HaPpY FATHERS Day to the most amazing man!

I can't help but feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful Husband and Father to Britney! The night before brit's wedding, she gave letters to her dad and I. With permission, I am posting exerpts she wrote to her daddy. I feel it is such a nice tribute to Kirt and tells what kind of person and FATHER he is.

Awwwww... just loveLOVElove this!

So here goes!!

Dad

Wow. What can I even say to you? How do I even begin this? You are the most AMAZING father in the whole entire world. I can’t even tell you how lucky I feel to be able to call you my dad. I really truly am so blessed to have you in my life. I can’t tell you how many times my friends have commented on how awesome you are. It’s no secret that I have the best dad around. I get that ALL THE TIME. I’m not even kidding you. Every single friend that has gone on vacation with our family has said that you are the most amazing man they have ever met. And it’s so true.

You have such a strong testimony of the gospel and the light of Christ shines through you. You are honestly the most Christ-like person that I have ever met. You have raised me with the gospel and have taught me right from wrong. You have helped me gain a testimony for myself and have helped me get to where I am today. I love your enthusiasm about learning more about the gospel. You are always reading some church history book or prophecy book or something. I LOVE this about you. You are so dedicated to learning more and bettering yourself. You always give 100% into your calling.

You are also the most selfless person that I know. In our home, it has always been apparent that mom and I come first. You never complain when we ask you to do something, you just do it. Because you know that it will make us HAPPY. And usually these aren’t very fun tasks. But you do them anyway. You also show this selflessness in your interactions with other people. You are constantly serving neighbors and friends when you already have a full plate of stuff you need to accomplish. But you never hesitate to stop and help someone in need. You are the most honest person that I know. You run a great, honest business and treat everyone around you with respect.

Thank you for ALWAYS making me feel loved. I have never doubted that you love me with your whole heart. And thanks for always making me feel beautiful and talented. It’s really true when they say that a girl’s self-esteem rests upon her relationship with her father and how he treats her. Thank you for that.

I can’t thank you enough for ALL that you have done for me in my life and for ALL that you have taught me. And I also can’t thank you enough for giving me the wedding and wedding dress of my dreams. You are AMAZING! I love you so much Daddy!

There you have it!

The GREATEST dad
in the world
according to Brit and Jill :)

I have thought about my father also so much lately and actually think of him often even though he passed away 16 years ago. I came accross some fun old pictures of him and I am going to post on him soon. I would like to give him the time he deserves probably later this month...
