Celebrating Chris!

Today is Chris's birthday. A whopping 32! I know it's not that old - but I do find comfort in him being older & reaching each decade milestone first. I am very grateful to have him in my life. Not many of you may know this - but, he is actually a pretty funny guy. Granted, he doesn't always catch on to my jokes, but that's ok. He seems the strong silent type - WAY not how it is!! Unless you are breaking the law & he has to take the neccessary actions against you, you will see his strong, serious side - (if you fall under that category...I am very sorry. But you shouldn't be bad anyway..) I have told many that, even I, would not want to be pulled over by that man!

Which makes me think..maybe I should share things you don't know about him. Wouldn't that be fun?

• One night we were playing Cranium & he could not guess the picture I was drawing for "Don't cry over spilled milk." Turns out - he never EVER heard that phrase before.

• When we are in restaurants -or any place really - he runs through "what if" scenarios to test my knowledge and see if I would survive or not...ex: crazies enter w/ guns...what do you do? He actually threw one at me when we were driving somewhere once...in case we were boxed in by cars on all sides & those crazies appeared again...which car would I ram to get away? (Fun huh? What would you do?)

• He is an ice cream-aholic! I am not even kidding about this. He probably has 3+ servings each time in a huge bowl. (Almost every night too...) He has been known to take one of my mixing bowls for this...then he adds: marshmellows, the occasional oreos- or other cookie type item, fudge or chocolate syrup, sprinkles...and "sprinkles" seems like a little - oh no! He loads them on like there is no tomorrow! Makes you wonder how he isn't a fatty huh?

• He is an apple beer junkie.

• He is a hothead.

• Deep down, he really does like being outnumbered by the females in the house. What would he do without his girls? (I'll tell ya....he would be very lonely, depressed - since we bring so much sunshine & laughter in the house - & starving. :-)

• He doesn't like to read that much - with the exception to the newspaper and the current Harley Davidson catalog. It makes him tired, so he says....

• He is desperately wanting to get his hands on a WII and all the accessories available. Maybe someday, honey!

• He loves the song "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney. It is the programmed ring on his phone for when I call or message him. Funny thing though...he doesn't have -or ever had, in fact, any type of a tractor! Plus, tractors aren't really a turn on for me.

• He takes up most of the closet space in our bedroom closets. He also has at least 1 tote worth of old t-shirts from various places & H. S. sports.

• I can't give him a back rub because he is so fidgety & super ticklish! WARNING!!! Do not try to tickle him, you will most likely end up in a wrist lock & laying on the floor before you can count to 2! Believe me - you don't want to test this theory...ask Bruce. He got a little taste of it.

• He loves to run!

• He gets hit on at work - very often too! As a matter of fact...one night while at the Delta Center, he was given a picture that was found in a cubicle area...there were multiple copies throughout that area too! Turns out that the ladies there had someone take the picture, make copies, & distribute them to all those interested. So I married a hottie!! SCORE! As a result of the many admirers, he has broken many hearts. He has even had ladies ask how serious our relationship is, once they find out he's married. THE NERVE!

• He loves me, Victoria, Christianna & our families. What more could you ask for in a guy!

I love you honey! xoxox Happy Birthday!!
