Happy Birthday Brooke!

Happy Birthday to Brooke! I know this is my first post in who knows how long... but I couldn't pass up the chance to tell everyone what a wonderful, amazing, talented, beautiful, smart wife I have. For those of you who don't know, six years ago today, I forgot her birthday. She was 9 months pregnant with Oaklyn, and it was the week before school started. That year I was in Student Gov. at SUU and Brooke was on Pres. Ambassadors. We both had separate retreats the whole week and had hardly seen each other. Well on that day, I got up early and left, and it didn't even cross my mind that it was her birthday. In fact we ran into each other in the Student Center and talked a few minutes and I said nothing. Brooke says this is when she knew I had forgotten. So later that day, Liz went out and bought a Happy Birthday banner and balloons and decorated our apartment. When Jordon and I got home, this is the best part, I walked through the door and said, "who's birthday is it". I know, I know... and she was 9 months prego! Anyway, needless to say she forgave me and every year without a doubt, at least 5 people remind me the day before not to forget her b-day. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thanks for being my best friend and being the best mom in the world. I look up to you in so many ways you will never know. Marrying you was the best decision I have and will ever make in my life. I don't think you ever give yourself enough credit on how talented you are and realize how many people turn to you for everything. That says a lot in itself. You are such a good mom to our kids, and they love you so much. Sometimes I wonder how you do it all? I hope you have a great day because you deserve it! Love you, Dan.
