Happy Birthday Matthew!

December 7th, Pearl Harbor day, is also my brother Matthew's birthday. I know I am a day late in posting, but Happy Birthday anyway!



10 things we love about Matthew:

1. He is the "Golden Child", the beloved of our mother. (Ask any of the rest of the semi-precious stones...)
2. He just finished his MBA in Chicago, and landed his dream job (while working full time and raising 3 kids!)
3. The Pearson girls named him "mean Uncle Matt" and it stuck...even though he is not mean
4. He comes to visit us! (From Rebekah)
5. He has a rockin' cool wife (Julie) who we love!
6. He is letting our whole brood stay with him in his lovely new house when we go to Texas for Michelle's wedding. THANKS!!
7. He was NOT born on my birthday, I was really stressed out that would happen, when I was 7. Thanks!
8. He is has already taught his oldest son the "right" way to vote...Rush would be so proud.
9. He is luckiest person around, he has great timing when it comes to layoffs and severance pay...
10. He is a star athlete, he made it all the way through the first play of the turkey bowl before he got hurt...all that talkin' smack for nuttin'...(Christmas '01)

Happy Birthday Matthew! We love you! We can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
