1. He's funny. Like pee your pants funny. He's at his funniest when he's not trying too hard to be funny.
2. He loves video games, but rarely gets to play them anymore.
3. He has the best smile. When he looks at you and smiles, it's impossible not to smile back.
4. He's a nerd. All the cliches of being a band/choir/electronic kid in high school are him.
5. I love that he's musical and insanely smart with all things wired. Those are crazy good talents to have.
6. He can melt me with one look from his big brown eyes. I'm thankful Lucy has those exact ones.
7. He's athletic. It took him a long time realize it (see #4), but he really is. Volleyball, racquetball, swimming, running, biking, weight lifting, all come naturally to him.
8. He's a triathlete. He's done the Olympic and the regular (?) versions.
9. He's smart. I'm always asking him what words mean and how to spell them.
10. He loves his Mom. Total Mama's boy. I love it.
11. He's a very hard worker. He has no problem rolling his sleeves up and getting stuff done.
12. He can't focus on anything else if there's something to watch on a screen. It's like a moth to a flame.
13. He HATES spiders. We have an unspoken agreement- I get the spiders, he gets the snakes.
14. He doesn't like hanging out outside. It may be due to the fact that bugs eat him alive or that he sunburns if he thinks about the sun. Either way, not a fan of being outdoors.
15. Except to jet ski. He really enjoys jet skiing.
16. He LOVES to ski. He tried to snowboard a few years ago, but came to the conclusion that he's too old to take it up. So he switched to skiing and every year he gets more excited to hit the slopes.
17. He would much rather have experiences then things.
18. He loves to travel and we have been blessed to have taken a trip almost every year of our married lives.
19. He is a certified scuba diver. He's seen sharks, crazy huge sting rays, sunken ships, etc. at 60 feet under.
20. He's oh so handsome. Sometimes I just like to look at him.
21. He's a charmer. Ask any girl 8-14 or over the age of 75. They all have crushes on him.
22. He honors his Priesthood. He gives blessings, attends the temple and fulfills his church callings.
23. He doesn't bear it often, but he has a really strong testimony.
24. He doesn't remember much about growing up. I tease him that when it all comes back to him, we're not going to be able to afford the therapy bill.
25. He adores me. Puts me on a pedestal, really. It's nice to be worshiped.
26. He has a temper. It rarely shows, but when it does, watch it. Kind of like a volcano. With turrets.
27. He doesn't think of himself as a solo singer, but he has a great voice and does wonderful going solo.
28. He loves to be in the spotlight, but hates big crowds socially. On a stage in front of hundreds of people...awesome. At a family gathering with 20 people...no thanks.
29. He's color blind. Red and greens mostly.
30. He's served his mission in Denver, CO. One of his areas in now 15 minutes from our house.
31. He is an incredible father. His children absolutely adore him and he loves them more than anything.
32. He hates yard work and hanging the Christmas lights. Those are his two least favorite things to do around the house.
33. He's a talker. Doesn't know the meaning of "to make a long story short." But he's really good at giving in depth detail and is a great story teller.
34. He really wants to learn how to play the piano.
35. He's a perv. In a good way. Not in a windowless white van kind of way.
36. He is getting really thick. His chest, arms and shoulders are really muscular and his waist is trim. He was such a skinny kid growing up, and in his twenties, that I think he really enjoys being buff.
37. He is a really, really good husband. He tires so hard to make me happy. He really does put my needs before his own.
38. He's my best friend. I know everyone says that about their spouse, but he really truly is. He's the first person I always want to tell things to. He's the one I talk to when I need to vent. He's the person I want to hang out with all the time. I can't fall asleep at night unless I'm tucked into his side. He's my person.
Happy Birthday Love...
