happy bday ryan

10 things i admire about my brother...
#1) you are organized. ie, do not put the date stamper thing in the spot reserved for the fax stamper thing...not a pretty scene.
#2) you only use 1 staple per packet. most people just keep on adding papers and adding staples to the packet, not ryan...he removes each staple BEFORE adding a new staple.
#3) you can write the best best-man speech ever.
#4) you do not have the procrastinating gene factor.
#5) you have patience...ie, you bought mom an ipod and a subscription to netflex IN THE SAME YEAR.
#6) you travel everywhere just to see your family and friends...from the capital of texas to the plains of indiana to the canadian shores to the pumpkin hill and everywhere in between.
#7) you never give up - you finally won at blokus and texas hold'em.
#8) you love to paint...seriously, you have painted more houses/rooms in 30 years than divinci.
#9) you are not afraid to walk into a vandalized house with curtains blowing in the breeze.
#10) you are a great brother/son/grandson/nephew/father/husband/friend to all. you touch everyones life with your support, encouragement, paint brush, computer knowledge and love.
happy birthday ryan ! 30 rocks....
