Here’s Why I Love Brian So Much:
1. He’s a HUGE helper! I think I would be looking a very long time to find a man so willing to fold laundry after a long day at work. In fact, I could be looking forever if I hadn’t found him!
2. He’s a Brainiac!!! He’s been studying for school or an exam practically every day since we’ve met! He took summer school classes while we were engaged and he starts studying for his next actuarial exam just hours after he takes one!
3. Brian is dedicated to everything he’s involved in. He always puts 100% into his activities and it definitely shows!
4. I must admit, that as much as it annoys me, I think it is so adorable that Brian is still so dedicated to BYU sports (especially football). It’s so fun to see him pass on his enthusiasm to his girls…Morgan always chooses to wear her “rah rah” shirt, regardless of the day of the week or time of year.
5. After 5 wonderful years, he still loves me and puts up with me. I’ll admit that emotionally, I am high maintenance and it takes the sweetest, kindest, most loving and perfect man to always be so supportive of me.
To the MOST WONDEFUL MAN IN MY LIFE, I love you and thank you for just being you!
Love,
Mackenzie

Happy Anniversary!!
Congratulations you two! We celebrate our 23rd on the 23rd! You forgot to mention one talent in your admirations of Brian: He is an amazing actor (i.e. a sheep in the Nativity play). His performance was moving. He must have done a lot of research for character development! You should be very proud!
Congrats!! I love your wedding pictures. We miss you guys.
