Joe - you were the best birthday gift I ever received...I love you because
you have unique interests and have introduced me to some fun TV shows and internet sites.
you love the fine arts - literature, music, theater and you have opinions that I value in each of these areas
you are a gentleman - an art that is losing ground. You treat me and all women with respect and courtesty. I really like that.
you are a thinker
you are true to your beliefs
you were a great YSA Chairman even though it was not something with which you felt comfortable. I marveled at the great activities you helped plan and carried out!
you are faithful - you were a superb and loyal Ward Clerk for the Spanish Branch. I loved the enthusiasm with which you received this call and the class act you did in performing it.
you are a computer whiz and a patient helper.
you are the best gift giver.
you are so good to me and Dad. You are willing to listen and to learn.
I am proud to say I am Joe Bennion's mom.

I love Joe because:
-He is super well read and a book recommendation by Joe has never steered me wrong.
-He gives the *best* gifts! We love everything that Joe has ever given us.
-He is super thoughtful and always puts others first.
-He used to be always willing to go upstairs and get everyone's comforter when we watched movies. Joe was always serving in little ways like that.

I really miss living near Joe and having him over to play hand and foot, watch movies or have bbqs at the park with the kids. We look forward to living near you again Joe B!

Love you.

I like Joe because:

He really is good with kids. Our kids love and completely remember their Uncle Joe, even after not living near him for almost two years. He really pays sincere attention to what they are saying and doing and that means so much to them!

He is fun to talk about movies, books and musicals with. I am glad Joe likes musicals like I do!

He is always willing to help others, with moving, shopping, searching through our storage unit for papers:). You are a lifesaver over and over again.

He is interesting to talk to and knows so much about so many things. He really loves knowledge.

He is good about giving compliments.

He is easy to be around.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday Joe! We'll be back in Utah to celebrate your next one with you!!!

I love Joe because of all the "neat" things he does for others.

As an example his willingness to play video games with Maxwell who obviously was so appreciative.

I hope that I will get to know Joe even better in the future, because all the wonderful things that have been posted. What a great compliment they have paid to Joe.

Happy birthday Joe, I love you.

Happy Birthday Joe!

I love Joe because:

He is committed to succeeding. Both in his school work (back into the School of Engineering and Technology baby!), and in his weight-loss efforts. Laches-pas!

He is wonderful to the kids. They all love Joe. The idea of talking to and seeing Joe brings screams of delight at our house.

Joe is smart and has diverse interests from Fantasy to Hard Drive specs. Joe is interested in lots of things.

Joe shares with others. We still have Super Mario Galaxy at our house. :)

Joe is very handsome. I love the picture that Dad posted.

Joe was a great fellow Ward Clerk at Church and it was always fun to talk about the different challenges of the work. He had better stories than I did.

Joe loves movies and gives good reviews. Fun to see them with.

Happy Birthday Joe! We are excited to see you soon.

Joe

Give me a:

J!--Just the champion hand and foot partner! Booyah!

O!--Outstanding reader. Joe is maybe the fastest reader I know and retains everything he reads. It's crazy and awesome!

S!--Stupendous gift-giver. He is always thinking about what someone else might like and is so generous in giving. He always picks the perfect presents for me! And helps others pick great presents (eg. the computer I'm typing at right now ;) )

E!--Enjoys lots of the same things as me.

P!--Picks the best movies and movie treats. I miss seeing movies with Joe.

H!--Happy. Whenever I call Joe, he is upbeat about life and school and it makes me feel happy to chat with him.

and a couple of other things:
*he's a great uncle--little kids love him. he is great at being attentive to them and playing games with them

*he is the best person to share a car with. always generous.

*he is generous in general--really loves to think about what will make somebody else happy.

*he is a computer wizard and I would not be where I am today without him.

*he is SO handsome.

*he knows my favorite candies and always slipped me peppermint patties in the MTC. that was the bomb. I loved sharing that missionary experience with Joe.

*he is strong in the gospel and is a great example to me of strength and courage in standing for the right.

and i love him a lot!

have the best day!

love,
anna
