From your brother

Happy 40th Birthday!

I figured that since I am the main viewer (hopefully not the only) of this blog that it would be fitting that I take time to do a post about you. You’re the best brother and I have always looked up to you in the following ways:

•   There was no lying to you, you always knew when I took my shoes off in the bed

•   You tied flies and fly fished; two things I always wanted to do just because you did them

•   You taught me to respect insects and reptiles (insects don't bother me but I still hate snakes and lizards)

•   You coached my soccer team and told us to eat “raw meat”

•   I looked up to you so much that I asked you to baptize me just so that I could be your “first baptism” before you went on your mission

•   Dad let you fish in the cool spot in the boat (out on the front)

•   Snakes don’t scare you

•   You took me on the best backpacking trips (Top of the Y Mountain and Amethyst lake)

•   You drank water from the “teet of the earth”

•   You set the example of going on a mission

•   You let me drive my first stick (it didn’t work - I almost burned up the Z)

•   You took me shooting

•   You took “black tape” pictures

•   You took an hour out of your day to talk to me as I drove home from the U of U

•   You’re the only sibling that has come and visit us in Texas

•   You’re an amazing Dad and your kids think you can run faster than Superman

•   You have coached me through multiple difficult times of my life

I wish that I could list all of the great things about you but I don't have as good of a memory as you.  You have always been a great person to look up to.

Thanks for everything,

Happy 40th Brother
