Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday to one of the most influential people in my life. A man I love and admire and who is simply irreplaceable. Someone who has truly taught me firsthand the meaning of love, honesty, trust, hard work, dedication, intelligence, discipline, honor, friendship and wisdom. What a lucky girl I am to have this wonderful man be my father. It is one of the greatest blessings in my life.

Happy Birthday Dad from all of us. WE LOVE YOU!!

Great picture of you and your daddy Cheryl! You are beautiful. Also, what sweet things to be able to say about your father. What a blessing!

I love the special relationship I know you have with your dad. I love that I can always be my daddy's little girl.

I loved your special story about the baby bird. My heart was so touched -- by the reality of the story and how it relates to our own lives. I'm so glad you took the time out of a busy day to experience that and let your kids experience it too.

And, congrats on 11 years!!! I still remember the weekend vividly! All of your pictures are lovely. You were (and are) a beautiful bride!

I've been too busy for blogging for a few days, and it has been fun to catch up on your posts.

I was crying as I read about the baby bird. It really just broke my heart.

Laughing about the baseball game confessional in the office. Kids...gotta love their honesy.

It was so great to see all the wedding photos. You look beautiful. Happy Anniversary!

Counting down the days!

hi--
thanks for your nice comment today.. we were really excited to see Matt Lauer was in Holland also.. we were all watching t.v. getting ready for school/work.. jeff tivo'd it so he can watch it tonight-
i don't think it was the easiest place to serve a mission.. when they announced the temple there jeff joked that he thought the country would have been burned before they got a temple there.
have you seen the best 2 years? jeff said it's pretty accurate! we keep saying we are going to visit there but not yet- it's in the works for next year though.
thanks again for driving up friday- it was so nice to see you again!

Your dad is great, Cheryl - we couldn't have asked for better neighbors! I'll make sure to wish him happy birthday when I see him monday. ;-)

Wow Cheryl, you are quite the blogger. It seems like it has only been a couple of days and I had to catch up on so much! Congrats on the wedding anniversary. you got married a few months before me, I remember going to your reception at the Springville Art center.

I also can't believe how long your hair is. I am in the process of gorwing and it is taking forever. I will probably cut it all off-- I am impatient.
