Guess Who Is Having The Best Week Ever?

NOT me.

We all remember that show.

Best week Ever

Still not ringing a bell? Maybe you remember these guys!

If you still don't remember, click here!

To being, it has been a challenging week. I got in a car accident that is looking to turn out to be my fault. Rough life. 

Estimate Damage: $4200.00

The worst part of this whole ordeal is that I am going to California in two days...I was going to take my car. But on the other hand I am NOT injured so I am thankful and lucky if you look at it "glass half full"!

Okay, 30 second pity party over. I have been getting into photography lately. I have always had a thing for it, even when I was a kid. I love to take pictures.  

I needed some people to photograph, and when everyone bailed on me, I decided to use my parents. They didn't turn out half bad. Here is a preview, I am still editing the rest!

June 1, 1985 (27 Years)

Blessed. 

But as for me, I have been hanging out a lot with my friends lately, maybe a little too much. Nah! 

You only live once, ya know! 

Next time we'll meet again blogland, I will be on the Beaches in California. 

See you there! 

Have a great rest of your week. 

Hope life is beautiful wherever you are!

I Love You, Dad.

Dear Dad,

         Today is the day that we celebrate you. Not for turning another year older, or because of how many years that you have been married to my mom, or Christmas for that matter. But we celebrate you for the person you are. The person that spent 7 hours teaching me to ride my bike. That read me stories,  checked my homework, and  taught me to play tennis. That taught me how to frame a building, paint a wall, and drill drywall. (Carpenter by trade) You came to every match, play, recital, game, school/Church function and sat center stage. Today I thank you. I thank you for making the right choices in life. I realize that I am so lucky that I have a dad that was home every night that sat at the kitchen table and not on a barstool. That I have a dad that went to work instead of working the system. You taught me work ethic and manners. You taught me to have a sense of humor. "Kill em with comedy" You set an example for me that I try to achieve everyday.  

Today I thank you, for being you.

Love,

Shannen--the daughter with the red hair

P.S. I hope you like the stuff that I got for you. 

This is my Dad, Jeff. People say we look alike. But I don't see it.

I will let you decide! 

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! 

Hope life is beautiful wherever you are!
