From as early as I could remember, I've been a Daddy's girl. As a little girl I would sit and watch NASCAR with you and we would take naps together. Since your 50th birthday is coming up, this article is dedicated to you Daddy!

1. You'll always be my number one supporter.

This holds true on it's own. No matter what you support me in everything I do (even if I don't make the greatest of decisions at times).

2. You have great taste in music.

I like to think this is my doing, but I came from you so it's definitely all you.

3. I do, however, take credit for introducing you to All Time Low.

And I'm so thankful that you ended up liking them as much as I do.

4. I would choose you as a concert buddy over anyone any day.

And you know it.

5. I like sports because of you.

I probably would not care about certain teams as much if it weren't for you.

6. You have unique hobbies.

Fishing isn't necessarily unique, but I think it's really cool that you're into it. So I want to get into it too!

7. Your sense of humor is so crude.

And I LOVE it!

8. You teach me new things every day.

As bored as I am to figure out how to fix my own car, I can't thank you enough for this knowledge.

9. You're the master of multitasking.

So thank you for teaching me that too.

10. You're the reason I love the Jersey Shore so much.

Makes it hard for me to consider ever leaving the shore.

11. You're the ultimate chef.

Now I'm craving some of your shrimp scampi.

12. You'll never understand how thankful I am that you work around the corner.

Or, well, New Brunswick isn't necessarily around the corner from Rider, but thanks so much for working over there because it makes me feel a little less homesick when I remember you're right there.

13. Your smile is contagious.

You always know how to make people laugh and I'm honored that I'm your daughter.

Happy 50th Birthday Daddy! I love you forever and always and will ALWAYS be your girl.
