Today is special for more than one reason. As all of you know, it is Father's Day. I am so blessed by Daddy and Papa, my mom's dad! I can't even begin to say how thankful I am for them! :)
Today also marks one year of dating my favorite young man, Tyler. We celebrated yesterday and had the grandest time! I'll post all sorts of pictures from our adventures later.
But for today, enjoy the old pictures of my father and grandfathers and the pictures of my time with Ty over the past year.

Daddy coached my basketball teams in elementary middle school. Even more special to me is the fact that he supported (and still supports!) my pursuit of musical things :) It's not exactly his cup of tea, but he's behind me all the way!

Missing in this photo is my lovely sister in love, Amanda. :( She had to work today, and we missed her greatly!
This photo is in honor of Pop, my grandfather who passed away in 1997.


I LOVE YOU, DADDY! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

At Ben and Angela's Halloween Party in October. We've both loved getting to be better friends with those two. :) They're the greatest!
Puzzles with Tsukasa and my parents one night.
Thanksgiving weekend Ty came over and played games with a bunch of us girls. Let's just say - again - that he's a good sport.

So,so sweet. I am so happy for you and Ty! I loved looking at all of the pictures! Oh, and the ones of you and your dad are precious :)
ReplyDeleteMore, more, MORE! :-D
ReplyDeleteAt your graduation party, I confess I sat and watch the video quite a while. I had my suspicions that Ty was interested in you and I wanted to get to know you through the video!
LOVE the photos of you and your family! Too sweet. The ice plant blooming in CA makes me smile.
Jesse, I love seeing your pictures! You are stunning, young lady. I miss you so much!
ReplyDeleteAw, Ari!
ReplyDeleteCome and visit sometime soon, okay? :) I'd love to see you and meet your boys!
Congrats to you and Tyler, Jessie! One year, that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous year you have had! Congrats to you and Tyler. And, love all of your family photos - especially the ones of you and your Dad. Very special! A beautiful tribute to the wonderful men in your life :) Love, Aunt Cathy
