Dad-
Here's all of the pictures I took while searching through your old memorabilia boxes, and here's what I found. You (according to yourself) had the "butt cut" all through middle school and your baby pictures were cute too! You honestly looked so much like Elise when you were a baby that I didn't recognize that it was a baby boy, not Elise. I was inspired that on your senior yearbook page, you put a bible verse instead of what everybody else did- mention their ex's, best friends, and favorite type of nacho cheese.

You are such a good dad, and I love that you always encourage me. Looking through this memorabilia was so fun and I loved seeing the look on your face as you flipped through old pictures, and old yearbooks. You even kept all of your old Sports Illustrated! Elise went crazy when she saw all of those. You're even hitting it up as you swing for that tennis ball! Wasn't it one time that you told me you played someone who went pro, or college? And you still play now (and beat mom...)! The one when you graduated is one of my favorites-your face is priceless-"I made it!!"

The picture with the "old school lipgloss-muaaah" is my favorite. Who wrote that? I think that was on your 40th birthday party! I also love the one with you as a little boy sitting by the old car because I love that car!! You should have kept it all of this time! Haha, it probably wouldn't work anymore. You were so cute! Especially on the bridge that you were laughing and the mountain was in the background. And even then you look so much like Elise! You looked so dressed up when you went to prom and the bowties look so cute on you! Mom is lucky to marry such a stylish man like you :) You dates sure had "the hair!"

Dad, I love you so much and I honestly wouldn't be able to live without you. Thanks so much for always being there for me!
