Um, I suck. I only said happy birthday. I will come up with 25 today and post them later! Promise! I still love you, Pierce. I just don't follow directions very well....

1. Pierce has a way to make you feel like you are welcome. Since we have lived in Spokane, Pierce always makes us feel like he has missed us, and he is happy to see us.
2. I love Pierce's laugh. You always know when he is having a good time.
3. As president of the SDC, he used to tell Locke to do naughty things. I can imagine the kind of shenanigans he pulls as a dad, and how sweet and tender he is after.
4. I love how passionate he is about the things he loves. Basketball, lacrosse, Karissa, Emmett (Not necessarily in that order... ;) ) He jumps not just with both feet, but with his whole body.
5. He is a learner. He loves gaining knowledge.
6. He is efficient. When we worked together, he always wanted to find the most efficient way to do things, taking out repetition or trying to make it easier.
7. That being said, he is a hard worker. I'm sure everyone has said that, because we have all seen his manual labor, as well as how he puts his mind to something and finishes it.
8. He didn't kill me the first time we drove in a car together. Even though he was about 16 or 17 and texting while driving. :)
9. He went black friday shopping with me before he & K were engaged. I'll always remember how willing he was to help me, a poor law school wife trying to make Christmas happy for her family. I don't think I would have dared go without him.
10. He is a pretty great brother. I always think of the Walkers as my siblings, and Pierce has shown me what a brother acts like.
11. He is a heckuv an uncle. Since Locke was little he was always helping and making him laugh. I have a picture of Pierce feeding Locke prunes when Locke is about 6 months old, and the spoon is flying out of his hand because Locke knocked it out.
12. He loves history.
13. I love seeing what gifts he gives Karissa, because he always nails it! I need to take some classes from him or something....
14. He loves, and loves, and loves.
15. I truly believe he would do anything for his family. Pierce is a joking kind of guy, but he always turns very serious when talking about K & E.
16. Pierce has ripened with age. At 17, he was fun and hyper and ready for adventure. At 25, he is just as willing to start an adventure, but is now all wise and grown up and stuff.
17. He still teases, really well, though.
18. He is a good example to my kid, and all of his nieces and nephews.
19. I always know where I stand with Pierce. He is really straight forward. There isn't any show or pretense.
20. Pierce is the deal slayer. He can find a deal anywhere, I swear, and I hear he is the very best guy to go car shopping with because he will get you a bangin car for a great price.
21. I really like this guy. I have easily come up with 21 attributes about Pierce so far, and all of them are awesome.
22. He is pretty handsome.
23. He is active. As long as I have known him, he has always been participating in some kind of sport or exercising in some way.
24. How cool is it that he was on the row team?
25. I love you Pierce! You are one of a kind, and an absolute asset to this world. Thank you for being you!
