dads and daughters

I recently stumbled across this commercial again...

For the specific reason of protecting my dad's privacy and/or ego, I won't go into great detail about why this resonates so deeply in my heart. However, I am still baffled at the fact that this guy
is (or was circa 1992) able to do this so well.Like I said, I won't give specifics as to why that commercial is so special and brings back such fond memories to me. I guess y'all will just have to assume that it's simply because it's cute and because it reminds me that my Daddy and I have a really special relationship.

I've received several complaints from various people about my lack of blogging. I'll keep telling myself it's because I'm such an eloquent writer with astoundingly interesting things to tell all my faithful readers.

Labor Day Weekend, BJ's parents came to visit. Oddly enough we took them to the zoo. Even more odd was that it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E (like to-tally)! [that's a little cheer we did in elementary school] But seriously, it was a very cool zoo...they built it into Cheyenne Mountain and had tons of animals, not like just 2-3 of each kind. I never remember to take a camera, luckily Rita brought hers...but it would seem that she forgot to actually use it!

The Tuesday after Labor Day, BJ started his new job. [cough, sputter, choke] Sorry, I can't even type that with a straight face. I guess his new place of employment has never had a new hire before?? I dunno...maybe they just didn't think he'd actually need a laptop to work?? He's all up and running now (aside from the fact that his boss is on vacation this week).

Last weekend was a quick trip to Amarillo. Most of our trip was spent running around like crazy, trying to see all the people we love and miss. It's always nice to be there...but I'm looking forward to a trip down there when we have a little more time.

THIS, this lack of excitement and photos and detail is why I haven't blogged in such a long time! I need more stimulation and reminders to get the camera out for even the most mundane events in our lives! I need more people to come visit us...we'll take ya to the zoo [wink, wink]!
