He still says to this day that she is the best thing that has ever happened to him. My dad is not a very romantic fellow, but he will do anything for my mom. He starts her car in the morning in the winter to let it warm up, makes her breakfast everyday, and always gets her flowers. ]]> 2022-09-14 21:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297090131 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297094371 Funny story! My family has had a family house in Cholla Bay, Mexico for about 70 years now (passed down from my grandparents) and he shared all of his crazy stories. When my dad was around 8 or 9 he found an octopus under a rock he flipped and put it on his head. He ran back home and pretended he was being attacked by the octopus. ]]> 2022-09-14 21:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297094371 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297097268 My dad competes in the annual fishing derby hosted in Cholla Bay, Mexico almost every year. At the 50th annual Cholla Bay Fishing Derby, my dad won first place in the shark category! ]]> 2022-09-14 21:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297097268 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297104038 This is one of my Dad's favorite memory's. He said that him and my uncle got field passes for the football game in 2009. My dad still has this hat to this day and it is the only hat he wears. ]]> 2022-09-14 21:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297104038 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297106042 My dad still to this day has this picture as his phone lock screen! He keeps it because he went to the U of A, my sister did, my mom did, my aunts and uncles, and my Grandpa was an Agricultural professor. He loves this picture because he always says we are a, "wildcat by blood family."]]> 2022-09-14 21:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297106042 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297114805 My dad told me that his favorite high school memory was when he played his last football game. He said that he was so sad, but very excited to go on with his new life. This picture I shared is my last volleyball game (hence the teary and puffy eyes). He said that when I was sad, it reminded him of his experience and we had a long talk about how everything is going to be okay. ]]> 2022-09-14 21:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297114805 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297115663 These were the words my dad shared with me that night. He lives by them everyday. He tries not to dwell too much on the past and trust that when something ends, there is something better coming. ]]> 2022-09-14 21:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297115663 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297116967 Words my dad lives by. If there is ever another octopus that comes across his path, he will probably put it on his head again!]]> 2022-09-14 21:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297116967 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297120632 My dad mentioned he likes to go to bed early, but this was one night he stayed up past his 8pm bed time. We did not get home until around 1 am, and he had to be up at 4am the next day, but he said to always say yes when you can get new life experiences. ]]> 2022-09-14 21:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297120632 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297125249 My dad's view on love is very different than how society portrays love. He is not a very romantic person, but still loves his heart out. His ideas are not original, as he always asks for date idea from my sister and I, but his intentions are always positive. He said that love these days is so unoriginal. He likes the old school love, love without social media, love where you do not text each other, but actually go on dates and wait for them to call your landline. He said that he wished that good old love on me!]]> 2022-09-14 22:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297125249 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297126612 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhwk

This is the warmup song that my Dad and I would listen to on the way to my last volleyball game. He said that every time it comes on, he is reminded of his last game as well as being there for mine. ]]> 2022-09-14 22:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297126612 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297131002 My dad said one memory that always sticks with him is the reason behind my sister's name. He remembers wanting to name my sister Nicole very badly as that was his grandmother's name; however, it was around the time of all the O.J. Simpson trail, with his ex-wife Nicole. He remembered seeing the name Nicole, with all the negativity surrounding the name. My sister's name is now Taylor, with Nicole being her middle name. ]]> 2022-09-14 22:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297131002 scbaumgardner https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297131171 https://www.britannica.com/event/O-J-Simpson-trial]]> 2022-09-14 22:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/scbaumgardner/bw22eqhzt4ip2ocn/wish/2297131171
