Sunday Six: Father's Day Edition!

First off, Happy Father's Day to all the father's out there reading!  I am so blessed that I had the opportunity to spend the evening relaxing with my dad and the rest of my family.

I decided to mix it up a little today and make a post with 6 of my favorite pictures/memories of my dad!  

Warning before you begin: My dad HATES taking pictures. Lots of these are selfies:)

1.Vacations. Over the years, my dad has taken the time to go on trips with just me or with me and my sisters.  Over the years, we have been to Paris, Washington DC, Maryland, Florida, and the beach several times.  One year, we went down to Amelia Island in Florida for a long weekend.  Dad and I drove down together and my sisters met us the next day.  One night, we walked around in the city before eating and found this fun statute. 

2. Aubree's Wedding.  Back in 2009, my sister got married!  While the actual ceremony didn't go 100% as planned, daddy was there throughout the entire process.  Here are some pictures from the rehearsal and ceremony!

3. High School Proms! Thankfully, throughout high school, my house could be a place where everyone could meet/hang out.  My dad was pretty chill about that.  We met here to take pictures for prom both years.  Clearly he doesn't like to smile for my pictures, but here we are senior year! 


4. Spontaneous trips. Freshman year when I came home from college for winter break, my dad asked me one morning if I wanted to drive down to Daytona Beach with him for two nights.  I jumped at the opportunity and it turned out to be a blast! We got to relax on the beach, see family members, and even tour the Daytona Race Track! 


5. Now, I know my dad isn't in this next picture.  But without him, graduation wouldn't have been possible! As much as I whined and complained throughout high school and college, my dad was always there to push me through to do my absolute best. 
6. Random silly-ness.  I love to joke around and have fun, and I definitely get my sense of humor and sarcasm from my dad.  

Thanks for always being there for me, dad.  No matter what the problem, I know that I can always call you.  Thanks for showing me what good parenting looks like. I hope that one day (waaaaaay in the future) I can pass along some of the unconditional love that you have shown me.

Happy Father's Day!
