Poppa Bear

Today just happens to be Father's Day, and I just want to say how thankful I am to still have mine to celebrate.  I think there are a lot of people who are suffering today without their daddies.  Parents are such a blessing to have.  Those of us who have always had parents to take care of us our whole life's don't realize just how special they really are. I cannot imagine my life without my daddy.  
I unfortunately don't have a ton of memories of my childhood with my dad, but from what I hear, I was daddy's girl :).  There were a few years in my life that I held a lot of unexplained resentment towards my dad, for things that I could not change or excuse...so it hasn't always been a bed of roses.  Thank God I realized just how important it was to still have him.  I sought forgiveness for the wasted years I had spent feeling the way I did.  We were able to renew our father daughter relationship and have been blessed to have so many new memories.  
My daddy is my rock.  He has seen me through all my silly childhood and teenage phases, he has provided for me, he keeps me safe when I feel in danger, he comforts me when I feel like I can't go on, and most of all he has always loved me despite my flaws.  
I am not a parent, so I have no idea how it must feel to watch your child grow and eventually become an adult.  I imagine it is like a roller coaster ride.  Thankfully my dad stayed on the ride.  Nothing can compare to the love and support that he has always given to me.  He has always encouraged me to be myself, be strong, follow my dreams, and to never give up.  He instilled in me principles  that are invaluable, just by his example.  By the world's standards he is no where near perfect, but to me, he is!!  

Cheers to another Father's Day that I am able to celebrate mine!

I need to catch up...

So...Independence Day weekend, a very special person in my life came to spend the weekend with me.  We had a party on Sunday the 3rd at  The Aqua , which was a lot of fun.  Monday we drove down to Indiana and I stayed there all week with some friends from my "home town."  Thank you Ashlen and Austin ♥.  I went down in preparation for my sweet friend's wedding on Saturday, July 9th.  I was a bridesmaid in the wedding...and wanted to be there to help set things up with her and her family. So...I plan to write more about my experiences the last few days..but right now I am stressed for time.  So I will post some photos until then.

this time last year..

This time last year my husband, our pup, and I were living in a tiny little truck bed camper in the middle of NO MAN'S land California.  Our energy was powered by a generator that we had to fill with gas every single day, and our heat was powered by propane tanks that were so old we could hardly find a place to get them filled.  Thanksgiving was a cold, gloomy, rainy day and we were stuck inside all day.  We tried to cook food on our tiny stove, but it was by no means a traditional Thanksgiving.  We watched movies almost all day and played with our pup, who was still new to us.  I was so heart broken, I could hardly see straight.  He held me together when I felt like falling to pieces.  I had a lot to be thankful for, I had my health, my husband, I had food, family...you know, all the things we are always used to having.  I was still so sad.  I wanted to spend the holiday cooking, eating, spending time with the people I love, being comfortabl...
