In my quest to post things I'm thankful for this season, I have decided to post about my older brother, Todd.Todd is clever and level-headed. He recently told me a story about buying his new truck. The first dealer was quite dishonest, yet Todd kept his cool and talked circles around that guy, catching the dishonest fellow in his own lies. HA! As he told me the story, I could feel myself get angry--like I wanted to yell at the idiot, but Todd calmly talked him into a trap and left, never losing his cool. And to add icing to the cake, Todd got a better deal elsewhere. Double HA!
Todd is super smart. He has knowledge of every subject you could study in school. I wish I were as smart as Todd. I have asked his opinion several times about environmental issues, and he responds with such informative opinions. I really don't know how he can know so much about everything.
Todd is a loyal and hard worker. Companies seek him out to work for them because they know of his reputation.
Todd is a really good dad. He loves his kids. He plays with them. He takes care of them. (And I SUPER love those kids!!!)! They love him too. Todd is a good husband. It is very obvious that he loves his wife, Natalie.
Todd has always looked out for me. The earliest memory of this I have is when I was in 1st grade and he was in 3rd. Todd and I didn't play together at recess, but I was being bullied and he came up and scared the pants off the guy. I was never bothered again.
These are just a few of the things I admire about my brother. I love Todd and am thankful he is in our family.

yay for older brothers! I've admired the same things about Todd as you have listed here. We're lucky that we grew up with such a protective big brother. And now he is our personal helpdesk! :) A smart and wise man. Yay for family!
Now if he would just finish that bathroom!:) I am thankful that I get to claim him as part of my family. What a great guy! Love you.
From Todd Blakemore - Thanks for the nice comments. I do love my wife and kids, but I don't know if I am as smart as you think I am....I am good a fooling people... Also I love my new truck and I wanted to punch the jerk at the first dealership, but found it more effective to use words instead.
