I wanted to talk about some cool dad's I know...
God: It's always been interesting for me to think about God being my Father. It's really cool... and he really is a great Father. There are a million reasons... the two I can think of now: His amazing grace... and the blessings I have received by having the below dad's as a part of my life:
My dad: For about 23 years of my life, he was the coolest guy I knew. No really, my dad and I have always been close, and yes, I am a self-professed Daddy's girl. I admire and love my dad so much, and enjoy being his daughter so much, that I *really* wanted to have a girl... so that she could have fun being a daddy's girl too! I wanted her to have what I did....
My husband: I could have never had the above thought if I didn't have such a wonderful husband! I knew he would be an awesome dad... the kind of dad every girl wants! And he has definently lived up to that... and beyond. He is such a great dad! He takes wonderful care of our daughter and spends lots of time with her. We definently do team parenting!
My brother: It's been really neat to see my brother with his two boys. He's a great dad and it's really cool to see him in that role... because you know, as a sister, knowing his younger years... it makes one wonder if your siblings will grow up. :) But he's turned out great and I have been blessed to see how God has worked in his life. We are both so blessed to have been raised in a Christian home and receive that solid foundation that has brought us to where we are now.
There are lots of other dad's I know who are great, and it would take too long to name them. The short list has to include my father-in-law, who is a phenomenal grandfather to my child and raised two fantastic sons. The other on the short list would be my brother-in-law, who has two of -the- most well behaved and great kids I've ever known!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

I really think that you are one of the coolest people I know. I like your last two blogs. I also like your new look. It looks awesome. Even though this new one is different than the last one, they both really portray your presonality. I was thinking this looks kind of trekie and girlie. The other one was very intellectual and you are pretty smart. Dan and I did spring cleaning yesterday and got rid of stuff as well. Sounds like it's the time for that in both our homes. :)
Keith got a mention! Go Keith!
Cleaning up and organizing is really helpful. You can see what you need to do much, much better when things are organized! Of course, I am a librarian. I take classes in how to organize--its important!
This is your Mom! You know I have ALWAYS enjoyed your writing and I love that you have started a blog. I heartily concur with everything you said about the "fathers" in your life. They are all great and deserve all the praise you heaped on this Father's Day.
Love you my sweet daughter,
Mom
Hi CB...I have a blog here too and I'm pretty new at it. Is there a way that we can subscribe to each others sites? I know that it works that way with xanga, but how does it work here? shawna
