(I'm starting this post on Monday- I'm not sure I can write it when the day comes. Not that I miss him... I just haven't seen him & only talked to him twice for a few minutes in a whole almost year.)
20 - things I love about Brian
1. He is responsible- I can't believe I am writing this?- No offense Brian, but come on... remember 7th grade when you told us the morning of you needed homemade french food for your French class & really thought we could come up with something? We even tried - but found out the hard way that French toast is from Texas.
2. He can take a joke- LAst night we were reminiscing about the time Jack got mad at you & sewed "BUTT" into the back of your favorite hat with white thread. You wore it part of the day.... ha ha ha ha. I think you were pretty mad at first but then laughed it off... oh my.
3. You're strong & you run fast- I don't actually like this about you. Remember when I squirted you with a squirt bottle? you took it from me & doused me in the face. I couldn't stop laughing but I was so mad.
4. You are funny.
5. You are annoying & go too far usually when you are funny. but it's still funny. kind of. after the point.
6. You have a way with fashion. I'm not even going to elaborate on this- if you know him- you know what I mean when I say two words- denim thong- it's scary people.
7. You finally made it to school & church without crying for your mommy at 12.
8. You have hairier legs than dad- but big news... Jack could give you some competition on this now!
9. You used to help around the house a lot.
10. You are good with trent.
11. You have a lot of friends & make friends easily.
12. You have good friends & refuse to date skanky girls.
13. I miss your friends too.
14. You can speak fluent Spanish now & even translate for speakers sometimes in only 8-9 months being in Chile! Amazing
15. The girls at the MTC called you a mama's boy because you talked about me so much! Oh my heart is swelling with pride.
16. You used to leave "love" notes in your pockets- which made for great laughter around the house... after I hung them on the microwave.
17. You love serving the people in Chile & they love you too.
18. MOre importantly... you are a good missionary.
19. You follow the rules. (that was our big worry that you would goof around & not follow the rules- look at you? all grown up!)
20. You have a testimony of Christ & are willing to leave your family for two whole years, put aside college, and girls... to follow your convictions.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN

I love-love-love the birthday photo! And what an amazing comment from Chile. I bet you are so proud of your boy.
This is so great! What better tribute to you than having a "mama's boy" who loves you and talks about you? Lucky girl.
