Twenty Nine!

Today Eric turns 29!
This is mainly for Eric and I and for my "journal."
So this is one post you can just skip if you want :)

29 Things about you, some of which I love and some I just want to remember!

1.You are a great father to Maddix. He lights up whenever you are around and loves following you everywhere.
2.You are such a great provider for our family. You work hard every day and most of the time really enjoy your job.
3.You are so funny. You have this crazy sense of humor that most of the time I find very entertaining.
4.When you are getting ready in the morning you have this routine. You make these noises when you brush your teeth and you put your shirt on in a special way. I often find myself laughing under my breath just watching how picky you are.
5.You are a great husband to me. You know how to make me feel happy and loved. Just wish you liked to cuddle a little more J
6.You love to be active. You enjoy so many different things but you can also be content just relaxing and watching a movie with me.
7.You love to give Maddix “Beat Ups” and wrestle. You can make him laugh so easily.
8.You are a strong member of the church. I don’t think you know I grateful I am for that and for the many blessings it provides both Maddix and I.
9.You have set many goals for yourself and for us as a family. I enjoy watching and achieving those with you.
10.You are very picky. You like most foods but like them a certain way. I cannot or chose not to shop for you because most of the time you end up taking back what I get for you. So I end up getting you gift certificates! Surprise!
11.You hate reality TV…ok most TV shows, but the shows you do like are Man vs Wild or anything to do with Nature or outdoors, Scrubs, Seinfeld and The Simpsons.
12.You want to get back into Art, drawing, sketching and I think you should you are great at it.
13.Your goal for the next year is to go on some BIG trip, either to Kilimanjaro, Alaska or some other mountain to climb or bike.
14.You Love to camp, even though we have yet to go. But if we ever do we will be fully prepared with tents, sleeping bags, cooking supplies and many lanterns/flashlights!
15.You told me that the only thing you wanted for your birthday this year was to drive a Lamborghini for the day…sorry I couldn’t find one….maybe next year!
16.You are very good about remembering dates. Maybe it’s cause I remind you for a about a week before but you never forget. You always try and make my birthday special for me even though most of the time we aren’t together.
17.You know so many random facts, especially about snakes. Here’s a question for you… Which snake makes the best pet? According to Reptile Knowledge.com the corn snake, king snake, gopher snake, and ball python make the best snakes to have as a pet. But according to me NONE or NEVER!!!
18.You are very “clean.” You like the house, car, yard, etc to be nice and clean or organized. Something I can definitely improve on.
19.You love to serve others. You are a great example to me and others.
20.You can fall asleep in about 10 seconds flat! I am always amazed at how quickly you are snoring. Sometimes I am still thinking of something to say to you or even mid conversation and then I will hear your deep shallow breathing and know you are out!
21.You Love football! I love watching football with you, especially if the Chargers or Broncos are playing. You get so excited if something good happens to the Chargers and even more excited if the Broncos are doing poorly!
22.You like to do yard work. I hate working in the yard so I am lucky that you don’t mind pulling weeds and taking care of the garden.
23.You’ve taught me to be a better eater. I love junk food and you hate it. So even though I still eat it I would definitely say it is less than before.
24.From the first time we really met you have made me feel beautiful and special. I appreciate that very much.
25.I love that you are such an involved dad. You love giving Maddix his bath, putting him to bed, playing with him and even changing diapers.
26.You are very persuasive! I think you could talk me and most people we know into anything! Even if you don’t know the right answers you act so confident in it that I am convinced! Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.
27.You are almost always late! I learned this from very early on but it sometimes still amazes me and when I’m a little irritated about it you easily blame it on me and then I forget about how irritated I am and just have to laugh. Definitely Mormon Standard Time!
28.You have a son who adores you and I know someday will want to be just like you. I am lucky he has such an amazing example to follow.
29.You married me and that makes me the luckiest girl in the world!

I love you babe and hope you have a great birthday!

Nat - love your list and I'm going to add one....

#30 - one of the smartest/best things Eric ever did was to fall in love with the 'most beautiful girl in the world' (his words) and marry her! Nat - you are wonderful - as a wife, mother, friend, daughter-in-law... When Brian and I count our many blessings - you are among the top!

Ok, I got to like #4. I know he is a great guy and how much you and Maddix love him so I just skipped to comment! :)

Mark and Lachelle said...

You're so cute Nats!! Eric is lucky to have married such an awesome girlie!! I love that Mark isn't the only person that can fall asleep in a matter of seconds. He's even fallen asleep on me, mid conversation. Too funny!

Scott and Chelsey said...

Happy Birthday Eric! That's such a great post to remember all of those things!!!

Brady and Lauren said...

Such a great post. You guys are such a great couple and Eric is lucky you're his wife!

Leah said...

Happy Birthday Eric! So sweet Nat! I laughed at the reality tv one. JD HATES it too (except Man vs. wild!) I have cut down on my reality cuz evertime JD walks in the room I am bound to hear him make comments about how retarded the shows are! And why I give a crap about people I don't even know!

Brian Mealey said...

We are so lucky that Eric married someone who loves him even more than we do! Thanks for creating this thoughtful and kind list. It was fun to read and remember so many things about Eric. What a great gift, even better than a day in a Lamborghini!

Michele said...
