Happy 35th Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day! I love you, Daddy. I'm glad I got to spend a week with you this last week. I enjoyed our time together. You are always kind and giving. There are so many things that I could say, but I would run out of room. Just a few of my favorite memories were riding in the back of the blue pick up truck to the pool during the summers, going to Disney World (Looking forward to doing it again in 3 weeks!), playing basketball at the Kingsgate pool: daughters vs daddy's, playing baseball in our backyard with our neighborhood friends, helping me with school projects and studying for tests, rubbing my back every morning to wake up for school, fun lunches during my school years--I think my favorite was the rolled up PB and J sandwiches, long trips in the car to Florida to take me to college, and now spending time with me (and letting me ride up front with you in the suburban) on our outings in South Carolina! Thanks, Daddy for being you and my daddy! I love you!

Happy Father's Day! I love you, Mike. You may not be a daddy to a daughter or son of ours, but you are a terrific daddy to our furry puppy, Cooper. He loves you and you take such good care of him. Thank you for putting up with all my tears and questions when we were getting Cooper. I was so scared and you were so confident. I know that one day soon the Lord is going to bless us with a child of our own. You will be the best daddy. Thanks, Mike for being you and my hubby! I love you!

Happy Father's Day! I love you, Dad(Pops-as Mike calls you). You are someone special that God has given me to draw me closer to Him. I enjoy all our "theological" talks about the Bible. I'm always thinking. We have lots of laughs and always watch some old movies that I have never seen before. You are leaving a loving legacy in your son. I'm so glad I chose him and your family. Thanks, Pops for being you and my father in law! I love you!

Thankful Thursday!

It's Thursday again and I have lots to be thankful for. This will be short, but I will catch up all next week. I'm so thankful for all the time with my family in SC. We are having a great time. Here are just a few things I'm thankful for:

-My parents surprise 35th Wedding Anniversary cookout was a success and a surprise!
-I finished their memory book on time. (I still have to add a few more letters from family and friends.)
-A lovely 10th Anniversary dinner for Mike and me at our favorite Italian restaurant in SC--Portofino's!
-Getting together with Mike's best friend from high school in NC! (Pictures will come soon!)
-Going to Gaffney to the Rifle Range and having some "family bonding" time!
-Getting my tie-dye Mickey Mouse shirt from my sister-in-law to wear on our vacation in 3 weeks and 3 days!
-My sister in law, Katie, teaching me a new hobby! CROCHET
-Holding Maggie!

Have a great weekend!
