Fortuosity: Daddy's Girl Edition

When I was little I was such a daddy's girl that I would part my super short hair on the side and slick it down like my dad did. It is true. So since it was my dad's birthday a couple days ago, here are some of the reasons I am grateful for my.

1.  My dad and I were the same age when we got married. So, even though I would never admit it at the time, he understood my how I felt the last few years.

2.  He enjoys Masterpiece Theater just as much as the rest of us.

3.  He could always fix anything: cars, slivers, broken toys, and
     everything else.


 4.  He is honorable and righteous.

5.  Has has a poetry voice (a certain voice that only comes out when he is reading poetry)

6.  He actually did read poetry at the dinner table and would ask us to discuss it (he got his PhD in English, if that helps you make sense of this information).

7. He has super awesome farmer hands (which now that you have seen them should make you even more impressed that he could get out slivers for us).

8. He makes homemade pizza, pasta, french bread, jams, syrups, etc and it is all  fantastic.

9.He taught me to love words and Elder Maxwell talks

10. He taught me to appreciate culture, especially Italian culture.

As you can see he is a bit of a Renascence man.
