32 Big Ones!

I hit the jackpot when I married Eric, I am truly a lucky girl! I don't do much to embarrass Eric (well at least I don't THINK I do) so I thought I'd put together a little list of 32 memories/thoughts of my favorite guy for his birthday!

1. You can't remember where you set your keys down five seconds ago (literally) but you can remember what I was wearing the first time we met.

2. You love your family (and mine) unconditionally, even the crazy ones!

3. You always remember to take the trash out...when reminded.

4. I don't know anyone else who has a favorite number anymore except you...and today you turn 32 which just happens to be your fav number! How excited are you?!

5. You are seriously the best Dad, I couldn't wish for a more patient, loving, and fun dad for our kids.


6. You can fall asleep in less than 2 seconds although science would say that is impossible. Who else can brag that their husband defies scientific research!?

7. You are one of the best people I've ever met. You have such a pure and generous heart.

8. You would rather pick a spider up and walk it across the street than step on it, regardless of how many times I tell you just to smash it!

9. You love to work! Eat, Sleep, Drink, Programming.

10. You totally get my sense of humor, actually we pretty much has the same sense of humor, it's so convenient!

11. You always kiss me goodbye in the morning. I love that!

12. You will eat ANYTHING. I never have to worry about trying new recipes because I know even if it tastes horrible, you will still eat it, all of it! There is a reason I call you my "human garbage can"...in a loving way of course!


13. You don't talk much in a group of people (that's my job) but you talk non-stop when we are at home. Some people may not believe this but it's true.

14. You are so smart, I hope our kids got your brains.

15. You scare easily. Like the "jump out of the closet" kind. Its so funny!

16. You like to dress up for Halloween, I hate it.

17. You ALWAYS iron your clothes in the morning (and I lay in bed secretly glad you didn't ask me to do it!)

18. You've been through a lot, especially during your early teen years when your mom passed away, but you have an incredible outlook on life. Most people couldn't have handled that as well as you did.

19. You keep sentimental things (if I don't find them and throw them away of course)

20. You love the outdoors and are always trying to get us outside to do things together.


21. You are always trying to improve yourself, riding your bike to work, eating healthier, although some days we fail miserably, you are always trying.

22. You always support me in everything I want to do or try. Even if its expensive, hair-brained or it's obvious I won't actually be able to do what I say I want to. I know you've got my back.

23. You love toys...almost as much as our 5 year old. I am amazed you can sit and play legos for so long! Which leads me to my next one...

24. You are Nate's best friend. Well his best dude actually. He wants to be just like you and do everything you do. I would love it if he turned out to be just like you.


25. You and Ellie have the same facial expressions, it makes me laugh whenever I see you two together!


26. You hate it when I swear. I can't help it sometimes!

27. You always fall asleep watching movies. Always. See #6.

28. If you were to ever sing to me the song would be "I love Technology, but not as much as you, you see."

28. You are the epitome of "slow to anger". Sometimes I try to pick a fight with you just to see how you will react....nothin'.

29. You don't like calling attention to yourself, but you do like having red hair because it sets you apart.

30. I won't go into to much detail, but you are totally hot! ;)

31. Sometimes I think I don't deserve you...

32. But like "our" song says..."I can't help falling in love with you!"


Happy Birthday Eric!!!
