thanks, honey….


For all the support you’ve given me


The music you’ve played for me



The laughter we share when we’re being silly


The family we’re growing together



And the love you shower on me.


And most important…


The awesome foot rubs!


I love you!
