Happy father's Day

So I know it’s a little early for Father’s Day but I am dedicating this blog to all Fathers- well actually just mine! Daddy-this one is for you!

I was blaring my ipod enjoying a big empty house all to myself when Billy Ray and Miley’s song “Ready Set Don’t Go” came on. I have heard this song umpteen times since it first came out but I guess the words never really meant anything to me until now. As I listened I realized that Daddy probably feels a lot like Billy Ray. I mean let’s face it fathering three girls is tough enough now they are all grown up, moving out, having babies (Welcome baby Gia!), and starting their own families- I’m the only one left! Being the youngest of Daddy’s little girls and of course his favorite ( Sorry sisters..But we know it’s true!) It is probably hard see us all grown up and moving on to new phases in our lives because it forces you into a new phase of your life too! (Pappy) It’s one thing for Elaina to live next door and Allison three hours away, but for the next 27 months I will be a 20+ hour plane ride away! In a different time zone, in a different country on a different continent! Daddy it’s going to be hard! But I’m going to be okay! This is my dream, this is what I want, and if you’re not ready to talk about it yet that’s okay we still have a month! But I’ll leave you with some advice with the help of Billy Ray:


I’ve got dreams too big for this town and I need to give them a shot. I’m at the starting line of the rest of my life, as ready as I ever been I’m waiting on your blessing before I hit that open road I say things are falling in place- to you it feels like they’re falling apart But it’s time for you to paint a big old smile on your face and hide your breaking heart. I know this is where you don’t say what you want to bad to say. This is where you want to, but you won’t get in the way of me and my dreams and you’ll let me spread my wings!


Love you Daddy!
