Happy Birthday Tony! Friday February 27th

Happy 26th Birthday Tony!

This was really why I wanted to go to Florida. I wanted to be able to celebrate another birthday with my brother. I don't think he has spent one with our family in ~8 years. My guess would be he likes it that way! Jodi and I came up with a list of 26 reasons we love our baby brother.

26. I love him because he loves me more cause I'm the favorite sister!
25. I can confide in him, and often times do
24. Tony and Jodi are only one year a part in age so they mostly torment each other and leave me alone
23. He got in his truck and drove to Iowa immediately just to be with his sister in her time of need
22. He has a great sense of style
21. He was kind enough to teach Jodi how to drive a stick with HIS truck
20. I love him because he loves me more cause I'm the favorite sister!
19. He has a really cool motorcycle
18. He is the best uncle to N & H
17. He has been practically everywhere
16. He tries really hard to be healthy
15. I love him because he loves me more cause I'm the favorite sister!
14. He loves to workout and we all need the extra boost of motivation every now and then
13. He takes life way less serious than me
12. Tony would do anything for anyone
11. Tony is an awesome listener
10. I love him because he loves me more cause I'm the favorite sister!
9. He knows when to tell me to shut up
8. Tony is honest and sincere
7. N appreciates that he and Tony look so much alike and he's not just a mini-me of his mom but his uncle too
6. N loves how Uncle Tony throws him up in the air
5. Tony is extremely kind hearted
4. Tony took me to a bar that stayed open until 4am on his birthday! After 7 hours of drinking with his friends he still doesn't hate me! (they might but he doesn't, the hottie lead singer might too, oops!) At least one of his friends still think I'm cool even if I beat them to 30, thanks James!
3. I'm loving the king size bed and bamboo sheets he gave up for me and my family while he took the couch...I'm thinking Aaron wasn't planning to buy me a new bed when we returned from vacation.
2. He let us visit him in Florida for an entire week and didn't go crazy
1. We love him for proudly serving his country
