Our Father's Day

This year we celebrated Father's Day over a span of 2 days.

Saturday evening we went out with my parents to a newer restaurant that my dad learned about while vacation in Puerto Rico. It was a Puerto Rican Restaurant and it was sooo good. It's a little far for frequent visits, not that we even eat out much, but I definitely think it will be one that we do visit more.

Then Sunday after church we headed out to Jason's parents house. We played a lot with the kids. Going to the park and swimming in the pool (a very small blow up pool). And ate some more delicious Puerto Rican cuisine, only this time, homecooked.

We also got Jay a gift for his desk at work. A picture frame with the four of us and the lyrics to the song Lead Me by Sanctus Real. I think the only other picture Jason has of me on his desk is me pre-engagement. It was about time for an update. I'll leave you with the song lyrics to Lead Me...

I look around and see my wonderful life

Almost perfect from the outside

In picture frames I see my beautiful wife

Always smiling

But on the inside, I can hear her saying...

"Lead me with strong hands

Stand up when I can't

Don't leave me hungry for love

Chasing dreams, what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight

That I'm still the love of your life

I know we call this our home

But I still feel alone"

I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes

They're just children from the outside

I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine

They're in independent

But on the inside, I can hear them saying...

"Lead me with strong hands

Stand up when I can't

Don't leave me hungry for love

Chasing dreams, but what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight

That I'm still the love of your life

I know we call this our home

But I still feel alone"

So Father, give me the strength

To be everything I'm called to be

Oh, Father, show me the way

To lead them

Won't You lead me?

To lead them with strong hands

To stand up when they can't

Don't want to leave them hungry for love,

Chasing things that I could give up

I'll show them I'm willing to fight

And give them the best of my life

So we can call this our home

Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone

Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
