A list of [birthday] things

1) He is an utterly adorable romantic, and I am a sucker for it.

2) He has one of those really smart, remember-everything minds.

3) He's a really great listener, even from 2,000 miles away.

4) He has a great love for learning and is well on his way to becoming a gospel scholar.

5) He is a true musician, through and through. Born with it.

6) He also likes math, apparently, and he's good at it. Same goes for soccer? (These are recent developments...)

7) He's "healthier than a horse," according to last week's family email. Hahaha, 'twas hilarious. HE's hilarious.

8) He knows the values of hard work and honesty and service and loyalty and diligence and I could continue here for a while. He's an all-around good guy.

9) He bears an incredibly eloquent testimony every week, letting us know without a doubt that he knows without a doubt.

10) He is living and breathing obedience on his mission; therefore,

he is the best missionary in the world.

Happy birthday to that one missionary, the one who is steadily becoming more and more amazing, the one with whom I am steadily falling more and more in love. 

[Insert a handshake here. Or a hug. Whatev.]

See you in a year!!
