Happy Birthday Brooke!!!

So I know it's a day late but, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE! Brooke turned 27 yesterday and didn't really get much of a b-day. That's partially my fault, I have been working a ton lately. Anyway, I just want you to know how much I love you and what a wonderful wife and incredible mom you are.

Somehow you manage to keep us all in line and still have time to be everyones go to friend for everything. You are so talented in everything you put your mind to. I love that about you. You have, since we moved a month ago, read the last Harry Potter book and all four Twilight, Vampire, whatever books and still have found time to get both kids registered for school, keep the house clean, do all the laundry etc... and most of those nights that was only on a few hours of sleep because Edward kept you up all hours!!! WOW you are amazing.

I remember when we first met in college eight years ago almost to the day. The ward water skiing party was canceled due to weather:(, Mike and I were devastated to say the least, but instead we met. I'd say it was a good trade. We were playing flys up in the Willowbrook apartments parking lot with all the guys and you came over and wanted to play. I was totally flirting with you, and thought you were so hot! It's been the best eight years of my life ever since.

I love what a good friend you are to everyone. It doesn't matter if you have a full schedule planned, you will always drop everything to help someone fix their blog, you all know who you are:), or listen to someone's problems or just be there to talk. That to me is one of your best qualities. I love how you are the go to girl in both sides of our family. If you ever need to know anything Brooke usually has all the facts.

Oaklyn, Connelly, and Londyn have the best mom in the whole world. You are so good with them and it makes me so happy that you want to stay home with them and be that role in their lives.(I kind of secretly miss it).

The fact that you have been able to do all that and more, and still have the energy and will to have finished your Masters degree is something that not too many people will ever experience. I know that it wasn't easy and at times I couldn't fully understand your frustration. Know in the long run you will look back and be so glad you accomplished something so awesome.

So Happy Birthday Brooke, I guess I will let you do what I do, and stretch it out to be a birthday week. I love you so much and couldn't even imagine life without you. You're the best, love Dan.
