Thanks Dad
When I was growing up my dad was one of my main "polishers." He taught me how to be kind and polite at parties or when talking to strangers, how to shake hands like a real person and not a fish and how to sell myself (in a good way) during an interview. He would even write my talks for me when I had to speak in church or primary, before I was smart enough to write them myself. With a little practice and some coaching from my mom, I delivered them in a surprisingly convincing manner. Well, today is no different. I had a meeting at work and needed to get some information put together in a pleasing manner. I sent it to my dad and he made an Excel document for me with formulas that actually worked! My Excel doc's are always a little more on the primitive side. Anyways, my boss was very impressed with "my" work. It made me think of how thankful I was for an extremely intelligent dad who is always there to help me. He is the best example of service that I have ever known. In short, thanks, Dad- you're the best!

we are the luckiest kids ever!! i don't know what i would do without dad to get me through the good and the bad!! he's never been more than a call away, and HE ALWAYS COMES!! And just so you know, i'm dad's favorite,oh,no,wait...that's hazer. Your mom's, so i guess that leaves me nano?
Dad's are great and I think you have a pretty good one too. He's a great guy to be around, tell him I say hi :)
Hey, yes, I know, LDS is great. They have been really good so far, so we are pretty relieve about that. Hopefully it all works out. I dont know why this had to happen now. Last month we had insurance for him, and in August we will have it through school, but nope, it had to happen right inbetween. The whole time he was in school, we paid for insurance, and he never even had to use it, so it is just funny for me to think about. Maybe one day we will know why it had to happen this way!! Thanks for the comment!!
That is sweet. He does sound like a smart guy. I'm glad your presentation went well--those always make me nervous and I'd rather someone else do it!
