29 Years Young 

 

 My brother turned 29 on Wednesday. I had every intention on posting this on his ACTUAL birthday...but 12-12-12 was not kind to the lady. So here I am, two days late, dedicating this post to my amazing big brother, Kyle. Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to list 29 of my favorite things about Kyle (get it...because he turned 29) I know I know...I'm SO clever. So here they are. 

1. His amazing laugh
2. His mad dance moves

3. The way he loves my mom 
4. That even when I'm infuriated with him...he still makes me laugh
5. That no matter how old we get or how far apart we live...he is my best friend. 

 
6. His love for adventure
7. His love for his puppy/son, Banjo
8. His sense of humor
9. How stubborn he is (which I also hate I will add) 
10. How protective he was of me growing up.
11.  How protective he is of me as an adult 
12. His"I love you sister"texts
13. How he is with his little old ladies. They absolutely adore him! 
14. His big smile. It's contagious I swear

15. How he says Lilly "reree"
16. How truly excited he gets when he sees his family
17. The kind of husband and daddy he will be
18. All of the wisdom he has shared with me over the years
19. The way he bends over backward to accommodate everyone
20. His loyalty to his sports teams. Don't even talk to him if you are now a Thunder fan and used to root for the Mavs
21. His love of God
22. His idea of his perfect woman (and I still have the PERFECT one for him :) 
23. How we talk to each other like we are "special" judge us if you'd like 

24. How it is nearly impossible to get a picture with his eyes actually OPEN

 

 {He has to try soooo hard}

 
25. His bravery to follow his dreams
26.  The Tabor cheeeese that he so kindly handed down to me

 27. The fact the he has been the best man in several weddings...it says so much about the kind of man and friend he is
28. The fact that he walked me down the isle ♥
29. that he challenges me...all the time 

And one for good measure...

 
30. The simple fact that he is MY big brother. I am forever blessed. 

 

 I could lie and tell you that it was difficult for me to come up with a list of  29 things...but it would be exactly that...a lie. If he was turning 100...piece of cake. 

I love you to the moon Bubby. Happy Birthday and I can't wait to see you!
