Lots to celebrate this weekend. Today was Father’s Day and yesterday Chris turned 35. So let me take a few minutes to tell you why I love this man I met almost 13 years ago. I love him because he’s honest and good; he adores me and the girls; he’s a hands-on daddy; he has never been anything but loving and respectful; he’s loyal and hard working; he’s strong and supportive; he’s very funny; he has a big heart and is my one true love.
“For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.” ~Rosemonde Gerard
I love you Christopher...
Happy Birthday and Happy Father’s Day!

And to my dad... Happy Father’s Day. Thanks for all the wonderful things you have taught me over the years. Your “Second Effort” speech rings clear, especially with all that has taken place this year with my health. Growing up, my brother and I must have heard my dad say those two words over a hundred times. Whether it was sports, school work, a friendship, or our first job. Sometimes Third and Fourth Effort are required... What a great life lesson, one I will pass down to my girls as they experience the ups and downs of life. Thanks Dad, Love You!!!
