Happy Birthday Mi Amor!

August 29th 1985 Brandon Wayne Blackwell came into the world...
and it has never fully recovered!

I love to hear stories of Brandon as a kid... he was a little trouble maker and but had a sweet personality... so hasn't changed much since birth!

Cute kid, hu?

One of the things I love most about Brandon is he has such a pure heart. He has such a Christ like love for everyone and he is so accepting. He is the least judgmental person I know. He looks at the positive in everyone (except Utah fans, sorry guys) and could be any ones friend.

He has such a warm and handsome smile. It was the first thing I noticed about him. He wasn't the outgoing type, just he hang around in the back round and watch whats going on, type. But the first time I noticed him was when he was smiling. Well it was more like laughing... at me... because I was making a fool of myself, whats new?

Brandon and I had a unusual dating story because I knew right away the I was suppose to marry Brandon but the first time I realized I wanted to marry him (which wasn't long after we met too) was when I saw him with my nephews. I knew then that Brandon would be the best dad I could hope for my kids to have and the was the most important thing to me. And Since then I have realized he has exceeded my expectations!

I have honestly never had to ask him to do anything when it comes to our Irey. He is more then willing to do whatever she needs or wants. He would follow her to ends of the world, he would do anything to make her laugh, and I know he does all that he does to provide her a happy and healthy life. I love the relationship that he has with Irey. I love that it's so clear on his face that he adores her. I love (but not really) that he can't wait to have more little Irey's running around. Sorry babe, just keep on waiting!

I realize more and more every day how important he is to me. When we first met and fell in love I thought, now I know what it is really like to love someone. Then we had our baby and then I thought, no now I really know what love is. Since then more things have happened then I can list and through all those things each time I think, now I really know how much I can love someone. It's like that song goes (thanks Brad Paisley) and I thought I loved you then... It's amazing to me with each birthday I realize that I just keep loving him more and more.

Brandon is everything that I have ever said, thought, or wished for in a husband. He is that half that makes me whole and I am so glad he was born and was able to come be my knight in armor!

Happy Birthday Mi Amor!
