Happy Daddio's Day!

I know, I know. Cheese McGee over here blogging about how she loves her daddy man. But it's true! I do love my daddy man! He's super awesome! So let me tell you a few things about him.

1. He has bush-man hair which I am extremely grateful for because that means that even though I have very soft, baby fine hair, I got a LOT of it thanks to this Gent. Which means I have a respectable sized ponytail despite being blonde.

2. He's a closet laugher. Now you may be wondering, "Maddie, what in the world is a "closet laugher?" Not to fret my darlings, I will explain! My dad presents as fairly conservative. He is not loud, he is quiet and sensitive and ridiculously patient (please see: opposite of my mom--however, she is sensitive too!). But, when it's just family and especially when discussing something crazy my mom has done he will laugh hysterically. Like holding his tummy, wiping tears from his eyes laughing. He does not do this frequently in public and never with strangers, but with the fam bam, it is a common and entertaining occurrence. And things just get even more funny watching this quiet man laugh that hard. 

3. He has so much faith. Never once, when I have declared that I want to do something has he said, "you can't do that" or "please don't leave!" (I love you mom!). He has always made me feel as if he has complete and utter confidence that whatever I decide to do, I will accomplish and I will do it well. That has been the backbone in my confidence in myself.  He has always made me feel as if he thinks "well of course, you want to do it, so you'll do it." I am incredibly grateful for that confidence. 

So there are a few factoids about my daddy man. He's pretty much awesome and I'm really glad he's mine!
