Happy Father's Day

I had to drag him outside after church. He wasn't sure about it, but one thing this man has learned over the years, is that when his wife gets an idea, no sense fighting it.

"I'm taking your picture!" I said. I told him I take a million pictures and I am tired of the usual blue one piece jump suit look on you! I said, "Honey, I'm taking a nice picture of you." So he complied.

It took him a while to relax and get into it, but by the 20th shot, he was getting the hang of it.  LOL!!! Well, I do like to take more than one.

My sentiments today.... It's Father's Day, and this is MY MAN! Father of MY CHILDREN! He is man with a drill! He is man with a smile, man with a happy nature, man with a soft and gentle heart, man who loves to cook, fish, read, and and spend time with his family. He is pretty easy to get a long with, unless I'm trying to make him exercise and eat right. He is a man with lots of integrity. He's honest and good clear through. And probably one thing that has impressed me over the years is his honesty in his work. There are a lot of Dentists who will tell you, you need stuff in your mouth, you don't really need. They just want more cash in thier wallets, which is why they tell you, you need it. My man NEVER does this. He gives people options, and costs, and terms of how long it will last. I love him for it. It feels good to know he has always been a man who cares deeply about people, regardless of how long or how well he's known them! He's just a good honest guy!

He's thinning on top, but I look at this photo and he is the most handsome guy I know! The photo evokes a lot of emotion in me. We've raised 8 kids together, we've had our triumphs and we've seen dark days. We have traversed our share of mountains, climbed to places we never thought we'd get to, been up and over our share of obstacles. And here we our, 35 years of marriage and at heart, we are still soul mates! Oh we can butt heads, but under any currant runs a bond of love iron clad! I love this man! He is the best choice I ever made. And when it comes to choosing a father for my children, well, bar none, I picked the best. Besides being the best husband for me, he is the greatest dad ever, just ask my kids!

So Happy Father's Day Glade! I love you! Thanks for being wonderful in every way!
