Daddy's Girl
Nov 9, 2009
I have a great relationship with my parents. Sure, it's not perfect, but what relationship is? If I'm upset, I know my mom will give me the tough love I need- she's great at putting things in perspective. My stepdad and I don't usually talk about serious things, but when we do, he's always willing to listen. My stepmom is great at discussing my love life, and serves a friend/parent role. My dad doesn't always know what to say, but it's clear from what he does share that he loves me and only has my best interest in mind.
Here's an excerpt from a Skype conversation I had with my father yesterday:
"I really can't do the boyfriend thing, just dumb horse jokes pictures, You really need Donna for the boyfriend stuff. Alls I know is that you are really beautiful, inside and out and any boy would be extremely lucky to have you. So, that being said, just keep doing what you are doing and life will be good."
And then he emailed me photos of my sister's horse, Tuesday. My stepmom recently rescued her (she saves a lot of animals...it's kind of her thing) from an unhealthy living situation where she was malnourished and unhappy. The photos below are from when she and the vet gave Tuesday a bath at her new home:
Look at that smile! Those teeth! Her nose hair! How can you not smile?

I'm far-klemphed.
All I could think about in looking at those pictures is "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" which apparently is a phrase because you can tell how old a horse is by its teeth.
I was totally gonna put some of Dad's Tuesday pictures on MY blog. I guess I'll have to come up with something else. GOSH!
A very talented family... BTW, love the new headliner photo, look and color!
Ooh... love the new header (or whatever you would call it). You look mahvalous in red! And always remember, we've got your back.
Love the new look of the blog!
Sometimes, even though they don't think it's the right thing to say, Dads know exactly what to say.
That's awesome that you have a great relationship with your parents! :)
Love the horse pictures! Too funny!
What your dad said is probably one of the sweetest "dad quotes" I've ever heard.
