Thankful, celebrating

So many things over so many years came together to make a celebration such as this possible.  Allie has graduated from college, has an excellent job, no debt and some savings.  Wow, congrats to her.  I am so thankful for God's varied and enduring blessings of  our wonderful and stable marriage, beautiful family, continued employment, safety and health, all of which contribute to this outcome.  For years and years, Jesus has blessed countless people around us, as well as us, and uncounted good choices in the midst of His blessing have brought us and Allie to this milestone. 

One of the people who has made numerous excellent choices over the years has been Allie herself.  Throughout her academic career she has been faithful to work and study hard.  This is a celebration of her hard work and great choices. 

Another person whose hard work and great decisions we celebrate is my wife Carolyn, who home-schooled Allie and our other daughters (as well as contributed to the educations of many others).  Since we have home-schooled all the way through high school, and even assisted some in their college studies, the academic achievement of our children has become very personal for us.  Allie's / Carolyn's mother-daughter kerfuffle to the Grand Canyon / Vegas / Mojave Desert was in celebration of their shared success.  While this blog is a daddy / daughter revelry, our frolic is also a recognition of Carolyn's hard work.   

Thanks goes to our extended family and many friends who have supported, directed, encouraged, coached and trained our daughters over the years.  Love to you all. 

Our daddy / daughter adventure begins on June 28, 2014.
