Ace's second Father's Day!
This morning, Ace's present was waiting for him when he walked in the door from work (he gets off at 6am). I decided to get him a new casual watch for work since the one he has now is slowly dying. I got a great deal on a new G Shock similar to his old one. Needless to say, he was surprised, and he loved it! Along with the usual card from me and card from Acey, I cooked a great dinner and dessert for us tonight before he left for work again.
I tried a yummy new recipe I got from Parenting magazine (thus, it was super easy, and I had majority of the ingredients in my pantry or fridge!). Baked pasta w/summer vegetables- it was a hit w/ the lil guy and the big guy! I grilled some shrimp along side for me and big Ace. I love cooking. My proudest moments are seeing my 2 guys eating happily =) Room for dessert? Always. I made a trifle out of angel food cake, strawberry jello, fresh berries, and cool whip. Yum. Me and my prego self will be finishing off the rest of the angel food cake tonight!
"Anyone can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad."
I love my dad. My dad and I haven't always seen eye to eye, but what teenager living under their parent's roof really does? He was the voice of reason. I remember when I was younger the bike rides on the back of his bike- he'd put me in my seat first then he'd get on- which was scary for me, but he always reassured me I'd be okay. I remember him playing Candyland with me and teaching me how to play monopoly- then playing for hours! I don't know many dads who buy their 16 year old daughters a Mitsubishi Eclipse sportscar as their first car-but he did. Then he replaced it with a brand new Jetta years later when I totalled it my 2nd year away at college. He's done a lot of things for me in my life that I cannot repay him for, but I am ever so grateful for him and blessed to have him as my dad!
Ace is an amazing dad and husband. I respect and admire him for what he does for our family. When we found out we were having our first child, it was decided right then and there that I was going to be a stay at home mom and he'd work full time to support us. We knew it was going to take a lot of sacrifice on our part to live off one income- we weren't even sure exactly what kind of financial toll it would take on us. However, he knew how much I'd wanted to stay home to take care of our kids, and he allowed me to live out that dream. Any time we were having money troubles, and I questioned the decision we'd made for me to stay home, he'd back me 100% saying that he wouldn't have it any other way. He would take 2 jobs if he had to. Although his current job is secure and great for right now, he's always looking for a better one in hopes of settling down closer to family and giving us a better life. So is life perfect with him? We have our good days and our bad days. We've been married for a year and together almost 10...and we're still working on it. Yes of course I love him unconditionally. But even more importantly, I respect him. I'm blessed in the fact he calls me his wife.
