25

Today Brian turned 25! In honor of his 25th birthday, I am going to tell you 25 things you may or may not know about Brian.

1. Brian loves socks.

2. Brian loves all foods, making cooking all the more fun because he’ll eat it. In my family he is known as the vacuum. You can always hear my dad say at dinner, “Brian will finish it!”
Food has two ratings only: Good or better.

3. Brian is a professional rock skipper. Seriously.

4. Brian likes to dress up and look sharp. (And boy oh boy does he look so ridiculously handsome!)

5. One of the things that really made me fall in love with Brian was how he has an incredible gift to make people feel special. I love to hear him tell my mom how great she looks or tell random strangers that they are beautiful. The best pair is just how sincere he is when he says it. He is very genuine.

6. When I got married, I was told that I would find out that men are quite sloppy to live with, but not Brian. He is very neat and orderly.

7. Brian is one of the most disciplined people I have ever met. He is wonderful at managing his time and making sure he has balanced school and time with me.

8. Brian likes the main dish more than dessert (where I am quite the opposite!)

9. Brian plays the piano though he pretends he can’t. He also played the trombone for a few years. And now for his birthday he got a guitar.

10. Brian claims our first "expense" when we get out of medical school will be a boat. He would live on a boat for the rest of his life if possible.

11. Brian has a great sense of humor. He's hilarious in fact. I wouldn't have marry him if he wasn't.

12. Brian can talk and laugh like SpongeBob.

13. Brian is an addictive reader. He starts a book and his eyes stay glued until the last page.

14. Brian loves mountain biking and tennis.

15. Brian dislikes scary or jumpy movies. When we watch them together I usually end up holding him.

16. Though-Brian's favorite movie is Inception. Give him the time to tell you why and he’ll go off about how it’s the best movie ever made.

17. Brian has a contagious smile and laugh. His eyes have the best smile wrinkles I have ever seen. Whenever he gets sunburned it looks like his eyes have a sun around them because the wrinkles never burn because he's always smiling!

18. He’s a funny storyteller. He gets so animated I can never make it through without bursting out laughing.

19. Brian lived in South Africa for two years and you can bet he's taking me there someday.

20. Brian has incredible dance movies. That is actually when I knew I wanted to get married to him (I'm not kidding!) I watched him dancing with some other girls and instantly knew.

21. Brian is great with his hands. Anything and everything he wants to learn to do, make, or fix.

22. Brian has a strong love of the gospel and of our Savior. It's through being touched by his testimony that I have really found mine. He is a light and such an example! 

23.  The Swedish Chef and Pee Wee Herman are a few of Brian’s favorite characters to impersonate.

24. Brian is a champion pogo stick rider.

25. I'm sure this one is a no-brainer, but I am absolutely head over heels and madly in love with this boy! I'm so glad he's mine and that I've got forever with him!

Birthday boy! (don't mind my feet!)
