Happy Birthday Matt!

Words cannot even begin to describe the incredible love and admiration I have for my oldest brother Matt. Matt is one of the most Christlike people I know. He is very good at making each person he encounters feel loved and important. Matt is also very good at reaching out to his siblings. He is a great listener and he gives great advise, usually centered on the gospel. I'm so grateful for Matt and I look up to him so much!

Matt is so selfless it amazes me. I can always count on Matt to help me with anything that I need. Another amazing trait that Matt has is a super fun sense of humor. Matt is really fun to joke around with, and he quite enjoys teasing me. For example, at some point in my life Matt decided that since I didn't have a middle name he was going to come up with one for me. And he came up with. . . . Alexis Frank(My grandpa's name is Frank). Everytime that name leaves his lips he just laughs. It makes me laugh too and we have a fun time with it. :) Matt has such a  great feeling of peace about him and I have learned so much about the gospel from him. My testimony has increased greatly because of conversations I've had with Matt. I feel so very blessed to have him as my oldest brother. He is such a great example of hard work, love, kindness, and patience. Thank you Matt for always being so loving. I hope you have the most amazing birthday ever! I love you so much :) Happy Birthday Big Brother!!
