Dad's are Awesome :)

Today, I just wanted to write about the precious men who have been outstanding Father’s in my life. In the darkness, there is light! And the light here is 4 dads! I love you all and thankful for each of you!

First off, my daddy. We have had our ups and downs the past few years, but the love that a father and daughter have for each other is strong enough to make it work. I am thankful that we were able to see each other before I deployed, and we have talked very often since I have been deployed. I am thankful for the song ‘Forgiveness’ by Matthew West because it gave me the courage to try again with our relationship, and here we are, almost a year later, going strong. Thank you for your help and understanding while I have been out here. If anyone understands what I am going through, it is you which is why I am so thankful that we have mended our relationship. I know that I can depend on you for help, advice and just to listen to me if I need to talk about anything happening here. I love you daddy, Baby Jessica.
Poppy- you have been the best husband for my mom, and a great father to me. Thank you for accepting me as your own. I am so thankful you were able to be there for so many of the special events in my life, those moments will never come again for me and I am happy you were there for them! Thank you for supporting Justin and I, and always being there for us.  You are going to be such a great father for little sister Madalyn- she is so blessed to have such Godly parents raising her. You are such a Godly inspiration to me, and to Justin. You always have been since those years and years ago when I first met you for Falls Creek! How exciting to see God’s plan work out.  I love you, Poppy! Happy Fathers Day! Love, Baby Girl.

Marty- you are an awesome Father-in-Law! I am so thankful to have you in my life! I am thankful I married Justin and I inherited such an outstanding family! I want to say thank you for everything that you did to raise Justin! You have been such an influence in his life and we are both so thankful for you. Thank you for all the lake trips where I learned to love the lake life. Thank you for helping Justin take care of our babies while I have been away. I know that they stress you out and make a mess, but you still offered to take care of them and that meant a lot to me when I heard that! I love and miss you! Love, your daughter-in-law!

Donnie Jack- I am thankful that I have two father-in-laws in my life!  That just means a bigger family and that is awesome! I am thankful for you! I enjoy going up to the mountain to shoot guns and ride the 4-wheelers. It is always an adventure whenever we go up there, that is for sure! We always leave with some kind of a story to tell! I am not sure if I am the daughter-in-law you dreamed for your son, but I am sure trying to make him happy and be everything that he deserves to have. I look forward to seeing you again. I love and miss you!  Love, your daughter-in-law!
