myomyron

my better half turned 29 last week.

i love this guy more than life.
& i shall festively list 29 reasons why.

***

1. for starters: he's hot.

2. he is highly animated & extremely passionate about life.
these are two genes he {definitely} passed down to our chlo-ster.
[and i love him for it.]

3. he's a guy's guy.
a man's man.
a boy through & through.

4. he really likes to be on time & productive & rise from his bed early-ish,
but he's also okay with sleeping in, and being lazy with me from time to time.

5. he makes really tasty, good food, [on command.]

6. his uncanny ability to make an awkward situation {a lot} less awkward via his hilarious humor.
{this is good: because i am the queen of awkward situations/comments.}

7. his sincere desire to serve his peeps on his weeks off.
anyone need a ceiling fan hung?
or a bed moved?
or blinds installed?

8. he is truly one of the tenderest most hands-on daddys ever.
[he is currently busting out "popcorn popping" with chloe....hilarious animated actions included.]

9. myron is not afraid to stand up for his beliefs. he is firm. and bold. and strong. and very opinionated. [and proud of it.]

10. he is always up for a QT run.

11. he'll live in an 8x8 prison cell, eat less-than-desirable cafeteria food, put up with MUCH-less-than-desirable surroundings, drive a haul-truck that smells like nicotine & BO around the mine for 13+ hours a day, miss his family dearly, and rarely complain about it...all to support, protect, provide, and honorably serve his girls.

12. he is a loyal friend.
he'd be there for his bros
{especially bryan a., brian n., seth, todd & julio}
rain or stinkin' shine.
fer reals.

13. he's an adorably obsessive researcher/shopper/gift-giver. whether it's finding the most inexpensive electronic item, or a perfect greenhouse for clodhopper that he wishes he could afford to buy for her.

14. he balances me out, calms me down, and makes me smile.

15. he shares my extreme love of 90's alternative music.
[foo, chili peppers, fountains of wayne, seven mary three, cake, weezer, etc.]
*oh, except U2, he LOATHES U2.

16. he is rough & manly & so dang attractive.

17. he is serious about his sports: suns, asu, ufc.
he also means business when it comes to ps3.
*ask him about his rockband, no smoking.

18. he believes in living the gospel truthfully & honestly.
[what you see is what you get.]
no going through the motions for myron: he does it 'cause he wants to.

19. he's thoughtful.
[and i have a-half-a-dozen sweetest voice mails saved on our answering machine to prove it.]

20. he is tight with my little brother eric.
{a pre-requisite to us getting married.}

21. he loves his family h-core.
his mom.
his dad.
his sisters audrey & bridget.
the dogs. [which are also humans.]
his grandparents.
his cousins.
his name.
his heritage.

22. he has the most amazing green eyes, freckles by his eyes, and smile lines by his eyes.
by far: my favorite myron-trait.

23. he knows that if you put a can of pepsi in the freezer for 70 minutes, it'll be iced perfection.
{and he's willing to wait that long for perfection.}

24. he loves ireland.
he thinks he's irish and maybe a leprechaun.
{we are contemplating scheduling my c-section for march 17th.}

25. myron is the most non-high-school guy ever.
he loves people for who they are.
social-status, religion, appearance is never a factor.

26. myron went from amazing-chef-debra for a mom
to crappy-cook-angie as a wife.
and he n'er complains, always encourages, and loves me just the same.

27. he is a good mix of confidence & down-to-earth-ness.
he's humble, but tries not to sell himself short.

28. he isn't perfect.
[no one is.]
but he is, in fact, perfect for me.

29. myron is my human security blanket.
{and i kinda find myself needing said blanket often.}

*lucky thing is: it is forever accessible.

happy birth babe.
i just love you.
