HaPpY BiRtHdAy!




We had too much fun celebrating yesterday to find time to blog so (a day late)...
Happy Birthday Steve!
Here's a not-so-arbitrarily-numbered list of fun and interesting things you may not know him...
1. He's an well-organized Type B personality
2. He's really determined, but not in a crazy competitive sort of way.
3. He's a perfectionist but not particular.
4. His wife is his favorite person :)
5. He likes to spend time at home but definitely not for longer than a 24-hour period
6. He has really, really, really great guy friends
7. He makes super good nachos that we enjoy every Sunday after church while watching SNL together
8. He can do 19 pull-ups on his pull up bar
9. He never liked to read until he got in college and has been a pretty avid reader since
10. He will change his clothes if he sees that I have "coordinated" colors with him when we're going out
11. He loves Rocky Road ice cream scooped in a mug with 1 cup of milk poured over it, but not stirred up (it's good...)
12. He is the kind of dad that is always on the floor playing with his kids
13. He will almost never want to watch a Romantic Comedy with me, but will always say, "It wasn't as bad as I was expecting!" when we're done with the movie
14. Even with that said, his favorite movies are hard-core guy movies like Bravehart and such...
15. He hardly ever gets sick
16. He has a HORRIBLE memory--even before he had amnesia
17. He doesn't get scared of really anything
18. He takes a very long time to write emails
19. He is always on his phone while driving
20. I don't think there is a vegetable that he doesn't like
21. He makes amazing bbq chicken
22. He makes amazing Thomas the Tank Engine shaped pancakes
23. He will get a headache within 10 minutes of stepping into a mall
24. He was once mistaken for an 8th grader when he was 24 years old
25. He has always had a really clear idea of what matters most in life and doesn't bother with a lot of needless "stuff"
26. He gets up with our kids at night almost more than I do
27. On weekends he likes to be productive but not busy
28. He is the BEST card-picker-outer for birthdays and anniversaries
29. Without exaggeration a dad and husband that continues to blow us away more every year!

Most of this I already knew...but Thomas the Train pancakes?? Gotta say bud, that's impressive. I think i've only tried the boring Mickey Mouse or an occasional snowman. Dad must have taught you more tricks with the batter than me. Happy Birthday, Steven. So happy to be your sis!!
