I'm one Proud Daughter!

I wanted to give a shout-out to my amazing father who is being honored by the Boy Scouts of America as a Distinguished Citizen on Saturday night.

I've known that I was the luckiest girl in the world since I can remember. My sister Mandy and I were talking about him a few weeks ago when we realized that as kids, we thought my dad could do no wrong. Now as adults we have the priviledge of knowing it! The boyscouts have this little motto they stand by, that they work to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. I was asked by an interviewer which one of those described my dad best--truthfully, he's not one of those more than the others, nor does that list even come close to touching the type of description my father deserves.

He's not only an upstanding citizen, but he is exhibits upstanding character in everything he does.

I thank my Heavenly Father daily for giving me the opportunity to be raised by someone like my dad-- who I can honestly say is what he ought to be, does what he says he'll do (unless that's be home for dinner on time :)) and goes above and beyond what is expected. He spends countless hours at the office, at church, serving here, giving advice there, and never expects anything in return and does it with a smile and sense of humor that can't be beat.

Thank you Dad-- Thank you BSA for honoring him for being what I've always known he's been!

I LOVE YOU DAD!!!
