Happy Birthday To My Main Squeeze +

Today is Nick's 24th birthday and he already received the only gift that I had gotten for him for his birthday so I feel like a complete failure. Nick's birthday always gets shoved into the back of the closet behind some large jeans I had when I went through my fat stage as a sophmore and also a sweater with fur on it that I can't bear to wear because I feel a little too Ed Hardy in it. I think that the cute Christmas background and header that should be on my blog instead of Halloween ghosts is back there too... It is because it is around crazy ThanksChristmasNewYear time where you spend the last two months of the year going through 30 tanks of gas, 5 pies, 2 sheets of brownies, 4 cartons of eggnog, 2 family houses, 100+ barrels of that tin canned cheesy/normal/caramel popcorn, two scales that crushed under your insanely disgusting increase in body weight and you haven't even reached New Years Eve yet. See, now all of the sudden we are talking about a triple holiday disaster and this is supposed to be an ode to Nick. Time to get back on track. So I give you 24 reasons my husband is better than yours.

1. He made me breakfast in bed, blueberry muffins and milk I should say, my Sunday favorite.
2. Even though he probably fears for his life that I am going to give him some awful haircut that resembles that of someone that cuts their own hair with a flobee, he lets me do it.
3. He lays on the floor to be by Shelbie when she is whiney even though it cakes his black slacks in 4 inches of dog hair that has to be vacuumed off by a vacuum with the sucking power of a supernatural black hole.
4. He always smells good. Always.
5. No matter how annoying my shrill voice that sounds like the guinea pig on G force gets, he says it's adorable.
6. He hasn't said a word about hearing me practice my weekly piano songs two hundred times before church on Sundays.
7. He is dead sexy. Booyahhh.
8. Even though they last for about 22.1 seconds, he gives wonderful back rubs.
9. He hasn't banned me from the kitchen even though any time I cook something on the stove top our entire house fills with smoke and permeates it with the scent of fajita chicken.
10. He asked me for a Christmas list even though he knew exactly what would be on it.
11. He may not admire the messes I make, but he always admires what comes out of those messes.
12. He is ok with the thousands of headbands and ribbons that assault him any time he tries to pick something up off of the bathroom counter.
13. He is a very hard worker and said this to me today, "Work is what we live for right?" I told him I had a list of better things in mind.
14. He is very dedicated and loyal. If anyone has any doubts in trusting anyone in this world, they need to meet Nick.
15. He never gives up on me, and tries to cheer me on despite the stresses he himself is under.
16. He is the best at Black Ops and will whoop you if ever given the chance.
17. He changed his shield on Xbox to pink because I told him he should to resemble me.
18. He is very clean and organized, a trait not common among the typical man.
19. He always puts the toilet seat down. Winner right here, I know. Envy me.
20. He is into staying healthy. I am into this because it means that if I play my cards right, he will outlive me by at least an hour which I am really counting on.
21. He always makes sure that I have the things I need, and even things I don't need.
22. He always protects me from the things that go bump in the night, even though it takes me ten minutes and 100 shakes to wake him up.
23. He can always come up with a random name for you on the spot like his mind has a roladex of silly words that he pieces together.
24. He loves me and Shelbie more than anything in the world even though we are a mess maker and a hair doner.

I love you babe! I hope you have a good birthday! You know in six months I will give you more gifts. xoxo.
