Happy Father's Day, Dad!

Happy Father's Day to the best dad in the world! While my dad has given many wonderful memories over the years, here are my favorites:
3. Spending a week in Virginia watching me compete at the gymnastics J.O Nationals. We had such a great time crossing 16 lanes of highways to get to the Pizza Hut and KFC buffets. We had an absolute blast riding all the roller coasters at Busch Gardens-- my dad is trully my equal when it comes to thrill rides!


2. Spending a couple days road-tripping from MN to Seattle, WA. The father-daughter time on the road was really special. We had a great time exploring the badlands, Mt. Rushmore, and the Seattle area. I'm glad that I was able to enjoy this trip with my dad!

While the #1 item isn't really one specific moment I remember most, it's really a gift my father has given me every year of my life and encompasses far more than one day:

1. The times my dad spent with me teaching me to write Basic (when I was 6!), working calculus problems with me, and pointing out the physics in everyday life. I truly believe it was his constant effort as a father in these areas that helped me become the "rocket scientist" I am today!

    Thank you Beth! "There are 2 things I know for sure - she was sent here from Heaven, and she's daddy's little girl..."

    I am the luckiest dad in the world to have you as a daughter. Those are but a few of the great memories we share. And I know that each year, we'll add more to them.

    Love, dad.
