25 things I love about you
happy birthday!
i love that you like things ordered in straight lines. i love how you share interesting stories from your morning internet browsing. i love that you relentlessly follow instructions and recipes to the letter. i love that you would do anything to make or keep me happy. i love that you have the biggest and softest heart i’ve ever seen when it comes to dogs. i love that you will make a great dad someday. i love that you are a terrific cook. i love that you like the elliptical machine at the gym. i love how you’re crazy about my brother and sister. i love that you repeatedly offer some of your Milk Duds even though you know i don’t like them and will never say “yes.” i love that you still can’t figure out why i set my alarm for 4:45 AM instead of plain ol’ 5. i love how you hate that Maddy’s on a diet because it means you can’t spoil her as much. i love that you don’t like sleeping with your back to me. i love that you think you’re average at everything, but really want to be the best at something. i love it when your hair is messy. i love the way you rest your hand on my knee when you’re driving. i love the way your freckles come out in the sun. i love that you get excited when i tell you about my day at work. i love it when you decide what we’re having for dinner. i love going to the movie theatres with you. i love your laugh, the one that spills out before you really realize what’s happening. i love eating donut holes with you. i love how much stronger you make me. i love how thoroughly you believe in me. i love you more with every passing day.
i love that the previous run-on paragraph is an easy 25 things i could come up with in 2 minutes of brainstorming and represents only the tiniest drop in an ocean of reasons why i love you.
i love that i don’t run out of things to love in you.

Aw!
“i love the way you rest your hand on my knee when you’re driving.” is very true… I too also love it, although obviously not from Brandon, though I’m sure he has made hand-on-knee-whilst driving skills
The photo montage is lovely too… if only they were bigger :) I think Brandon might be younger than me… scary when did I grow up?!

So happy to wish him a Happy Birthday. He really is amazing- I’m so glad to have him as a brother-in-law. That means he’ll be in MY life forever too! Happy Birthday Brandon :)

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I am not sure that I bring her as much joy as she portrays on here. We have our problems too and they usually are a result of something that I do being the stupid male in the relationship. None the less, I love her with all my heart and will continue to as long as I live. Not to mention her family is awesome and I love being around them. We need to get through school so we can travel up there a bit more.

Well that was super sweet! I guess being of facebook means I miss the birthday reminders, but at least I can still take in the sappy-ness in all it’s splendour. Happy Birthday Brandon!
