Happy Birthday Dad!

I am a lucky girl in so many ways, but consider myself extra thankful for the man that God gave me to call "Dad." My dad has taught me many things in my 25 years: a love for family, enjoyment in sports and games, responsibility with finances, and how to love others with the biggest heart possible. I am so happy when I am with my Dadoo, and I love the many memories we have made as father and daughter. I also consider it blessed to know that the 2 most important men in my life have such a great relationship; JR has no doubt become just like a son to him as well. I cant wait to see my father with our kids too, as I know he is going to love them oh so much! He has already picked out a name for himself, "V-Diddy", which describes the kind of grandpa I know he will be~ hip and cool for sure :)

I love you so much Dad and cannot express enough how much you mean to me. I will never forget the song that you picked to dance with me on my wedding day... and consider it a privilege to call you mine.

Happy Birthday!!! I love you!!!!


In My Daughter's Eyes

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daugter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

  2. Aww, my dad and I danced to In My Daughter's Eyes at my wedding. He promised me he would not let me cry and keep me laughing and smiling instead.... but that turned out to be a hard promise to keep! ;)

    Family birthdays are so fun!
