Today is also a special day because it happens to be my brother in law's birthday as well! Drake, here are 14 things that Derek and I appreciate about you:
1. Derek: He hasn't held any grudges against me for picking on him since he's my youngest brother. That shows maturity.
2. Erin: He is the brother-in-law that feels the most like an actual brother to me, since he's often around and hanging out when I am over at their house, we've spent more time together.
3. Derek: He's had the strength to kick bad habits, and it encourages me to kick the bad habits I have.
4. Erin: He has a good sense of humor! Often when I'm over, he and I will notice something and just laugh about it together.
5. Derek: That he enjoys hanging out with his bros.
6. Erin: He is friendly and kind to people.
7. Derek: I appreciate that he helped in our wedding as an usher and just support as a brother.
8. Erin: He loves his mom and his little sister.
9. Derek: His determination when odds are against him.
10. Erin: He's held out the longest on our promise to not drink pop for a year...I think most everyone broke it a long time ago.
11. Derek: His humility...when we've picked on him in the past (and sometimes present), he often just takes it and turns the other cheek.
12. Erin: His willingness to try new things, like soccer this year!
13. Derek: I'm thankful that he is a part of my family!
14. Erin: That he enjoys playing games. It's a lot of fun to do when I come over to wash laundry.
Happy 14th Birthday, Drake!
We love you and are thankful for you,
and pray that you have many more birthdays in the future!
