[life] Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the absolute, best Daddy I know :)

He is sweet, loving, adores my mom, brother, and I, as well as both of our spouses.

He babysits our pups even though he isn't the biggest fan of the animal kingdom ;)

I inherited his quiet spirit when amongst a crowd, as well as his narrow feet, although he is a whiz at math and figuring things out, which I definitely did NOT inherit- just ask Nate ;) He has always been there to lend a helping hand for all of Nate and I's antics when it comes to home improvement!

He always gave me shoulder rides when I was little, flew me like Superman into my bedroom at night to tuck me in, and stirred my ice cream until it was silky smooth and soft... which I do, and make Nate do as well for me, to this day.

I hope you have a fabulous day, Dad, and thank you for always being around/involved/active in my life since the day I was born! I love you so so SO much!


I hope everyone out there is having a blast with the fathers in their lives: dads, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, husbands, etc. I know it can be a difficult day for some, for those who have lost their fathers or who never knew their fathers. We are a blessed people to have our eternal Father in Heaven who watches over us and knows our hearts from the inside out! God is the ultimate Father, the Father who our earthly fathers should model and reflect in our lives. Be thankful not only this day, but every day for your earthly fathers and your Heavenly Father! Thank you Lord for all of your goodness :)

Have a great week everyone!

"The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him." Proverbs 23:24

[life] Update

So sorry I have been M.I.A. over the past week! I have been busy doing this...

It has been a jam-packed, crazy 10 days but expect many updates next week on life with the Johnsons! Including, but not limited to:

My chalkboard bottles (made 'em!)
A housewarming gift for my brother/sister in law (Pinterest, thank ya!)
Our anniversary vacation (which knocks out another 30 before 30: yea!)
Father's Day

If you have been following me on Instagram (chrissydj), you have already seen many of these updates! Expect more details next week. Also, if you follow, you would have known about my Grandma who has been in the hospital. She went in last Sunday because she was feeling terrible and extremely weak. They found an irregular heart beat, some fluid built up, an infection near her gallbladder, gallstones, and some kidney irregularities. It was stressful to be away from them all (in DFW) but they told us to go onto our vacation. They performed surgery to remove her gallbladder yesterday and I am EXTREMELY happy to report that she is feeling SO much better! So thank you for your thoughts and prayers for our family. It has been greatly appreciated! God is so good!

Have a wonderful weekend/Father's Day! See (er, read?) ya next week!

"Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span? If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?" Luke 12: 24-26
