I've been a very lucky girl. I was blessed with an amazing father and husband and I want to brag about them today.
Dad.....
My Dad is quiet and shy until you get to know him. H
e is pretty old-fashioned but he taught us strong moral values and a great work ethic. He is also very giving with whatever means he has available. He is always there to help me out with whatever I need. He helped us build our home and pretty much takes care of the farming. He is also one fabulous babysitter! When I started running a couple of years ago he decided he wanted to join in. (He can be very competetive, but he also loves to see his kids succeed.) I think that he has either won or placed in every race that he has entered in his age division. He has won the Payson Onion Days 5k the last two years and he is 69 years old. His goal this year is to have all of us win the gold in our age divisions since all of us girls that run are in a different bracket!

my Dad is retired, he still loves to work. He has started a new business this year called Robbin's Tree Farm. Since March we have helped him plant over 2000 new trees. One day I drove out to my parents house and saw someone out in the field with a bonnet. As I drove back down the lane my Dad came over to talk to me and he had one of my Mom's dish towels tied over his head because he didn't have a hat that would keep the sun off his ears. I reminded him that they have something called sunscreen now, but the incident still makes me smile.

Dallan.....
When I was sixteen, a group of friends and I went to McDonalds to get something to eat. As we were pulling through the drive-thru we saw a group of guys come out and get in their car. My nutty friends whistled at them and they pulled around and got our number. A few days later they called and asked us on a date. We've been together ever since. I often think how lucky I was to meet Dallan, for if we had been a minute later I would never have known him.
Like my Dad, Dallan has also taught me a lot of great qualities. He is one of the nicest people I have ever met and has taught me not judge people, to just love them for who they are. I am very high strung and impatient whereas he is very laid back and almost never loses his temper. He has taught me to be more patient and flexible.
I knew when I was dating him that he would be a great dad because of the way he treated his neices and nephews. Some of his favorite dad things are taking the boys an
d sharing his love of the outdoors with them, and taking the girls to get their nails painted while he is getting his hair cut. He loves to watch animated movies with the kids (which I don't) and he can also play video games with them (which I can't, except RockBand). He is awesome at making Ramen Noodles, combing the girls hair after they shower and vacuuming. He is a very encouraging father who is always so proud of his kids. He loves his family more than anything. The most important thing that he does is he is teaching the kids to grow up and be good, responsible, hardworking individuals. He is an amazing dad and I feel so honored to have him be the father of my children.
