TODAY IS BENNY'S BIRTHDAY!!! YAY!!
Since we are celebrating Ben being born I thought I should celebrate a few of the things I love about Ben! (24 since he is 24)
1. Ben is very unselfish.
2. Ben is freaking cute!
3. There have been times when I don't know if I can get through something and Ben has been right there by my side helping me through.
4. Ben always helped me with my math homework. I suck at math and he is really good so I would email him my geometry problems in high school and he would help me with them.
5. Ben is such a hard worker. I really can't even understand how he can get up everyday, go to work all day, come home ,and still be in a good mood. He has worked his butt off at United and keeps getting promoted. He has made it possible for me to go to nursing school without working too much.
6. Ben will sit down and watch a chick flick with me.
7. In our old apartment we only had one TV and on Thursday nights Greys Anatomy and The Office would come on at the same time. Ben would always leave and let me watch Greys, and he would go somewhere else to watch The Office. (sounds small, but meant a lot)
8. Ben is very supportive of me.
9. Ben is sooo cute with our dogs.
10. He makes me laugh ALL the time. I love that he can be dorky with me.
11. He can remember millions of movie quotes and always say them at the perfect moment.
12. He's not afraid to dance it out with me.
13. Ben will eat just about anything so no matter how bad I screw up dinner he still says "mmmm. good."
14. Ben has great taste in music so I always get awesome songs from him. He always used to make me CDs when we were dating.
15. Ben is one of the only people I know who can make me laugh when I'm really mad. The other day I was soo furious at him and he ruined it by making me crack up. You just can't stay mad after that!!
16. He has always been quick to say sorry.
17. Ben always calls me on his way home.
18. He always makes babies/little kids laugh. I don't know if its the weird faces or what but they love Ben.
19. Ben has hard core loyalty! He never talks bad about people. Even when I'm mad at someone and I'm trying to get him to agree--he sticks up for them. (can be irritating too though. haha)
20. Everyone Ben has ever met has loved him. Ben is really hard to not like. He's a people person for sure.
21. He gets more attractive every year.
22. Ben has an amazing testimony! When he tells his story of conversion everyone is always in tears. He can be so powerful!
23. He is always so comforting when I cry. I can be pretty dramatic, and I have a tendency to cry easily but instead of Ben getting annoyed he always tries to make it better.
24. I am so excited with the idea of being with Ben forever!!

Today is ALSO my sister Nicole's birthday!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!
Let me also tell you some things about Nicole:
1. She is probably one of the most thoughtful people I know. She is always thinking about other people and doing things for them. I have even gotten a "sisters day" present from her! Who knew there was even a sisters day?? I also have piles of notes that Nicole wrote me growing up that are probably some of the sweetest notes I have ever gotten.
2. She can be friends with anyone! She is definitely one of those people that everyone likes, and she can make a friend anywhere!! This is definitely one way I wish I was more like her.
3. Nicole has always been a role model for me when it comes to faith. I can always remember Nicole being so dedicated to church and her testimony. She doesn't waver when it comes to hard choices.
4. Although Nicole and I weren't always super close as we have gotten older we have become a lot closer. Spending time with Nicole is so fun because she is hilarious, and easy to talk to. I also love my nephew Spencer SO MUCH so that creates more opportunities to see Nicole.
5. Nicole is a wonderful cook. The other night she invited Ben and I over to eat and we get excited every time! I have called Nicole so many times asking for her advice about food because I seemed to miss out on the talent she got. haha. Her Pampered Chef gig is great for her because she makes awesome food for her parties, and she is great at entertaining a crowd. She is a freaking awesome public speaker too.
