Thanks Dad

For every stern look, for every spanking, for every lecture...thanks for loving me.

For telling me how proud you are of me, how smart I am and what a great Mom I am.

Thank you for giving me the confidence to go after the things I wanted...even when it involved trading one of your pregnant cows to a complete stranger. :-)

For setting an example of loving my Mom...through the good times and bad.

For being silly.

For being one of the smartest, most well read and educated men I know.

For being involved. You were home (nearly) everyday of my life and now I see what a HUGE blessing that is. You made our family a priority, we were (are) your trophy and that makes me feel like a princess.

You truly are the best Dad I could have ever hoped for and and even better Papa Joe than I could have imagined for my babies.

I love you and I am so proud that you are my Dad. Hope you had a great day~I love you.
