What would we do without Dad?

What would we do without Dad? That's hard to imagine, and I think/know that there are times when we forget how lucky we are to have him. (same goes for our mom, but that's a different day on the blog) He really can do anything, and he's never been afraid to try. He's not only the antique freak (as mentioned previously), but he is the master home improvement guy! He's redone a condo that I had down in Cinci, and he did everything over in the house that I have now. His next challenge is to help tackle my sister's new cottage/lake house that they just bought. The funny thing is is that dad gets so excited to help b/c he always has a vision of what something can look like. We're lucky that we inherited that from him as well!

Here's a picture of my dad repainting my guest room. (he painted the room a year ago, but of course, I decided that I didn't like the color, so he came back up to repaint it this summer)


Even though my Dad is great at everything mentioned above, the thing that I love most about him is that he has loved me unconditionally and always been there for my sister and I. I can't imagine having anybody else as my dad. He's always taught my sister and I right from wrong. (we may not have always listened, but I think we've done ok thoughout the years) And the one thing that I always remember from him is that you should never go to bed angry nor hold a grudge b/c you never know if that's the last time you will ever see that person again.

However, the most important thing that my dad does for us is that he always tells us how much he loves us and always means it. (never a doubt) So, Dad, thanks for everything that you do for J and I! I'm looking forward to having you walk me down the aisle next year when I get married! Luv ya!
