My Dad Rocks!

So, for the past 5 years of my life I have gone to the US Open over Labor Day weekend. I live for it. We decided to go one year, fell in love, and the rest is history. Then my brother came home from his mission, we dragged him along, and now he is an Andy fan for life. I get excited all year long to go. This year we decided, we would just be moving home, we were going to Lake Powell, and life would just be too crazy to go. Every time commercials came on, we all sighed, wondering how we would survive. Trevor even said the other day, "it feels so wrong to not be going, its a part of us." Ditto. So I recently got hired at Nordstrom, which I am very excited about. My family was planning on going up to the mountains for the weekend and I was sure I wouldn't be able to go because of work because they were short staffed and needed someone to start ASAP. I was talking to my dad on facebook, how weird, and he asked if I could start after Labor Day because it would be fun to all six be together before little Elizabeth joins us all. I was so stressed because I was sure there was no way and I would have to start next week and my manager would already think I was a slacker. I told my dad I didn't believe him and there had to be something more to it. He just told me to ask for it off. I was even more stressed. I was like DAD JUST TELL ME, YOU ARE STRESSING ME OUT. and he said well thats your decision to be stressed. He then tells me to go to bed and call him in the morning and he will explain. I automatically say "Dad are we going to the US open?" and he says "No way, this last minute? you're out of your mind". It was worth a shot right? Then he calls and asks for my mom and she says "wow that sounds like fun". I finally got so mad and told my mom to tell me what the heck was going on. She didnt budge. Then my dad calls and finally has to tell me whats going on and says "if you can get work off we are going to the US Open" I freaked out and called my manager right away to give her some sob story about how I needed to go on this vacation but before I could dig my own grave she says "training will start the 14th"! I run inside and yell DAD BOOK THE TICKETS. he then says I have to stay home and watch maddie while the other 5 go because it took me so long to figure it out. Funny! We are all sooooo excited and I can't wait to go. My dad is so thoughtful and i am so lucky to have him as a dad!! THANKS DAD!!
