Today I am dedicating this post to my pops.  Every girl (and boy) should be jealous of me because I truly have the greatest dad in the world, he blows your dad out of the water!  I don't know any man who can surpass him.  Words cannot begin to express the love I have for my father; however, I want to tell you some of his many qualities in no particular order.  Beware the list is kind of long-

yes, his eyes are closed but I love this picture

He loves his family and the gospel more than anything in the whole world.  He lives in a way that exemplifies Christlike attributes.  He never raises his voice to his children.  He is the most selfless and patient person I know.  He supports me in everything that I do even if it means taking off whole days of work to be there for me.  He constantly reminds me that he loves me.  He makes me feel like I'm the most important girl in the world.  He never fails to make me laugh.  He lets me watch train movies with him.  He is good about spending time with each individual daughter.  He is always there to listen whenever I need to talk.  He puts up with all of the girl drama that goes on in our house.  He is more than happy to help with homework and Church talks.  He always makes me feel safe and cared for.  He sings along in the car with me.  He loves sharing stories about his childhood and his family.  He loves Ogden, and Utah.  He always waits on the front porch and watches me drive away to make sure I get off safely when I leave to go back to Provo.  He has spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours on the tennis court helping us improve our game.  He fills up Chug (my car) with gas, and if it snows he wipes the snow off the car before I wake up in the morning.  He always finishes conversations by saying "is there anything we can do for you?"  He is always there to comfort me no matter what.  He does all the above mentioned things even when I act ungrateful for all the things that he does for me daily.  And my list could go on and on...

So today dad, this is for you.  

I am eternally grateful that I am your baby Ab.

  Happy Birthday to the greatest dad in the world.

I love you daddy.
