DAD

Today is my dear old dad's birthday (well, not so much OLD). I would like to wish him a happy birthday. My dad is as young at heart as any 20-something-year old. I have never met someone that could relate to so many different people, of any any age group or situation. He is one of the most genuine people that I know. I want to be like him in so many ways. Here are some things I love about my dad.
- He is very funny. I am told that I inherited his knack for saying inappropriate things out of context in uncomfortable situations. Luckily, unlike me, he saves most of that for family. He makes us all laugh.
- He is also very wise, and gives great advice. He is always straight-forward in his opinion, and I have always appreciated that.
- He loves his family. He would do anything for any of us.
- Hanging out with him is like hanging out with any of my friends. Like I mentioned before, he can relate to just about anyone.
- He is such a great Bumpah, and so great with kids. Reagan adores him quite possibly more than anyone else. All of the kids at church are drawn to him as well. It has been so fun to watch him play with Reagan.
- He works harder than anyone I know. Whether he's in the office or out in the yard, he puts everything into his work.
- He loves to serve.
- He has a strong, sweet, testimony, and I am grateful for his example of what it means to be a truly faithful, unwaivering member of the church.
- He is an excellent teacher. He taught seminary for many years, and now teaches various sunday school and priesthood classes at church. He can make learning fun for anyone, and his white board stick drawings are the best.
- He is one of my best friends.

Here is some proof that he is really, really cool:







And look how cute my parents were, waaaaay back in the day. (I don't think they were even dating?) But they always knew they'd get married. Awwwwwww....

Happy Birthday, Dad!
