WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS POST IF...



...Jane Austen novels are not your thing or you shy away from any movie starring Julia Roberts, because this is going to be sappy.

Since Sunday was Father's Day, I wanted to take a minute to pay a little tribute to my sweet husband Mike. He is the most loving and kind husband and a terrific father. He teaches our boys so many things, but right now these are the three I am most grateful for:
1. He teaches them to love and respect me, by example. He shows his love for me every minute he is with me. He keeps me close, convices me I am better than I really am, and is my partner in everything. He is not too good to do laudry, too tired to put the kids to bed, or too busy to help clean up at the end of the day. He puts our marriage first, takes me out often, and is always figuring out a way to surprise me. He is the love of my life. Our sons will be fantastic husbands because they have a perfect example.
2. He teaches them the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is the one who taught our kids to pray, he teaches our family home evening lessons and tells them scripture stories. He emphasizes reverence for sacred things and talks to them daily about God. He is a living example of service, kindness and acceptance. I hope my boys turn out just like him..
3.He teaches them to have fun, to be brave, to not take life too seriously. He shows them that the world is full of exciting things to do and that every opportunity can be theirs. He is not afraid to take a risk or look silly. He works hard and plays hard. He genuinely loves people and teaches our boys to do the same.
Happy Father's Day babe. I love you so much!
