Outside. I am getting my tan on today without any little people. These little people bring much joy to my life but they do not make it possible to bathe in the glorious sun with my eyes closed. Plus, one of them literally drains me. So, my husband (I need to think of a nick name for him at some point) so sweetly volunteered (I think that's what he did) to keep all 3 of the beezlebubs.
My good 'ol dad turns 50 tomorrow. That's really crazy for me because my dad was always the "young dad". Notsomuch anymore. I am reading a book for a class/professional development I am taking and one of the characters that I am studying is a retired Navy man. Plus, he is responsible for "saving" a few of his grandkids (Title of the book is Crash) This guy reminds me of my own dad. This sounds so cliche but I really do have the best dad in the world (I am willing to fight you over it, if you want). This is why...
1. he loves me and he shows it
2. by showing me he loved me, I loved myself and I never had to search for a father figure in men, like a lot of girls/women do
3. he is funny, and he gets my humor when a lot of people don't
4. he is the strongest guy in the world
5. he came to my school in 5th grade in his white Navy uniform and talked to my class
6. he made breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday for me
7. he enjoyed the fact that I am in a bad mood in the morning
8. he worked 60 hours a week (more or less) to pay cash for me to go to college
9. he taught me to work hard
10. he demanded respect from me
11. he worked all day to go and sit in a parking lot and wait for me to get out of practice
12. he didn't miss a basketball game or softball game
13. he is nice
14. I wish I was as smart as him
15. he loves my girls
16. he sacrificed a lot for me
The list could go on and on but these are the main reasons my dad is the best. Happy Birthday, Dad. I'm glad Jesus sent me to you.
Very good blog about a very interesting person. I especially liked the smart part.
