fifty five.

that is definitely a random number and not how old my dad is today.

maybe.

happy birthday dad! i am so grateful to be your daughter!

thank you for all you teach me and for always being a stable presence in my life. 

i'm so grateful for all the experiences you have given me and the opportunities i've had because of you, namely:

going to 49 states

seeing my heart, brandon flowers

attending the one football game i went to as a byu student

jonas brothers!

driving a really nice [super fast!] car with seat warmers

surf camp!

efy [three years, baby]

because of you i:

found my love for movies and movie stars

do not hold back my love for attractive men because you indulge me in it

have great taste in music

have a deep love for my heavenly father and a testimony of his gospel

and thank you for putting up with our differences like:

me eating meat instead of being vegetarian

me drinking milk

me listening to hip hop

my incessantly long thick hair

i love you dad!

oh the times of blunt boy hair cuts and chubby cheeks...
