Happy Birthday Dad!!

Dad,

To count all the things I've learned from you would take a very long time. But just to name a few:

-You taught me how to ride a bike

(and a four-wheeler, motorcycle, and jetski) 

-the meaning of giving

-how to work hard

-how to find joy in the simple things

-how to build a snowman that would scare the neighbors

-how to have fun no matter what situation I'm in

-how to love the Lord

-how to study, and find out truth for myself

-how to bowl, roller-skate, and play soccer

-how to make a mean peanut butter and raisen/honey sandwich

-how to read and enjoy books

-how to swim

-how to be a good missionary

-a love for the outdoors and this beautiful earth

I am grateful to be your daughter, and friend. Growing up with you there was never a dull moment!  You've worked so hard to keep our family safe, and provided for and we appreciate all you have done and continue to do. I can't wait for my son to meet his grandpa!! I hope you have a marvelous Birthday and know how much you are loved. :)
