Happy Father's Day!

So I just have to take a second to write a few words about my dad. Today's the one day I can be super-cheesy and sentimental about my daddio. He's always been such a great supporter and encourager to me, and I am so blessed to have him. We can talk about anything, and do. I'm definitely a Daddy's Girl, but I really feel like he just makes me want to be the best version of myself because I've never ever wanted to disappoint him. I don't know how my parents did it, but they raised me in a way that made me really want to make responsible choices (even if I didn't always succeed at that). They gave us enough freedom, and me and my sisters have always respected their opinions on everything. I've always talked to my dad about everything. Everything. When I got married, Brandon became the guy who I tell everything to. But I still talk to my dad almost every day, and I know he'll always be there for me no matter what. He taught me what it meant to love the Lord in a way that made me curious and passionate about my faith. He taught me what it meant to do the very best you can do at everything you can by putting your whole heart into it. He taught me how to ride a bike, read the Bible, do algebra, and drive a car. And most of all, he taught me what to look for in a husband by being such a great Christian leader in our family. He always did his very best to be the closest thing he could be to an earthly example of our Heavenly Father. I feel so blessed. Happy Father's Day, Dad!
