Happy Father's Day

 Let me tell you about Brent as a father. He does a lot. More than most fathers. He stays on top of the Girl Scout meetings, he's been a cookie dad, he gets the girls to dance, he performs in the Dad's Dance, he cooks dinner, he takes them to dental appointments, he ensures they get volunteer hours... he does A LOT!

Brent is a wonderful father to all girls. He's not the kind of guy who needs to have a son to feel like a man. He values women in general and while he loves a good football game, he also loves a great musical performance. Brent brings masculinity to our home but he also is a soft place to land for all the feminine energy. 

Last year I took photos of them all on the trampoline and they insisted we do it again.

I think no matter how much you date a person before marriage, there is always a leap of faith that must be made regarding the relationship. There's simply no way to know the kinds of trials you will face individually as well as a couple. You have no idea how those experiences will shape you. Man am I glad I wake up next to this guy because let me tell you- I had no idea. 

I had no idea how much my wounded heart would need him to kiss away my tears and hold me when life got tough- even when life was tough for him. I still love this man but the love is much deeper and stronger than anything I felt when we were young and innocent and just newly in love. 

Happy Father's Day Brent!
