Dad's 60th Birthday!!!

Whoo!!!  It sure has been awhile.  I don't know about you, but the holidays were crazy and life hasn't really slowed down for me since then.

Before I update more katiejames images and news, I need to tell you about my last week.  My dad turned 60 and he, my mom, and some of their friends all met in Nashville to celebrate him.  My house was homebase, and we all really had a blast.

I recently joined Pinterest (I stayed away for a long time, but just couldn't resist the temptation anymore) and found the most amazing idea....so I stole it.  I contacted (with Mom's help) a bunch of Dad's friends and acquaintances from his high school days through today.  I told them that I was putting together "60 Years of Memories" for Dad, and I'd love their recollections.

It turned out awesome, and it was such a fun surprise and gift for Dad!!  I think I enjoyed reading the memories as they came in as much as Dad did.

My Dad is one of the most amazing men I have had the pleasure of knowing.  As we became adults, he  mastered the art of transforming into our friend and not just our parent.  He is full of fun, integrity, honesty, and he has been a living example all my life of the love of Christ.  I love you, Dad!!
