50 Years

Today is my dad's 50th birthday. I'm bummed I couldn't be with him to celebrate the day, so here is my tribute to my dad....I have learned a lot from my dad's 50 years. He has taught me a love for learning, history, travel, and the outdoors. He has taught me the importance of family. My dad taught me truth. He bore his testimony and lived the gospel. My dad was a great example of service, good neighbor, loyal friend, and dedicated father. Nobody could have been a better father for me!

I heard about your dad's party that your mom planned! Sounded like fun. I think him and Brandon look so much alike!
