Welcome to this weeks edition of family Friday’s (last Friday I sluffed). This week I would like all of you to meet my Dad, Neal!
My Dad is an amazing person who has inspired me in a million ways. The best word to describe my Dad is driven. He puts 150% into everything he does. For the past 25 years my Dad has been living his dream, being an educator.
He spends his days at EmeryHigh school, coaching golf, teaching drama, coaching speech, being the student council ad visor, teaching AP history, everything you can think of! He spends his nights teaching for the college of Eastern Utah, serving as the Mayor of Castle Dale, holding play practice, serving in his church calling, and taking care of his new pet goat! My Dad is also downright funny! He loves telling jokes and making people laugh.
I remember taking amazing family vacations and my Dad always made the trips a blast. We went to California, Seattle, Vegas, the Oregon coast, and many other crazy adventures. Some of my favorite memories are taking hikes with my Dad on the desert. We would discuss the gospel, politics, and just enjoy getting to know each other. It would take me years to tell you all the amazing things my Dad has accomplished. Most of all my Dad has always been an example to me of how to “make it happen.” He has taught me that people are more important than things, that the gospel is true and brings the greatest joy possible, that the best way to clear your head is a trip to the desert, and that family comes first! He loves helping others and has inspired thousands of students over the years. Dad I love you!
That first picture brings lots of laughs. That was my first Castle Dale Days kid's rodeo. You talked me in to going. Now I advertise and tell everyone to go! Neal sure does keep busy doesn't he. All of that and putting up with 4 crazy (said as a compliment with love) daughters and a son.
