Happy Father's Day!!!

Today is a very special day to remember and honor our fathers who have been in our lives since the day we were born. I don't know what my life would be like if my dad wasn't around. He is a great man, our hero, a loving family man and fun guy to hang out with. There are so many things that I love about my dad:

1. He makes us laugh
2. Has a good heart and a strong testimony of the Gospel
3. Supports us and is willing to help others
4. Has always been there for us since the day we were born
5. Always pushes us to be PROACTIVE to seek our dreams and opportunities
6. Always up to spend time with my sisters, my mom and me
7. Never gives up

I know that there are more than 7 things that I love about my dad and there will always be an endless number of them. Father's Day makes me think of the days we spent together as father and daughter or as a family. I'm so grateful and thankful for my dad and the things that he has done for us. Couple of my favorite memories about my dad are when we went to Color Me Mine and worked on fun projects together, the California vacation 10 years ago, horseback riding in the mountains down home in Mexico and go-cart racing.

Whenever I needed comfort or help on problems I face in life he comforts me with his sweet hugs and makes me laugh with his jokes. I'm so thankful for the wonderful father God has given me in this life and I know he'll be this way and always be there for me even though he has to be in places where he needs to be.

Feliz Dia del Padre, Papi!
