Quarter of a century

This is going to be my super cheesy, sappy post just because I can. 

This guy ^^ turned 25 on January 21st. He HATES celebrating his birthday and didn't want to do anything big. So we had a very relaxing night sledding with our young men's and young women's and topping it off with some lemon dessert and New Girl. Quite possibly our favorite way to end a night!

As a little tribute to how amazing this guy really is, here are 25 things that I LOVE about my Grant!

1. He is by far the most positive person I have ever met in my life. Nothing seems to ever get his spirit down.

2. His work ethic is something to look up to. He works so hard for our family and it means the world to me.

3. Grant has such a fantastic sense of humor. He is known as the guy with all the random facts and purposefully making situations awkward.

4. He is so helpful! From ALWAYS doing the dishes, to helping people move, he is always there to lend a helping hand.

5. This one I owe to his parents but Grant is such a gentleman, in every way possible. The end.

6. He has such a strong testimony and desire to have a relationship with his Heavenly Father. Honestly the best example of true dedication to the gospel.

7. He is a good big brother. Grant's mom always tells me she was grateful Grant was her first son because of the example he has been to his younger brothers. He is someone to look up to and I know that his brother's definitely do.

8. He is a motivator. This may sound silly but honestly Grant motivates me to be healthy and active, to read my scriptures daily, to kneel in prayer as a couple etc. He is the one person that can push me to be better.

9. His singing voice, it is beautiful and I really wish he would sing more often.

10. He is naturally good at everything. I am definitely hoping our little boy takes after him..in everything.

11. He honestly cares about everyone. He loves everyone he meets and never speaks bad about others.

12. He puts up with me. I know it sounds cliche but really..I know I probably complain too much about being "nose goesed" or being cold but he never stops loving me.

13. He loves my family and they love him.

14. He is a FANTASTIC uncle. From day one my nieces and nephews have loved him more than they love me. I am serious here. One day I walked in to my parents house, my nephew Nathan walks up to me and says, wheres Nant?? I am clearly not good enough for them..

15. Because of him I have made some incredible friends. I love that he chose such great friends in High School and has stayed close with them all.

16. He is smart. I love that he worked hard in school and is starting his Masters soon. He is dedicated to learning and to making our life better.

17. He loves traveling just as much as I do. He gets points for this one.

18. He is fun and silly. He makes life fun even if we are sitting on the couch watching endless amounts of football.

19. He is so giving. He would much rather have everyone's needs around him be taken care of over his. 

20. This sounds weird but he was named after his Grandpa Grant, who I hear was an INCREDIBLE man. He has lived up to the name and it makes me very proud.

21. He is athletic. Not only do I find it attractive but I cannot wait for him to teach our little boy how to play sports.

22. He is so excited to be a dad and it makes me SO excited to see him become a dad!

23. He is so patient. In every situation.

24. He protects me. I have never felt scared or afraid if he is by my side. He just puts off that protectiveness and I love how safe he makes me feel.

25. He loves me. I have never doubted this guys love for me. He shows me each and everyday in his own little way.
