Birthday Celebrations Again!!

It's nonstop birthday days around here! Today is Eric's birthday! He's the big 3-0! I thought this would be like any other birthday to him, but upon talking about it last night I came to realize he's not that excited to be 30. He's actually a little down about the number change. I tried to tell him it's a good thing. The number we've been waiting for. It means we are almost done with school and Eric can get this career of his going. "Exactly!" was his response. 10 years of schooling after high school, this guy still doesn't want to be in the real world!


To try to pep him up I give you my favorite things about him!(Hopefully all this gushing won't get me in trouble!)

• He's dependable. I can count on him for anything.



• He's got great style, but in a manly, tough kind of way!



• He loves kid food. Spaghetti-O's with meatballs, Lucky Charms, corn dogs, pizza pockets, and of course the bubble gum ice cream.



• He loves to be at home. Although this means we aren't the most exciting couple around, I do love that he prefers to be home more than anywhere else.



• The only thing he knows how to cook is French Toast, but it's my favorite and comes in handy both for breakfast and dinner!



• He loves to go see a Broadway show, but in a manly, tough kind of way!



• He's a great gifter. Although we have an agreement to just do small things now, before the kids were born I always had something wonderful for Christmas and birthdays. I am very excited to get him working just to see what he'll get me!



• He is so funny! Lots of people don't know this about him because he can be reserved, but he makes me laugh every day. Mostly repeating one liners from TV and movies.



• He's a great, great dad and the girls love him! Every single morning Ella and Chloe open the blinds and wave to Dad while he gets in his car to leave. Ella doesn't leave the window until the car it out-of-sight. Every single evening, when the car pulls up they run and giggle to find a hiding spot for him to try and find them. It's so cute!


• He's the husband I was hoping he would be when we got married! I love to be with him just as much as when we were dating.

Happy Birthday Eric! We love you!!
