Update: Mitch has discovered the world of blogging and is unleashing his thoughts for our enjoyment. Check him out here.
This year my brother Mitch shares his 29th birthday with Easter. Mitch is actually Mitchell, but I almost always call him Mitch. He also goes by "Mipitich", "Barg", and Brandon and I lovingly refer to him as "Argue Man". He should have been a lawyer. He can be extremely stubborn and he will play devil's advocate just to argue an issue. Although this all sounds really negative, he is actually one of the funnest guys to be around. He is passionate about politics, cars, golf, and of course his lovely wife Nancie (Nan), and his adorable boys Camden (Cam) and Jack (Jack-Jack).
The thing that saves Mitch from becoming totally annoying is his sense of humor. He doesn't take himself too seriously, he does a killer model walk (ask him sometime, he would love to show it to you), and he can quote SNL, Adam Sandler and Jack Black movies like no-one else (except my other brother Marshall.) For a big guy, he is also an amazingly good, and graceful dancer.
Being around Mitch is never dull and I enjoy spending time with him talking about politics, music, and stupid people (i.e. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry.) He is a great father, a worthy priesthood holder, and a loving husband. Here are a few things you probably don't know about Mitch....
