My Truck and some other random things

Spring break was so great I am really missing it already! I can't wait for summer. Over spring break I challenged myself to leave the computer off and it was so so so great. I can't believe how addicted I have let myself become to this darn thing and how much sweet precious time it takes up. A few minutes to quick check e-mail really adds up.
As most of you know I have been blessed in my life to have two wonderful men I call dad. My dad that lives out here owns a body shop and radiator repair business. Well over the years he has gotten quite a collection of cars and trucks. When I was 12 he brought home a 64 Chevy pick up and I was hooked. My mom had one when I was little and I thought it was the coolest thing ever so when I seen it I had to have it and I wanted it just like hers. Every year for my birthday my dad would say if you can push it up here we'll work on it. So I would and we would work on it for a while and do what we could. He would get me doors or a glove box or little things like this. Being with my dad out in his shop working with him are some of my most treasured times in my life. My dad has pulled out my truck and it is almost finished I can't believe it I had to cry for a moment the first time I seen it painted. It was unbelievable. I only wish I could've been there to work on it with him. My dad is an amazing man. I am so thankful to have had him in my life. The truck will mean more to me and does mean more to me than any words I could say in thanks. Everytime I look at the paint I will think of my dads patience and skill. When I see the body work I will see my dads mighty gentle hands running over the metal. When I see the little details I will see the spark and joy in my dads eyes as he would tell me something. Every piece of it to me is a precious memory of my dad and a reminder of the man he is. I'm so gratful he is all the dad he's been that he didn't have to be. Onto some pictures!

Wess is finally teething but still no teeth there just gettin closer. I was cooking dinner and I was making broccli. Well a broccli stalk makes a good teether. I looked over and he was sound asleep after happily chewing away for 20 minutes. Sweet boy. He's also done this with his beloved tooth brush.
