Today is Craig's Birthday
It is a big one.
I won't divulge the actual number,
although you are free to guess.
While you are guessing I will
share with you 50
things about the man I love!
Craig is... thoughtful
kind
the world's best gift-giver
smart
a romantic
(the young man I dated and fell in love with)
Some Craig-isms we enjoy
If we don't get on that plane we aren't going.
That is one ugly cow.
How about some get smart radio? (NPR)
I hear and obey...
Where is the last place you remember having it?
You can't save me money by spending my money!
I go to work everyday - you go to school - doing well in school is your job!
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!
(the man I married)
Craig is a great father
The girls love...
his nicknames
his made-up songs
dancing hands
letting them "shift" in the Tracer
going shopping with him
(where he buys things I NEVER buy them
candy, magazines, extra make-up, etc)
his jig-of-joy
Things he has taught:
the value of hard work
try to do one thing more
don't shoot the volunteers
help where you are able
have integrity
be responsible
He loves:
history
geography
the Civil War
fantasy/science fiction
the National Geographic
Christmas music
Faure
Saint-Saens
Boston
Alison Kraus
organ music
USU
handwoven rugs
old maps
travel
very nice hotels
very good food
Zion National Park
Because of Craig, we love:
Christmas
Disneyland and Disney World
Puzzles
Nutella
Pistachios
Cadbury Eggs
Ritter Sport
Saturday Doughnuts
(fondly referred to as Craig Doughnuts by family/friends)
Farmer's Markets
Craig always:
**spoiler alert**
fills the Christmas stockings and Easter baskets
does the weekly grocery shopping (long story - ask if you want details)
cooks Sunday dinner - except for his 5-yr hiatus while in the bishopric
stays up until everyone is home
That ended up being a few more than 50 - how do you confine yourself to 50 things when someone is a great father, a wonderful husband and truly your best friend?!
Happy Birthday!
