Happy birthday Chigger!

[Glock 'em down]

My baby girl DJ (I call her Chigger) turns 26 today. I'm so proud of her. She was her high school valedictorian, she received her bachelor's degree from the University of Oklahoma and holds a Masters degree in education.

She teaches high school algebra I and II, is the "unofficial" assistant principal and spearheaded their aviation class. In 2021 she was voted teacher of the year for her school as well as her district.

This kid has accomplished more in her life at the young age of 26 than I have or ever will. She has the love and respect of her peers as well as her students. She loves her family (especially her nephews) and she will do anything for anybody. She is something else.

She obviously took after her mom!! Seriously though, smart, pretty and respected in her field! That takes a lot of work to pull off -- Congrats to her! And you and your darling bride! Y'all have every reason to be proud.

A lot to be proud of!

While her accomplishments have been great, don't forget that her parents also had an influence on those.

Good job to all three of you.

Every now and then, I'll bump into my old HS principal and he always asks about my family. I'll tell him about Chig and her accomplishments and he always asks me, "are you sure she's your daughter?"

Happy Birthday, Chigger!

Definitely impressive. No disrespect, but even more so given her school district. Small rural schools struggle to hang onto talented teachers. Highest respect for her.
