Daddy

In about 6.5 hours my dad leaves on a plane for Atlanta... he's going to be taking a blacksmithing class!! The week before Thanksgiving my Dad took his first blacksmithing class and he loved it, he got to make all the tools he needed to make things once he got home from the class. Then he started looking up plans to make a gas forge and he searched out all the parts that he needed to make one. Then comes the fun part!!! We got to spend a few days up the road at a wonderful family friend's (Bob the welder!) house. He is a professional welder and he is one of the coolest people I have ever known. If you are at the wedding you will surely meet him. He helped me and my dad build the forge, he was just as excited as my dad was. After a few days we got it all built and it works! My dad has fired it up once(?) maybe more... But now he is on his way tot take another class. I want him to teach me when he gets home. I think it'd be really cool. It's something that I have never tried and I never even thought that I might like it until my dad took the class. Now I'm thinking how much fun it would be to shape something out of metal! 

On another note... if you have seen Arrested Development you will know what I'm talking about. I feel like I need to carry around a tape recorder like Tobais in the fact that I should be carrying around a tape recorder with me so I don't forget all the funny things that Darin and I say.. Oh it's super fun!

Loves!
