One of the Greats!

This last month has been so fun. But the biggest highlight was my dad's 80th b-day.

We had all the grandchildren ask my dad a question- which he answered in a evening of root-beer floats and cake. I learned so much about a man I've know my whole life. Fun things like what was his favorite pet (he had tears in his eyes remembering his 1st parrot). Who are his favorite Indians (the friendly kind). Why he quit Pre-Med after 2yrs at the Y. How to make a impact in the world (surround yourself with the leaders and be ready to make a change yourself)

Why he joined the Air Force-How he meet Mother-Etc. I have to say that one of the questions that my Dad answered has been weighing heavy on my mind- Ian asked What was one of the worst things that happened to you and how where you be able to pick yourself up after that disappointment and move on to success? Dads answer gave me an answer to my own prayers- he spoke about a fire that accured at his dealership in Utah- Although they had insurance he knew that this day would change the eternal nature of our family - How amazing! Seriously on one of the worst days of his life he had the faith and a witness that a loving Heavenly Father had a plan for him. He said that this knowledge has given him great comfort throught his life.

I love my Dad!
