Fathers be good to your daughters...

-So, obviously this is going to be a fathers day post. If you haven't noticed, all of my postings recently have had to do with a holiday of some sort. This is because I currently have no time to think about anything other than spanish, davids bridal, and holidays. Ok, end of disclaimer, lets get to the point of this blog. My dad.

My father is the COOLEST dad in the whole world. Seriously, try to find one that is cooler I dare you. Let just list the things about him that make him cooler than a penguin ice skating on an iceberg.

1. He is my dad. (anyone that is related to me is automatically awesome).

2. He is in a band.

3. He plays guitar. 

4. He loves Jesus. 

5. He parented 2 girls. 

6. He is always up for an adventure. 

7. He loves people. (and can relate/make friends with practically anyone) 

8. He was the dad that all of the boys in high school thought was cool.

9. He likes to "go visiting" 

10. He inspires others (especially me). 

Now dad, I am not going to write you a poem like I did for mom (mainly because I know your not into that "mushy" stuff, and I would probably make myself cry writing it). If I had more time I would write you a song, but I don't and plus we should do that together someday anyways. I could write down so many fun memories I have with you on this blog, I can't wait to make more! So my main goal is to just let you know that I love you so much. I know that you already know that but I can't say it enough. I am so proud to have you as my dad. It KILLS me that I can't be home to celebrate your fatherness this weekend. Next time I come home we are due for some hang out time. 

Until then, keep on keepin on, and by "on" I mean "awesome". 

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD! 

Happy Fathers Day :) 

The only boy who could ever reach me... Was the son of a preacher man.

2 Years Ago...

June 5th 2010

I started a new journey.

Now, two years later, I look back and I cannot believe where that journey has already taken us. From Marshall Missouri to Tulsa Oklahoma! I am so glad that we got married when we did for SO many reasons, but most of all because we get to have so many years (and so many adventures) together :). The ups and downs have been crazy but one thing has been constant and that is my wonderful husband there by my side through every storm. There have been times that I thought without him I wouldn't have made it (A few times this previous school year). When I want to give up, he gives me vision and strength to continue. I am so happy that I found a man that balances me in the perfect way. He has shown me grace in a way that I didn't know was possible. He is a strong foundation, but a tender heart. He loves me, but loves God more. He is EVERYTHING I want. I love you Micah John! I am so proud of you and so honored to be your wife! I can't wait to see what is next in this journey. 

Adventure is out there! :D 

Ok. Now that the mushy part is over... I have been saving these quotes for a very special occasion. I thought maybe for Micah's birthday (I can probably collect more by then) but I can't contain it anymore. So, here is the beginning of what will be a long list of "Micahisms". And by "Micahisms"I mean ridiculous things that Micah says and does on a regular basis. I hope they bring you as much joy as they do me. 

"What the hay bales?"

"What the halibut?"

"What the Thessalonians?"

(He says you can add "what the" in front of anything and make it cool.)

"Great Gatsby."

(Whatever a gatsby is... is must be pretty great)

"Great gravy"

(He says, "that one isn't even an original")

"Preferential Treatment."

(He uses this sometimes to substitute for saying "good")

"That's Kind."

(He also uses this to substitute for saying "good")

Also... "Your Kind." 

(instead of saying "I like you", or "I love you")

Me- "Micah, will you build me a house with your bare hands like a cowboy?"

Micah- "Madi, I am going to build you a house with my bare brain."

"Golly Bob Howdy"

(He says this at least 3 times a day, sometimes for no reason at all)

"DEAR!"

....stay tuned for more "Micahisms" in September :)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DEAR!

(Us with our cake top on our 1st anniversary)
