Dear Girls,

With our recent celebration of Valentines Day, I must say love is in the air.  I so adore the three of you.

For some, Valentines Day is a day to celebrate romance and love and all that gushy stuff.  For our family, it’s a chance to eat chocolate.  For others, Valentines Day is more like “Single Awareness Day.”

Valentines Day is a good time for me to bring up romance. Now, as you continue the road to womanhood, I would like to remind you there are boys out there that will certainly be interested.  I hope you all choose your boyfriends carefully.  More than that, I pray you have healthy relationships with the opposite gender and enjoy many friendships along the way. If you ever choose to have a boyfriend, like when you turn 30, your dad and I hope he treats you like a princess.

Girls, just for fun, I am posting the application that you Dad acquired years ago titled,

“An Application to Date my Daughter.”

He did not write this, but he has kept it for some reason……… not sure if he is serious…..
