Hey Dad, Thank You

For all the time you held my hand and then watch me grow.

Today marks the day I turn 19. 19 years since I sat on top of my dad's shoulders thinking it was the highest place in the world. 19 years of having one of my biggest supporters walking with step by step, when I feel and when I was flying.

Up until recently I would visit my dad on weekends but then I made the decision to live with him full time. I've loved every single minute of it. Lately my dad has been my rock and for that, I can never find the right words to say thank you.

My 19th birthday is a pretty weird and exciting time but I think this one is so special because I'm surround by such amazing people but I'm really looking forward to having a super fun dinner with my dad and step mom.

And even the moment I left for college, my dad was there all the time telling me I'll be okay, letting me know that I was going to have so much fun and soar the minute I started my semester; and he was right. I've loved every minute despite some bumps in the road.

Lately I've been thinking a lot and of course I always called my dad for help. He gives me the best advice that not only has a father quality but also as a person who I can to anything for. I think this year, the best birthday present I got was the relationship I've built with my dad. So dad, thank you for the best birthday gift, I love you.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
