Mr Ern with no beard!?!?!

What is the world coming to?!?! My Dad has not shaved his beard in 21 years! That's right folks, that smooth as a baby's butt skin you are seeing for the first time hasn't seen the sun since 1987. He had to shave it for work to take an equipment test that involves a mask. Sigh, he looks like his Dad. HOWEVER, what he doesn't look like is MY DAD!! I refuse to accept this! Where's my Daddy, I WANT MY DADDY!!! Sorry, minor panic attack. People are telling him he looks younger. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! So I am taking a poll so I can tell him. I need feedback from Meghan G, the Newcomers including Lacey C, and the Draughons including Megan B. Tell me what you think and add in what you were doing in 1987 just for a stroll down memory lane.

Just a quick update...

Seminary lasted one week. I just didn't have time everyday to prepare a good lesson. It's probably a pride thing but I just didn't feel like my lessons were good enough to be my lessons...if you see what I mean. We hope to move within the next month and I am starting Spanish classes in January. It just was not going to work out. Add on top of that the fact that the kids were hellions! Sleeping I can handle, it's early, I get it. I cannot take talking over them for an hour. There was one I had to yell at at least five times a day. My last day I caught this spawn of Satan moving the clock forward. I asked, "Are you seriously doing that?" Loser! He moved it 50 minutes ahead. What a joke, I felt like a babysitter.

On the way home from the Temple last night Sam and I are going about 30mph in between having to completely stop on a freeway because of the traffic even thought it was after 9:00pm. I say to Sam, "Do you know how many hours you will spend in California traffic before you die?" He said nothing, ignoring my dramatic complaining. LOL That's okay I just kept on going, "This place literally sucks the life out of you!"

"Babe, you're so dramatic. You should be an actress for TNT, we know drama!"
