Happy Birthday!!!!





For those who don't know, Brittany is now 25 today! We'll see how long it takes her to see this post. I don't really show or express my love for my wife publicly too often but I figured this would be a good place. Here's just a few reasons why I love her sooo much.

I love her because....

-She is older than me.....hahaha, she's a cougar
-She lets me go snowboarding at 10:30 at night, only to return after midnight and she's a good sport about it.
-She can have such a little attitude with me sometimes, its classic.
-She is the most responsible person ever ever ever. Which I tend to not be.
-She supports me in all that I do.
-She always finds the good in others and looks past the negative.
-She is shy around those she does not know, and its hilarious.
-She is so humble, and keeps my feet on the ground. She knows how to put me in check.
-She can be so stubborn, and as annoying as it is sometimes, I secretly think its hot but don't tell her.
-I think she likes cleaning.
-She is one of the hardest workers I have ever met. She is so passionate about Nordstrom (don't call it nordstroms around her, she'll bite your head off), and when she gets around other Nordy girls, she won't stop talking about it. I think she wants to be buried there. I love the passion she has.
-She is so caring and compassionate.
-She knows every single word to Salt n Pepa's song "Shoop."
-She told everyone she was going to "play" me before I played her, because she was told that I was a "player." It ended up taking us almost a month to kiss.
-She was the first girl that I was intimidated to ask for her number, so the dork that I was, I got it from a mutual friend, I am so smooth.
-She does the BEST and most amazing robot ever. Seriously, I am going to video it one day and post it for all to see. You will all be impressed.
-Along with the robot, she is an amazing car dancer. I enjoy our drives listening to the good ole 80s songs and watching her car dance, if you could call it dancing. It reminds me of that kid in your eighth grade class, that killed it at math, wore those sweet goggle glasses during PE, and weighed maybe 75lbs, dancing in the corner by himself at the school dances. Its pretty comical.
-She has a strong testimony, even though she would rather die, than get up to the pulpit. I love nudging her during fast Sundays just to see the reaction I get from her.
-She has such a strong sense of faith in the gospel.
-She has a beautiful smile.
-She is really tough, surprisingly. That doesn't mean she isn't a girly girl, but I think she is one of the toughest girls I know, she just likes to whine sometimes.
-She is one of the most loyal persons you will ever meet. She gets pretty gnarly when someone says anything bad about those she cares about. Its intense sometimes.
-She is a control freak and a perfectionist, which can be a really good or bad thing sometimes. She will never ask for help, because she is afraid that something will not get done right.
-She makes me laugh real;y hard, especially when she gets mad at me. I will start laughing so she gets more angry, which makes me laugh harder. Its a vicious cycle.
-She has the softest most amazing lips, I lover her kisses.
-She is awesome at laundry, shes got sweet laundry skills.
-She is the only person that has feet that don't freak or gross me out.
-Our hand lines/wrinkles are almost identical, hers are smaller proportion. It makes us wonder if our kids will have the same hands.
-Last, She is my bestest friend in the world. She knows all my secrets.
I love you sooo much Brit. Thank you sooo much for all that you do. I am such a lucky guy to have such a beautiful wife like you. You are amazing. Happy Birthday!
p.s. please don't kill me for the pics, I love them.

Cute post Clay. Brittany seems to be amazing. She probably almost died when she read what you wrote about her. What a good husband. I agree with Jill, after the first handshake, I request a robot... maybe a sample?
