Thank you, Dad!!

My dad is amazing! Seriously I'm not just saying this because he's my dad - it's entirely true. And here are just a few of the reasons why -- he's super handy, very creative and he has helped us with our house in more ways than I can count! He would so anything for his children and he goes above and beyond in everything he does. Geoff and I are so grateful for his expertise and willingness to help us on the drop of a dime. We really are so thankful to have him helping us out.

His most recent work to our home has completely, totally, utterly, magnificently, beautifully (and all the other adjectives ending with ly) transformed our family room. You see our home is a tri-level house which means that all the bedrooms are on the top floor -- our kitchen, dining room and living room are on the middle floor -- and our family room is on the bottom floor. When we bought our home in may the bottom floor had a huge closet in the most ackward place with very ugly sliding doors. When we were arranging our furniture we realized that the perfect place for our television was right where the ugly closet was so we took off the doors and stuck our TV inside. At that time my dad said that when we had the funds and the time he would build us an entertainment center. Well, we finally had the funds :)
