Happy Father's Day

 I am so lucky because I get to celebrate two amazing fathers today!  I can't imagine what life would be like without either of them, and I am so thankful for everything they have shared with me and taught me.  

I absolutely love this picture of me and my dad on my wedding day.  I was his first little girl to get married and I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to let me go...luckily I didn't go too far!  I think this picture is such a sweet reminder of how much I look up to my dad.  Tyler still jokes about wondering when the time will come that I'll go to him first for advice instead of immediately calling my dad.  My dad is such a strong, confident, determined, loving, and dedicated man, and I have learned so much from him.  He has been such an incredible model of love, and there is rarely a dull moment in life because of him.  Whether we are installing a zip-line in the living room, racing as fast as we can up the stairs without bending our knees, or seeing who can get the measuring tape closest to the ceiling, my dad has taught me how to get the most out of any situation, and I am more than happy to call myself a daddy's girl!  I love you Daddy!  Sorry I can't be there to celebrate, but we'll fix that soon!  You know I can't stay away too long anyways!

I am also so happy to be celebrating my father-in-law today!  The more Tyler and I learn about our own marriage and the roles we play in our relationship, the more we realize I am just like Zac.  I love that about our relationship, because I think there's a really unique and mutual understanding of what the other thinks and feels!  This picture was at my friend Nikki's wedding, it was during the father/daughter dance and I loved getting to share this moment with him.  Zac is such a sweet, caring, loving, and generous father to me, and he takes such good care of his only (for now) daughter!  I'm so thankful for you Zac...I love you so much and I hope you feel loved and honored today!

Happy Father's Day to all of those AMAZING men in our lives, and the AMAZING men who will be dads in our lives!
