Happy Half Birthday

That is right, I celebrate half birthdays in my house. Why? Simply because I want to. Plus, Nick has his birthday dreadfully close to Christmas and a part of me feels bad that he doesn't get way awesome gifts twice because his wife isn't smart enough to stash money away and he is too kind and spends to much on me for Christmas, sucking any funds for me to use on him dry. Basically what you can get out of that way long sentence is that I feel bad that I get all the good stuff. Just another thing to add to the list of why Nick is so awesome. Since it is his half birthday I am going to list 11 (and a half) reasons why Nick is better than Edward Cullen, Almond Joy ice cream, and new socks.

1- Nick knows how to shop for gifts. (As you see above.) Since day 1 of being together he has always been very thoughtful. This means that I didn't have to hint or buy my own gifts. A quality desired by every woman.

2- Nick is extremely talented and I enjoy having a husband that doesn't suck at anything. Put something in front of him and he will figure it out. Show him how to do something and he will do it on his first try. Pure talent.

3- Nick ALWAYS smells good. You could consider this a talent if you wish.

4- Nick let me paint a wall orange, something that I thought was sure to give him a stroke when I asked. The best part, he picked the orange. I think I am rubbing off on him.

5- Nick puts his mind to something and sticks to it.

6- Nick likes peanut butter. You might find it lame, but it is a quality extremely desired by me.

7- On the way home from our vacation, Nick shielded my sunburned body and squinty eyes from the sun by sliding his chair forward and back. He has his chair where he wants it and finds it very comfortable, so for him to take it out of this position really showed me how much he values my skins condition.

8- Nick surfed behind a boat on his first try. Enough said.

9- Nick can pick you the best fruit with his eyes closed.

10- Nick is always willing to do whatever I need him to do. Whether it be me needing a pair of socks or the New Moon DVD from my parents.

11- Nick is very smart. I won't put what he got in school last semester because I posted it on facebook and the humble boy wasn't too pleased. Let's just say he is perfect.

1/2- Nick is the best
