Brett turns 30!



I snapped a few pictures at the beginning of the party and then forgot to take any more! Ahhh!

I decided to plan a surprise party for Brett this year. He doesn't generally like surprises but I knew he wouldn't want me to plan a party if he knew about it. We met up with about 18 family and friends at a local restaurant. Brett figured it out when we walked into the restaurant because the hostess pointed to our large group when I told her that I had reservations. Brett really enjoyed seeing some family, church friends and school friends over a giant burger and no kids!
So, in honor of the birthday boy, here are 30 fun facts you may or may not have known about Brett:

1. He can be quite the romantic and has been known to plan amazing anniversary/valentine's day celebrations.
2. He got a 4.0 his first semester in anesthesia school.
3. Family and patients went out of their way to tell the hospital what an amazing nurse he was in the ICU.
4. He has lived in 5 states.
5. He served a 2 year church mission in Independence, MO
6. He enjoys ironing and wearing button-up shirts.
7. He thinks the only down side to working in health care is wearing scrubs (crazy! I know!)
8. He enjoys baking, but not cooking very much.
9. He does as much or more of the vacuuming and laundry as I do.
10. He can fall asleep anywhere and sleep anytime.
11. He is kinda grumpy when he wakes up (Parker inherited this).
12. He enjoys watching and playing almost every sport.
13. He can easily admit when he is wrong and laugh at his mistakes.
14. He inhales peanut butter m&m's.
15. He also has a deep and abiding passion for pizza.
16. He is really good at sharing his food with me.
17. He is very funny and has a great sense of humor.
18. He would love to have the time to learn to build cool stuff and the excuse to buy manly tools.
19. He enjoys shopping, every kind. Grocery shopping, clothes shopping, even shopping for me. He is usually the one who buys my clothes or talk me into buying something.
20. He is also good at budgeting and managing the money.
21. He sometimes laughs to keep himself from crying.
22. He didn't like cats when we first started dating but fell to the charms of my Peepurrs and was dying for a cat of our own when we bought our house.
23. He was a very picky eater growing up. He is much better now and has a pretty short list of things he won't eat.
24. He is a great father and has his heart melted by Parker on a daily basis.
25. He thinks the best of people and doesn't talk bad about anyone.
26. He is meticulous when working with his hands and very good at small motor skills. This came in handy doing IV's, dispensing drugs, etc. and will certainly make him a great CRNA.
27. He doesn't really enjoy talking on the phone.
28. He is allergic to the skins of most fruits and some raw vegetables.
29. He is smart, handsome, funny.
30. He is mine.
