#2 My Father Kay

My Father Kay Francis is a man of few words... but his actions speak louder than any words ever could. He is the father of 11 children (I am lucky to be the oldest). He has shown us all how to be a wonderful husband, father, uncle, hunter, and church going catholic, not by what he says, but what he does. As they say, "actions speak louder than words" and I have been hearing his actions loud and clear for 49 years! Thanks Dad. I love you very much and you are the best dad a girl could ever have!

XOXO Dawn

#1 Beautiful Mother Mary

Happy Birthday Beautiful Mother Mary! This photo is one of the earliest taken of me while my Mom and I were in the hospital in Fort Leonard Wood Missouri! I was the first born and named Dawn after my Dad's favorite time of the day!

Love Dawn

Yesterday was my 49th birthday, which is technically the first day of my 50th year! My life has been full of adventure and travel and along the way, I have met some incredible people and been inspired by some people that I've never met. I want to spend the next 365 days talking about the people that have lived my life with me, inspired me to be my best and nutured me to become the human being that I am today! I couldn't have done it without you.

XOXO Dawn
