My job was to get my dad back home which was actually really nerve racking. He came to pick me up because I said I had to babysit at home on Saturday night, and I had to stall him for as long as possible. I took him to dinner in Bartol, told him I forgot something in my room, and tried to keep him at Simmons for as long as possible. We got to my house right on time though, so I guess I did a good job!

Once we got there it was great to see how many of our family, neighbors and friends came out to celebrate my dad. It was also really co ... more »
