25. I love that garrett married
jessica....she's a great sister in law!26. We like that garrett is going to byu, so you guys live relatively close by (for nowat least).27. I like it when garrett tries my food i make and then he says he likes it, cuz i know he's a picky eater, and if he likes it, than most people will.
28-34. I have known Garrett since early elementary school and the main thing that I love about him is how loyal he is to those that love him. He has been my cory when I was shawn, and vice versa. He is MY best friend! I look up to him in many ways and am glad that I know him. I hope I can be more like Garrett. Happy Birthday (sorry that your turning 24, but y
ou had a good run at 23).
35. This is easy. The #1 reason why I love Garrett is definitely his baby sister Gabrielle.36. And the other 99 reasons why I love him are basically the SAME reasons why I love myself.37. Garrett loves sharing in other's excitement and is easily excited38. I love that Garrett is relentless, helps to have him on your team39. Sharing O's at 2am while watching Boy Meets World at full volume to hear over our loud crunching40. Garrett is the world's best team mate41. He is a terrible liar42. His jokes are harmless, and usually very funny, BUT always hysterical to Garrett43. He's a ridiculously great dancer with GREAT rhythm44. My favorite shopping partner 45. Garrett is very s
ensitive to others
46. Garrett's reasons for calling are usually legit47. I never tire of talking to Garrett48. I love the semi-ridiculous projects Garrett has convinced me to do- brick his wall in cardboard49. He can recognize something great50. Extremely sentimental51. We can call each other to explain how funny we just wereGarrett's advice is reliable (just make sure you recognize 1st where it benefits him!)52. EVERYTHING is more fun with Garrett53. EVERYTHING could be made more fun with Garrett54. That he isn't afraid of cold water or foreign food55. That he has inspired Shelby to grow his hair out again56. He has more will power than anyone I know...not to be mistaken for stubbornness...ie: 67. Remaining on his detox diet while we all ate fillet mignon 57. His dedication to his dreams, whether it be family, school, his mission, or soccer, ect. he gives everything to achieve the BEST!
58. He is kind59. He likes to dance60. He can make Gabes smile the most genuinely61. The fact that he shares the same name as Olivia the Pig's Uncle Garrett, and that just like that Uncle Garrett, he will one day help Olivia dance a pas de deux for her show and tell kindergarten class62. He inspires me to eat less candy and more blueberries63. He's creative64. And my most favorite thing about Garrett...he is my little brother and therefore we will always be tight gee-six thugs!!!65. He is loyal to and maintains friendships66. He has great relationships with siblings. Jessica has great relationships with her siblings---good family relationships is a key quality and I notice it with your siblings also.67. He is a hustler-as in the day you hid in wait to speak with President Holland from UVU-that took guts. 68. That was just flat out awesome.
69. You take after your mom in being a great networker, it really is a gift. For those of us that don't have that gift, we notice and appreciate it when we see it---we also envy (in the good way that you envy--maybe envy isn't a good choice but you know what I mean) that gift.70. My daughter loves you---and that makes you great in my book, I love you too!!!
71. You love and respect your father---that goes a long way for me. You have always appreciated the sacrifices that he made for you and acknowledged with gratitude the big part he played in your life. When you and Jessica were dating, and I was measuring you up---don't think that I didn't notice that. The heart of a grateful person also goes a long with with your Father in Heaven.
72. I love that you helped that Russian get back to his home country. I respect a person who sees a need and then goes above and
beyond to fulfill that need.
73. You speak highly of your wife. Jim once got me sucked into chairing a committee to do the awards dinner for all the cheerleaders and poms and their family, about 250 people. I asked why he did that and he said, because you can do it better than anyone else. I see you do that with Jessica. One true mark of a quality marital partner is one who elevates the other. I see you do that with Jessica. What mom wouldn't love that in her son-in-law????
74. You don't like contention, when someone has hurt your feelings seemingly you just walk away, especially in family situations. That quality is lacking in many people. My mother hates contention and will always
yield, I find it the mark of a strong character and not a weak one. Since it is a quality I love in my mother, I love it about you too.
75. I have said to my kids a million times---play to your strengths. God has given you a certain deck of cards, good and not so good, you play the cards that your dealt---and you play them well. I have noticed that you also have been generous in sharing many of the gifts and talents that you have developed.

104. I'm glad he motivates me to be more passionate about every little thing i do

106. He was my biggest BABY and thus, I perfected the "art of waddling" when he was in my womb,
Stats: 8 pounds 12 ounces, and Dr. Bigler, my Obstetrician at Utah Valley Hospital's first words to me after Garrett came out, "Look at his cute, round butt!"
107. He eventually learned to love his baby sister, Gabrielle, after his untimely "dethrowning" when darling Gabrielle arrived when he was only 20 months old. His spread eagle lunges on the hardwood floors of our kitchen were legendary as he demonstrated classic toddler meltdowns, "Take her back...PLEEEEEEEASE Take her back!" --which he would cry out to anyone who came to see our new baby!
108. He liked running around, indoors or outdoors in just his polo shirt and a diaper, and as he got older, he had this wonderful habit, that if he liked a certain "outfit" he would wear it again and again...so we saved on laundry! Ask anyone in the family, and they will all recall the tie-dyed T-shirt and matching sweatpants!
109. He absolutely loved his daily, sometimes twice daily bike rides with his eldest sister, Joanna...even if it made her totally uncool being the only 13-year old teenager in the neighborhood with a pink baby seat on her bike!
110. He is our family's designated artist...Garrett drew all hours of the day and night...he would take off his shoes, put it on the breakfast table and begin sketching an exact illustration of his stinky athletic shoe!
111. He is a very, very loyal friend. He has kept his same friends all his life!
112. He has a giant, contagious SMILE!
113. He has never ever been afraid to WORK HARD!
114. He speaks Russian, and married a beautiful gal who also speaks Russian.
115. He recognizes that ALL his blessings come from GOD.
116. I love you GARRETT, for being the kind, loving, dedicated, positive individual that he always strives to be
