My Dad has made it rough for any future men in my life...

Last night I went to my parent's place for dinner. I went up there because yesterday was my mom's birthday. I would tell you her age but she may not like that so I will just say that she is still very young. :-) But it was a great birthday. I got her a very cool "Dorothy" Nutcracker (my mom is a Wizard of Oz junkie) and she loved it.

But back to why I was writing this...

My dad decided to cook Chicken Cordon Bleu, little red potatoes, and broccoli. It was fantastic! I think my dad has really made it difficult for any man to ever win my love with all the great, and romantic things he has done for my mom throughout my life and my sister's. Plus he always has done really great things for his girls (me and my sis) as well. He never forgets important days like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. And he always makes sure to make the day special. He even has done really great things on non special days. When I was younger he would take us to nice restaurants, and on great vacations. I remember on my 16Th birthday he took me to what became my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area after that night...Emile's. It is a very fancy French restaurant with the best souffles I have ever had in my entire life. But the best part of the night was just being taken somewhere special by my Daddy to celebrate a special day in both of our lives. It is the little things like this will make it hard for any future man who likes me to impress.

I know getting nice things and being taken to nice places aren't the most important thing in life and definitely not a requirement. I think what my dad did is he showed my sister and I that you need to treat a woman well, respect, love, and appreciate her and who she is as a person because that is the most important thing and that is what my dad showed me when he did nice things for my mom, my sister, and I. It wasn't what he did but the intention behind them and that is why future men in my life will have big shoes to fill.

Guess this could mean I might be single the rest of my life? But maybe that is why my dad did what he did. He wanted to make sure his little girls got the best because that is what we deserve. And of course all dad's want their little girls to be their little girls forever.
