Ode to my Dad


Now I don't have any pictures of just my Dad and I on my computer...sad I know. However I thought I would put up this darling picture of my Dad and Marin and tell you why I love my Dad. There are many reasons why I love my Dad however a story comes to mind when I think of an example of how awesome my Dad is.
Our jeep wasn't registered and our car was in the shop so we didn't have a choice we had to drive the jeep....we got pulled over at 5 in the morning taking Mark to meet up with his coworkers to go to the academy. The police officer told us he was going to impound our car and blah blah blah. He let us drive it to the meeting point so Mark could go. I was left with the cop and a 3 month old baby in a parking lot. I called my house and told my Dad what was going on and he came and picked us up. I was secretly hoping that my Mom would come cause I knew what my Dad would say....nope it was my Dad. He showed up got out of the car helped move Marin over to his car and get anything of value out of the jeep. On the way back to his house he started teasing me about it and laughing at me to which I started to cry and said "It's not...." he said "It's not what?" I waited for a minute and said "well I was going to say funny, but it kind of is" My Dad starting laughing and said Yes it is pretty funny.
My Dad has the ability to laugh at situations even when most people, I'm going to say most people cause it makes me feel better, would just want to cry. I haven't heard him complain about having to come to his kids "rescue". He is a wonderful husband and Dad and I am lucky enough to be his only little girl.....well until Marin came along and then when my brothers get married.... Nope I'll still be his favorite.
