Happy 25th Birthday David!

In honor of Dave's 25th birthday today, I thought I would list 25 facts/tidbits that I love about my husband.

1. He speaks Spanish. (This was actually the first thing that caught my attention.)

2. He is very smart. School comes easily to him. This has been a major blessing in our lives for the past 2 1/2 years.

3. I really believe he could do anything he wants to do and he would do well. It seems like everything he has tried his whole life he did well. For example, I watched this music video he made in high school for a friend's band, and I'm amazed at it.

4. He has more natural artistic ability than I do.

5. I have never seen a more affectionate, playful Dad. He loves Ana so much and often reminds me to stop and enjoy her. He's always willing to take her for a while when I need a break.

6. He likes being around friends and family. He's always been really close to his family, and likes going home. He gets along with my siblings too, which is important to me. He likes having company at our house too.

7. He's very concerned about whether he's doing a good job as Young Men's President. I think this is a sign that he is!

8. You wouldn't know it, but he was very shy when he was younger. His mission to Chile totally changed that.

9. He was really into Mountain Biking when he was in high school.

10. He wants to do a triathlon next summer.

11. He really enjoys fishing and wants to find a really good spot close to here where he can go. He's learning to fly fish.

12. He'll eat whatever I make for dinner, even if its not his favorite.

13. He loves fry sauce. He talked about having a "fry sauce fountain" at our wedding and serving cheeseburgers and fries. He makes really good fry sauce too.

14. He likes video games.

15. He likes the Simpsons.

16. I grew up thinking both 14 and 15 were evil. He's won me over.

17. He doesn't get upset easily.

18. He's a night owl. But, so am I. When we were engaged, we always said once we were married we'd go to bed early cuz the only reason we stay up late is to be together. It's never changed.

19. He wore a pink vest at our wedding, which I loved.

20. He's stubborn. I need that sometimes.
21. He'll eat anything taco flavored - taco soup, taco salad, chicken tacos, etc. And he'll eat the leftovers, which he usually doesn't do.

22. He is always willing to drive wherever we go. That is good, because I don't really love driving.

23. He thinks I'm good at a lot of things, even though I'm less sure.

24. He thinks I look good when I've just worked out. Maybe thats because every time I saw him when we first met, I had just finished a work out.

25. He's sitting on the couch right now trying to figure out what his birthday presents are. Its making me laugh. He can be such a snoop! I hope you like them honey!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I love you!!!!

I always thought that video games and The Simpsons were bad. Now, we own the latest Nintendo system (which I enjoy) and we watch The Simpsons (and I laugh).
