In honor of his birthday, this post is dedicated to my brother, Aaron. He's actually my brother-in-law, but I don't really like using that term, especially when he is just like a real brother to me. Anyway, I actually met Aaron when he was just a little kid at TFC. The ministry for our junior-highers at our church. When I say little, I mean little, if I recall correctly, he was shorter than me at the time. He's since grown to be about 6 feet tall!
The funniest memory I have of him was when he and Deana just got engaged. We were at our annual sibling Thanksgiving party and we were playing this board game...I can't believe that I forgot the name of it, wait, it's called Outburst. We've since stopped playing it because we always play boys vs. girls and we always end up arguing with our spouses.
Anyway, we were near the end of the game and it was the girls' turn to call out answers and the boys cheated and told us we didn't say a certain answer and we just started yelling at each other. Half laughing and half serious (we take those games seriously!) and I remember looking over at Aaron and he had this look like he was thinking, "What in the world did I get myself into?"
Well, that was about 6 years ago and he's still around. : ) Since then, we've come to learn a lot about him. For instance, did you know that he has a great sense of humor? He seems like this quiet guy, but once you get him started, he's pretty funny. He's also into electronics, him and Amel can talk for hours about that stuff. Literally, hours. Also, that he knows more Tagalog than Spanish? I tease him about that to this day. And everyone has to know that he has fwee skills. If you don't know what that is, just go and ask him. : ) Lastly, he's also a good friend, we don't know who else would be down to help paint our kitchen at 4 IN THE MORNING!
With that, I just want to say, Aaron, may God bless you with a wonderful birthday, (despite it being tax day) and may He use you to glorify His name through your awesome fwee skills, your discipleship, your teaching, but mainly through your role as husband and father.
Feliz compleanos, hermano!
