Today's blog thought is really just a tribute to my awesome brother Dan. It was his birthday this month, so I have been thinking a lot about him..
I have a fantastic family - 2 great parents.. 2 great brothers.. I really could not ask for more. I don't want this blog post to in any way diminish the coolness of the rest of my family - because they really are the best! But today I am just going to focus on Dan :)
And, in honor of his 25th birthday I am going to tell you 25 great things about my oldest little brother:
1. He has the biggest heart of anyone I know.
2. He is always willing to laugh with you or cry with you any time.
3. He has great taste in girls - his wife Sara is awesome.
4. He is super funny.
5. He is strong - both physically and spiritually - he is such a good example to me..
6. He is smart.. much smarter than he gives himself credit for.
7. He spent 2 years in Hawaii and throws really fabulous Luau's.
8. He actually gave up a long awaited trip to see all of his friends in Hawaii in order to spend 4 days driving across the country + 4 more days moving stuff and picking out furniture just to help Kenneth and I when we moved to Boston.
9. He text messages me more than anyone I know.
10. He is really good at keeping in touch, even though K and I live so far away.

15. He also introduced me to Guitar Hero and WII Olympics - ok, I probably would have found them on my own.. but I am still grateful.
16. He was my personal trainer for a whole year and he didn't even charge me. He even bought be a pink nalgene water bottle with a flower on it. I totally miss going to the gym with him.

18. He makes delicious sandwiches.

Well, if he owns a white velour warmup suit, that is certainly a bonus!! Dan is such a great guy. I know Steven really enjoys his friendship. I remember when my grandpa was dying, Dan would send my mom scriptures and call her just to check on her. How cute is that??
How fun. WE miss you guys.
