Happy Birthday to my Dad!!


I am sure my dad will never get on here to read this, but just in the off chance that he does, I wanted to say Happy Birthday Dad!! I was always a dadd'y girl growing up. I remember going to stay with my grandparents at times during the summer and I would always get "dadsick." I did not miss home, I just missed my dad (and the rest of my family of course).
My dad loved/s us so much. I remember being younger and he would always want us near his side no matter what he was doing (now he is the same way with my kids). He is a peacemaker. If any of us ever got/get mad at someone else, he is always there to try to help us look at things from their perspective.

Another great quality my dad has is that he has a great sense of humor (kind of goofy somtimes). Growing up, he would tell us the same joke nearly ever single night at dinner just to get a reaction.

I also love his spiritual, sensitive side. He has always loved the gospel. I have always known that if I had some question about the gospel I could go to him and there was a great chance he would know the answer. He was always there and worthy to give us Father's blessings and one of my favorite qualities about him (which hopefully does not embarass him) is that I remember so many times when he cried with us when we were sad. He does not like to see those he loves suffering.

Happy Birthday Dad!! We love you so much!!!

What a great dad! I think you inherited lots of great qualities from him. I look up to him, NOT just literally. He looks great in that picture, all dressed up. Not many men can pull off pink(I'm sure many disagree)..but he did.

Your dad IS pretty awesome.

I'm doing great. How are you? Are you going to SJ for the 24th? We'll be there! Hopefully we'll see ya then.

I just love your dad and mom--and your whole family! I will be in SJ for the 24th, too! I hope you guys come--it would be fun to see everyone. Are you coming up to UT for the Brown reunion? Come stay with us if you are!

You have a talk on Sunday! Hahaha....they haven't caught me since I was 12! Somehow I'm so lucky. But when they do ask me I'm going to be so out of practice that my talk will be lame. I'm excited to go to Harry Potter too:) If you're a nerd I'm right up there with you. I saw that Megan is coming! That is exciting! I hope that I can go. I thought that I could because I thought it was this last Tuesday. Now I have to wait for the schedule for next week!!!:( But if I am scheduled to work on Tuesday I'll switch with someone.
