Happy Birthday BRETT



Today is Brett's birthday! I am up late because I can't sleep when he works late and my angel husband is working five 12 hour shifts in a row, so why not dedicate a whole post to him, he deserves it! He is turning 24 so how about 24 reasons why I love my Brett Richard Anderson!
1- He loves to hold my hand and always kisses it like I am a princess, it still gives me butterflies
2- Hard worker and not afraid of work, he is the go to guy and the one you can always count on
3- Openly tells me when I am out of line or being just plain mean( I need that I can be a brat)
4- Loves Owen so much and is such a great daddy to him
5- Serves others so unselfishly( I substituted his 16-17 Sunday school class, they are animals)
6- Loves Missionary work and talks about the gospel effortlessly with everyone
7- Takes me on great dates
8- Cooks some great scrambled eggs ( don't laugh, this takes talent)
9- Laughs out loud and is very silly
10- Loves my family and treats them all so well, he thinks my dad is funny, so do I
11- Tells me I am beautiful (post pregnancy figure)
12- Never leaves me a car with the gas tank empty
13- His eyes and eyelashes (Owen has the same ones)
14- He is so althetic, he can play anything well after the five minute warm up
15- A wonderfully loyal friend to me and so many others. We can hardly go anywhere without running into someone he knows and he can always remember names
16- Mad Ironing skills
17- Teaches me to let things go and forgive
18- Lets me be a totally bad backseat driver without getting upset when I flip out over other drivers
19-Juggles work and school and a family so well
20-Sacrifices for others and HE NEVER COMPLAINS!!!!
21- Shows me kindness daily
22- Gives real tight loving hugs and likes to just hold me without pulling away
23- Helps me to exercise true faith and believe that things really will be ok
24- He is mine forever and upholds the covenants he has made with His Father and Heaven and honors the priesthood he holds
I am so grateful for him! I look back on our time together with such happiness, excitement, surprise and peace.I made a really long list of all the reason I love him but I just shared a few and Father's day is right around the corner. He is my bestest friend ever and I love him to pieces! hApPy BiRtHdAy BRETT!!!!!!!!!
I forgot to mention he can dance, and has convinced our nephew that all grooms brake dance at their reception

I definitely agree with the "he can dance" point. My kids have to get that from someone and unfortunately i don't think its gonna be me.

I am SO glad that you found a husband who deserves you. And it sounds like he pushes you to be even better. Good, good man. Maybe someday I'll meet him? :) Happy Birthday to you, husband of my wonderful friend whom I have never met but already love!

Happy Birthday Brett!
I sent a present to Bill's sister's little boy also "Brett". She sent a thank you -- (his birthday is in September) . Sorry yours is in route.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
