Happy Birthday Dad!

Some of the Things My Dad Taught Me:
(in no particular order)

Money doesn’t grow on trees
The harder you work for something the more you appreciate it
Never waste money
Early to bed, early to rise
Live simply
An old out dated cell phone is good enough
Learn to do things yourself, but don’t be afraid to call in the experts
Appreciate music
You don’t have to be the best singer to sing out loud
Eat right and exercise
Love your family
Not everything in life can always be fun
Wipe out the bathroom sink every morning
Attend the temple regularly
Take care of your car/ Maintenance
Fill up the car with gas way before the needle is close to empty
Enjoy each day- life really does fly by
A little Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy is a good way to unwind
Study your scriptures daily and have FHE
Set goals
Work hard
Marry wisely
Love your spouse
Keep a nice yard
Fulfill your callings and responsibilities
Love your family


Thank you for your amazing example, Dad!  There is no way to adequately put into words the love and respect I have for you.  I am lucky to be one of your daughters.  ~Happy Birthday~
