I love you, Daddy.

Everytime I hear this song I think of my Dad and I. Specifically the pictures of Dad and I in Dallas jerseys together, or in the hammock...me with my Fisherprice binoculars lying beside him with his real binoculars, and even all of the pictures he took of us in his old office... I'd always be hanging from his neck laughing and he'd have the biggest smile.

Don't have my big black notebook...so here's a blog:

Tonight I looked over at Justin while he was singing "Baby Keep Smiling" by Lou Bega. We were in the car, on our way to meet up with some family of his that was in town, no big deal, but I could not take my eyes off him. The cutest smile I've ever seen spread across his face and those bright blue eyes lit up as he sang out every note. He looked in my direction and I could feel my cheeks turn pink. Almost a year down the road and my stomach still turns to butterflies. He sings a song, he does the "Pants Dance," he talks in a funny accent or impersonates someone we each know, and I can't help but smile. And not one of those cheesy smiles we do to please a guest when they're telling us a story about their Christmas, or some other event that we really care nothing about, and not even one of those half-assed grins we give the AFV videos that come on late at night...but a genuine smile so massive my cheeks will even begin to ache. It's one of those smiles that make your whole face light up...you radiate, and everyone can see that you are head over heels in love. And I am! Sometimes I feel like spinning in circles, singing louder than the radio to all my favorite love songs, jumping up and down, and telling everyone.. It's overwhelming! But of course, I don't want to be taken away to the loony bin ( Or worse, compared to Tom Cruise's couch-jumping on Oprah's show) so on nights like tonight, when I'm feeling especially blessed to have a boyfriend that gives out maybe a few too many compliments, kisses me at exactly the right moment, or says just the right thing... I turn on this song. It's EXACTLY how I feel about him in ever way. Nobody can make me happier than that boy can.
