21 days and counting!

I have this application on my phone that reminds me everyday that our oldest is going to enter the new stage in her life as a wife. I am happy for her, I think she made a very good choice. We are gaining a son n law who is tall :) and funny. He can be quiet but you see the wheels turning in his head. I am excited to see how he will love her, dote on her, appreciate her even on their not best days. I never thought I'd find happiness the second time but I did and I hope we can be one of many examples of what marriage is. 

A father is the first man their daughter ever loves...

I am not sure what it is about daddy's and their little girls, but I am sure my husband wouldn't mind if I shared this, he is so happy for Alyssa. He just gets a little sad knowing she will have her own life, own home, and not be here in our home anymore at night. I have read and it seems true, that dads are not big on being involved in the details of the wedding planning,but when the big day arrives dads just hope that the groom will love their daughter as much as they do. We know this to be true,we do see how much Braden loves Alyssa.  

Dads, I think want to still be a speed dial away, to be a shoulder she can still cry on if needed, to be one to give some good advice when asked. Aaron hopefully has shown Alyssa from day one what a good man looks like and how a woman should be treated. We are so proud of who she has become and we realize we are getting older and are now moving into a new phase of life. With that being said you will see tears at this wedding and they will be happy bittersweet tears!
