Reasons my father is awesome #1098723410987:

I got an email from him today that, among other things, basically said, After you pass the bar in July [note that he is so sure I will pass he doesn't even bother saying I will take the bar, obviously I will just pass it], let's ride up toward Alaska for the month of August, when hopefully it will be warm and dry.

I haven't had the best day, but that cheered me right up. It's not like we haven't talked about this before, but it's starting to feel real. <3

In less than a week, I will be home for Thanksgiving. It can't happen soon enough.
