Happy Father's Day....

My dad past on many years ago.  Although he wasn't the father he should have been to his children I still loved him away.  May he rest in peace.

God knows what we need during those formative years growing up though and what my dad couldn't be for me while I was growing up I had in a fantastic father figure who loved me as if I were one of his own children.  He wasn't just a father figure but my pastor and the man who led me to Christ at the young age of 12 years old.  I have always referred to him as Dad.  I was a life that was blessed by God when He brought John Gordon into my life.  He and his wife, Anne (aka Mom), will always be my 2nd parents.  My godly parents.  The ones who always pointed me to Christ every step of the way when I was growing up.  I still stay in touch with them to this day.

Then there's my amazing husband who is the best father ever!  I love the relationship that he and our son, T, have.  It's something I wanted so desperately growing up from my own father but never had.  It blesses my heart so much to watch them together.  He guides and leads him so wonderfully.  My heart overflows because I get to watch their relationship grow and get better every year.  

Scot is the father he is because of his Dad!  My father-in-law, Franklin Neal (aka Popsie), is amazing.  He loves his family immensely.  He loves the Lord the same.  He is a wealth of knowledge that I could never unravel here as I write this post.  He is the best Popsie ever to his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

To say that my life has been blessed immensely is an understatement.  What I was missing in my childhood God has given back to me in John Gordon, who showed me how a father should be to his children leading by example.  In Franklin Neal, who is so loving and puts his family above everything except God in his life.  And lastly in my husband who is an amazing dad to our son but also an amazing husband to me.  I'm thankful to God everyday for the blessings in my life!  

Happy Father's Day!

My Dad!

Driving Mom Home after Celebration Dinner…

T drove us home tonight after we had a celebration dinner for his straight A’s again. My boy is becoming a very good responsible driver. So proud of the progress that he’s making. We’ve had many talks this past week after a friend of mine was in a terrible accident and a 13 year old lost their life. Then another young lady a couple days later had a fatal accident and lost her life at 20 years old. Many many talks about safe driving habits and watching out for the other knuckleheads on the road as well. 

T is Almost Done with School…

T still has a little bit of math to do then his EOG’s next week and he will be done with school for the year. He has been working hard to get things done. Here’s his report card for the subjects he’s completed. 

This report card is generated from the classes he takes through AOP Monarch Online. I will have an official one to share once he’s totally done. 

More on The Trailer Upfit…

First coat of bed liner. 2nd coat coming soon. 

Final Coat of bedliner. It’s looks incredible. Scot has done an amazing job. 

Memorial Day....

Today we want to take a moment an honor a family member on this Memorial Day.  He was lost before Scot was born but we still feel the loss just that same.  We are so grateful for all those who have served and lost their lives so that we may continue to live in freedom.  We never ever want to take that for granted.  

Taping off the Doors…

T taped off the doors for his dad because that’s on the list to prime and paint this week as well.
