Ryan John

Today is your birthday, which makes this day way better then any holiday through the year. I feel as if this blog to you should be full of office jokes, or awkward comments that are not related to each other. Though because I have spent most of my international, or your international calls doing so, I think I will take this time to tell you how great I truly know you are. FIRST I need to start off saying the word you use in most everyday life " HOORAY" my new favorite word now. I like how you try to use this word in most cases... like example: How was your day? answer: It was pretty good, I got paid... HOORAY!!! hahaha Thanks for bringing back the worlds best explanation of everything! hooooorayyyyy

I was just thinking before I started this how I could put into words how I genuinely love the way you are. I thought first, you are sorta like a super hero. You know. Those super heros, you know are there, but you never really see them. Even when you don't see them, you know they are out doing good. They hardly mess up when saving people from monsters, and always are hard on themselves. You know in the shows at the end they are all, " I should have done this ... I should have saved another life." In the first case, that is true I know you are always there for me, but I hardly ever see you ( considering I keep leaving the country). Even though I don't see you often, I always know you are out doing something great, being who you are, loving people that most of us would hate. ha. You are someone that tries their best to help everyone, an any situation. I love that about you, you are a middle ground man. I could ask you anything, and you'd have the perfect words to say, that make sense, but doesn't hurt either side of the story. Though as you are always there for everyone, and quick to help, you can sometimes be hard on yourself. I find this part so funny, that the one person that does good, doesn't even see how inspiring and amazing they really are. I guess in a way its a picture of your humility, and kind heart. Though when God looks at you, no matter how many lives you have saved that day, or if you stopped all the villains or missed a few...God has always seen you as a success.

When God looks at you, he actually sees a better man of God then I could describe. Not because you are perfect, but because He is, and He lives inside of you. When you were born, God looked at you and knew that your life was going to be a testimony for Him, and he already saw you as a success! See on the other hand, I didn't realize any of this tell I was old enough to realize how great you really are. I wish when i was 4 I could have told you, because it is true.

I love these faces you make, that Jessica say's I make too when you are telling a story that is important, or you want someone to listen. Or if you are trying to share something personal about something. Its the kindest face. Its like "hey lets be friends.."ha I laugh when I think about how nice you really are. I think you may be the nicest person I know, second would be Rachelle. Which works great cause you guys are hitching the way wagon soon. ha. The two nicest people in the whole world are getting married...AWESOME!

Thanks for always being yourself Ryan, and being so much fun. I laugh harder with you, then anyone. You get the way I am, and you bring out a side in me that no one else can. I love that you are so goofy, and outgoing, and don't think twice about. When I am with you, it lets me be me, and joke about things that aren't funny, but to us are hilarious. I love all of our jokes that I can't ever remember. Like stomach parties and that one time we were looking in the gutter, and trying to find our "little" friend in the video store. I can still laugh so hard thinking about it. Ryan you mean so much to me, and I love the way you are...so much.

I wish I could be with you and eat cake, and pop all the birthday balloons. Instead I wrote you this awesome blog. and I really hope you like it, and I really hope it makes your birthday really fantastic. I really hope that we can dance crazy at your wedding...and do our poker face dance? yes!!! SWEET!

I love you more then I can write, or explain. HERE IS A BIG HUG and lots of love!

You are better then Tom Cruz!

Sincerely your little sister,

Laura
