The BIG 5-0...for the greatest daddy-o ever!

I know this is being written the night before the big day...but considering I have finals tomorrow and I have a spare min. I am going to write this right now!!! To my wonderful, amazing, daddy-o...Considering he says he is 21 and not 50...I am going to tell you all my top 21 (because that is his age) favorite things about this cool guy (these are not in order) 1. The songs he makes up about the silly things in life 2. The calls whenever "mom is out of town" 3. His sense of humor 4. His encouragement to try new things 5. His name is pretty rockin Roderick!!!! 6. His bear hugs 7. His patience (remember the motorcycle experience?) 8. His self-lessness 9. His example 10. His work ethic 11. His smarts 12. His smart alec remarks (the girl getting frisked by the female cop at joe's?) 13. When he comes down and tells me to have a good time at school and that he loves me before he goes to BYU on sunday mornings 14. His "Poppy"-ness 15. His Christmas letters 16. All the stories 17. His ability to talk to strangers (who else would talk to people fishing and find out they served in the same mission?) 18. His love for his family 19. His love for the church 20. His respect for women (it makes it hard for any guy I date or know to compare) 21. His love for LIFE! I love you dad so much! Thank you so much for all that you have done for me in my life, I hope you have a wonderful 21st birthday! Hey next year we will be the same age- how cool is that? Have a wonderful day old man!!! I love you!
