For my very first blog...
I want it to be dedicated to the two most important men in my life:
Dad and Pepa.
For Fathers Day this year, my family and I celebrated cookout-style at a friend's house in our new neighborhood, The Reserve at Lake Keowee..
The Smith's grilled briskets, smoked chicken, made a delicious jalapeno salad and some chocolate brownies while we sipped on some chilled brew! It was a great night reminiscing on some old stories of home, family and friends. The piece of land the Smith's live on is absolutely breath taking. Their house sits atop a mountain with a birds eye view of Lake Keowee and 5 mountain ranges in the distance! They have a wrap around back porch that could easily fit a party of forty comfortably. On their deck, I was able to see all the activity surrounding their boat dock and endless blue sky above.
Hopefully, sometime in good weather, they'll take us out on their boat so we can catch a glimse of some gorgeous waterfalls Keowee has to offer! ;):)
Today was for sure a fantastic fathers day!
Love you Dad and Pepa :)

Growing up, I can't say I was ever a Daddy's Princess. We had a rocky relationship at first but as I got older I started understanding the ethics of it all and I got the bigger picture.
Without him, I know I would be a completely different person. I wouldn't have been involved in as many sports, I wouldn't have such an open mind, I wouldn't be going to Clemson University, and I wouldn't be such a strong willed girl. He has taught me to be honest- no matter what the circumstance. He has taught me to be strong- tune out those who don't believe in you. He has taught me to be compassionate- in everything I do.
Thanks Dad, I love you.. happy Fathers Day!
This man is possibly the sweetest person you will ever meet. He has a kind soul and a strong southern back bone! He has taught me to value family and to cherish the time we spend together.
As a kid, I remember crawling into his lap to watch golf on TV. I remember learning my colors with him. I even remember getting potty trained at his house!
Without a doubt, I have always tried to make my Pepa proud. I am honest because of him, charitable because of him, thankful because of him and full of life.
When ever I get married I want to be walked down the aisle by this man.
I love you Pepa, happy Fathers Day!
