I love you "Joe the Toe"

Happy Father's Day Dad!!!
I couldn't have been any luckier to get to be your little girl. I wish I could be home today and spend the day just laughing with you, but instead I'll blog about how much I love you.My favorite things about my dad....
*Everytime I ask..."Do you have to work today?"...He replies..."Does the Pope wear a funny hat?"
*He would warm my car up and clear the snow off of it in the winter.
*He made me an omelette every morning when I lived at home.
*He can name any mascot of any college team...including community colleges.
*He is really good at name that tune...He always wins.
*He would give you the shirt off his back or his last penny.
*He still holds football records at BYU...
*He is the best grandpa in the world, I can't wait for my babies to meet him.
*He will call almost everyday just to tell me he loves me...
*He loves the "animal farm" he works at
*Prays for sick animals at the clinic and even puts them on the prayer role at the temple.
*He loves David Letterman.
*He is always quoting lines from movies such as Raising Arizona and Stripes.
*He always says..."We'll get through this"..."Just say your prayers"
*He loves to buy people surprises, but always ruins the surprise by telling us early...
*I love you, I love you, I love you.
The end....By Paige Liljenquist

Geez P, talk about #1 post '07. Ditto on everything. I especially loved that you remembered how he calls the clinic the "animal farm." He is so dang funny. I can't wait for your babies to meet him either - - babies dig him!! He is the true "baby whisperer." We are so lucky...best dad in the universe.

That was my favorite post Paige. There's something about a man who loves animals and even prays for them. Your Dad is awesome, after my own, I would choose him as my Dad #2.
