Father's Day

Where in the world do I start? 

June 21st was a huge day for the Morrison family. We celebrated our first anniversary. It was the first day of summer (y'all that's super important to me). And it was Josh's first Father's Day. 

Let me explain a little something about Josh and fatherhood...

Everybody that knows me knows that I can get a little "demanding" (I think most people actually call it "crazy" but whatever...). I can get a little upset at times about a lot of things. BUT when it comes to Josh and the way he has handled fatherhood...ZERO complaints from me in that department. There really aren't even words to express my gratitude.

Y'all, I travel every other week for work. During this time, Josh might as well be a single dad. Ever since Jace was two months old, Josh has had "family boy's night" with Jace every other week. He does this on top of having a job where he also travels every other week. We could make life so much "easier" by having me find something new where I worked less and stayed in town. But he knows I am passionate about working and advancing in my career. And he loves his little Jace more than anything. And he is more than happy to spend that one-on-one time with our little nugget. 

I have talked to numerous fathers who have told me that they couldn't do what he does. Josh works very hard to support his family. On top of that, he supports my passions. And on top of that, he takes care of an INFANT all on his own. I am completely and totally blown away by how wonderful of a father he is. Jace hit the jackpot with that one. 

Like I've said before, Josh and I don't really do presents for occasions like this. And despite being a semi-intelligent and somewhat-clever person, there is nothing that I could possibly dream of that would be an appropriate gift to Josh on Father's Day.  There is literally nothing that I could give him to make him realize how much I adore the way he is a father to my son.

All I did was make Josh a little picture frame.  And it's a little bit funny because I tried on a couple different occasions, and Jace just didn't want to cooperate.

First attempt:

Second attempt:

Third attempt:

We settled with this:

Jace is obviously too young to understand what a great father he has. He's too young to realize how lucky he is. He's too young to appreciate all of the time and energy that Josh puts in to being a wonderful father. But he will realize someday. And I am convinced and grateful that Jace will share that same love with own children.

Josh has many talents, and he has done a lot of great things in his life so far. But goodness...nothing compares to how well he's done fatherhood.

Happy Father's Day, Josh - you really are the best dad in the whole wide world :)
