• My Dad. He’s a truly awesome individual and I couldn’t ask for a better father. I know two sides to him: the strict military dad I grew up with as a kid and the very relaxed retired man that I know now. I wouldn’t trade either.

He has tattoos. He drives a motorcycle. He makes the best cheese grits in the world. He can quote scripture and cuss in three different languages. He listens to Queen and Wilco. He calls young boys punks. He loves to dance. He will wake you up at 6am and not tell you where you’re going or what you’re going to do. He keeps my baby teeth next to his war medals. He thinks baseball is the only sport worth watching. He will talk to anyone. He makes a lot of noise when he drinks coffee. He talks to God when he mows the lawn. He loves dogs and babies. He met me when I was six months old and twenty years later told me I was the reason he wanted to marry my mom.

And I get to see him TOMORROW! See you guys in a little over a week.
