FIFTY.

"Ed Goodwin ran over the hill for his 50th birthday!"

My Dad's sisters and Mom dressed up for the big 5-0 birthday boy to cross the finish line.

My Dad finished a half marathon (that's 13.1 miles).

Wondering what all the marathon/50 talk is about? My awesome Dad finished a half marathon the day before he turned 50! FIFTY.

Some (of the oh so many) reasons why my Dad is awesomer than your Dad:
He can make me laugh about anything! Seriously.
He was at every single one of my dance competitions, piano recitals, grade school graduations, everything.
He sang beautiful songs to me & Mandy on our bedroom floor to get us to fall asleep when we were little.
He calls me in the middle of the day to say hi.
He does "TV demonstrations" with his Chop Wizard or salsa maker.
He taught me how to make a dead fish talk.
He makes me proud to be his daughter every single day.
He always finds ways to tease and play with me still - even though I'm 25.

Happy birthday, Daddy! I love you! 50 looks good on you.
