31 things you never knew about my Husband.

July 21st, 2009

1.  He always sleeps on his left shoulder on the smallest  possible amount of bed on the left side.  There is usually a dog by his feet and a two year old often has both feet shoved in his Daddy’s kidneys.

2.  He gives the best rendition of Green Eggs and Ham you have EVER heard.  The Son’s (and mine) favorite part is when he pretends he is underwater.

3.  He brings me my half a pill every single night.

4.  He takes an entire handful of vitamins at the same time.

5.  The air conditioner was broken in the hospital the day he was born.  His mother loves him anyway.

6. He had Garfield checks when we first met.

7.  Even though he now listens to Rush and Glenn Beck almost daily, he voted for Bill Clinton.

8.  He and our Son have the same middle name.  Among many other traits.

9.  He is a tee-totaler, meaning he will not even sip alcohol.

10.  When he was a teenager–he….well lets just say that he did more than sipping of wine coolers.

11.  He wants to wear khaki pants and a blue polo to work everyday.  He wants to wear khaki shorts and a brown or blue t-shirt at all other times.

12.  He helps The Son make me a cross for my collection every mother’s day.

13.  He graduated high school when he was 17.

14.  He likes to swim in pools way more than in lakes or oceans or rivers because he “can see the bottom, and what lives there.”

15.  He hates to shave, only does it when it starts to hurt my chin when I kiss him.

16.  He can fix anything.  ANYTHING.  He says his dad taught him.

17.  Our first kiss was really, really awkward.  He is a really good kisser now.  But no one gets to test and see if I am telling the truth.  Just trust me–I see stars.

18.  When we first met, he said he hated Chinese food.  Now it is his favorite.

19.  When he was a little boy he said he wanted seven children.  Now he just wants one….maybe two.

20.  He once bought a girl a five hundred dollar Barbie doll.   She broke his heart.  I am glad.

21.  He is constantly surrounded by a cloud of coax cables.

22.  He hangs every picture The Son has ever painted him in his office.

23.  He makes this horrible sound in the back of his throat when his allergies are bothering him.  His allergies are always bothering him.

24.   Right after we got married, I threw away every single pair of underwear he owned and bought him all new Old Navy boxers.  I overdrew our checking account in doing so, and he still said thank you.

25.   He is slightly afraid of spiders.  He thinks they are all black widows.

26.  He used to idolize Kurt Cobain–and credits Kurt’s death as what turned him around as a teenager.  So I guess, Thanks Kurt!  You might want to go check on your daughter now.

27.  He can build a mean block tower.  He started practicing really young.

004

28.  He is incredibly fiscally responsible.  Ask me about how our vacation to Jamaica got turned into Destin.

29.  He was a boyscout for forever, and missed being an eagle scout because of when his birthday fell.

30.  We disagree on how old The Son should be when he gets to watch Star Wars.  He had seen it by 5.  Guess who his favorite character was.

31.   He is 31 today.  Happy Birthday Darlin.

    I love you so much…..only a few corrections

    :)

    20. It wasn’t one at 500 dollars, more like multiples totaling over 500 dollars–think 150 to 100 a piece…still a total waste and yes, I’m glad she broke my heart as well. It let me meet, fall in love with, and marry you!

    21. the cloud would be cat5 (network to the layman) cables

    25. I know black widows….every other spider that is brown is a brown recluse though…it’s true!!!! Unless it’s a wolf spider, and that’s a whole different story. Ask me about it sometime.

    Happy birthday to your hubby! Mine turns 31 this year too – this is a great way to tribute them. Might have to *borrow* the idea… if I can remember all the way into December.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day – I love reading yours, too! Please feel free to add it to your blogroll if you’d like.

    Hey, happy birthday Mr. Huckablog!

    As for #30…I vote never. It’s worked for me! :)

    I’m crying…as I often do when I read this blog. I canNOT believe this incredible man is my son, my precious 7 lb. 8 oz. darling baby boy born in the middle of a blazing-hot day. And equally amazing is the blessings this little Huckablog family has received in the gift of his wife and son. I thank God quite often for them both.

    Thank you, my son, for the lovely memories of raising you (some selective memories perhaps??) and for the loving grown son you have become. Oh…and thank you for wanting your little brother before he was born and for continuing to love and want him as your little brother these past 27 years.

    Side note: My mother and I made that Darth Vader costume for his 4th Halloween…he wore it until it was WAY past his elbows and knees too-short! In fact, I think I still have it somewhere.

    You will always be my favorite first-born son!
    With every ounce of my being, I love you…….Mom

    We are just today celebrating this wonderful man’s birthday at Grandpa and Grammy’s house today. Though it throws off the number I’ll add to the list number 32. I can’t imagine anyone else filling the role of Hey You’s husband, The Son’s Daddy and our son-in-law. You’re the best. I hope you’ve had a happy birthday week.
