Happy Birthday & Happy Turkey Day!

So, today is Thanksgiving...but more importantly it's also my dad's birthday. I won't be telling you how old he is, but I will be telling you all the things that I love about Keith.

1. He is the best person to watch TV with. He can even make shows you don't really like entertaining. Take for example, football or any other sport, that I would usually hate watching...when you watch it with Keith you never know when he is going to yell at the top of his lungs in excitment or in anger. Also he takes the time to explain what is going on if I have no idea. Also, he is the best channel changer around. he remembers what you were watching and exactly when the commercial will be over so you can change back.

2. He is the best story teller. He has awesome delivery, and whatever he is telling you about will most likely make you laugh. Also, whenever I tell him a story that is supposed to be funny, he always gets my sense of humor, which means a lot to me since I think he is pretty dang funny.

3. He will talk to me on the phone for very long periods of time, even though he doesn't really like talking on the phone. I call him all the time when I am driving to or from somewhere, and we chat until I get home or longer. Almost every time I call he asks me..."are you driving somewhere right now?"

4. He always gives level headed and calm advice, even when I may be freaking out. After the advice giving bit...it usually turns into a laugh...which is good for me cause then i don't take myself so seriously.

5. He is good at everything he does....or at least he is good at faking it on the things he isn't that good at. I just know that whatever I ask him to help me with he knows how to do it.

6. He always makes me feel good about myself, he makes me feel like I am funny (like I have a good sense of humor), and like he is proud of me and the choices I made in my life.

7. He is the best dad ever! He is always there for me and my family, he is a great example, a friend, and a loving father.

I LOVE YOU DAD! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR ME...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and now for a little (it's not really that little, I couldn't narrow the pictures down) picture tribute to my dad...

Too cute!!! I am extremely late, but your post made me cry so I had to comment. What a handsome guy! All your descriptions reminded me of my dad. They must have the same genes or something!
