Happy of Happiest Birthdays, Scott!!!
In honor of your 33rd, I thought it would be apropos to let you know a few things. Ahem, drum roll please........
In no particular order, here are 33 Things I Love About YOU:
33. Your sense of humor--so goofy and over the top at times, but truly one of your best
qualities.
32. The way you know, when I'm crying, to "dab, not wipe" my tears away.
31. Your intense loyalty to your family and friends.
30. Your inherent sense of right and wrong, and your willingness to stand up and fight for
what you believe in.
29. You clean and do chores without me having to even ask. Heck, you think of things that need
to be done around the house that I would never dream of, and you get them done.
28. The way you smell when you leave for work in the morning--yum!!!
27. All the inside jokes that we've shared over the past seven years ("a little or a lot, a little or
medium?").
26. Our musical repertoire--the girls have no idea that they are the offspring of such lyrical
geniuses!
25. Your various pecadilloes, which although, annoying--are still endearing.....I certainly don't
comprehend how one person can leave such a watery mess around the sink in the morning,
but it never fails to make me smile.
24. Your total devotion to and adoration of our girls--they couldn't have hoped for a better dad.
23. The little things you do to make my life special (i.e.: you knew how upset I was about not
being able to decorate for Xmas when we moved out here, and you had the NYC apartment
all decked out for me when I arrived!).
22. The sound of your laugh, especially when you're having a good belly laugh--I love how your
whole body shakes with glee when you're particularly amused by something and the tears
start to sneak out of the corners of your eyes.
21. You cook. And you do it as well as somebody whose had high-end, formal training. Your
culinary creativity is amazing, and I've had some of the best meals of my life because of
your talents.
20. The way you look in jeans--umm, hello delicious!
19. Your appreciation of the simple things.
18. Your faith, and the way you've never faltered in your beliefs. I've learned a lot from you,
and my faith is stronger as a result of the example you've set..
17. Your work ethic--admirable, impressive, and inspiring. You work harder than anyone I
know, and I'm so proud of all that you've accomplished, especially lately--WOW.
16. Your modesty....again, it floors me at times that anytime you are rewarded for your efforts,
you act as if it's no big deal--you appreciate being recognized, but remain humble at all
times.
15. Your hugs.
14. Your persistence, and patience--you certainly need more than your share of both, living
with me.
13. You know the proper way to take my socks off.
12. Your dimples and the way your smile lights up your whole face (Julia gets that from you).
11. The way you keep turning all of our white linens pink because it's just too hard to remember
that the red throw rug cannot be washed with whites.
10. The perma-grin you have when it comes to all things Kate & Julia--you never tire of talking
about them, just as you never tire of being with them.
9. Our Friday night routine, love it.
8. Your willingness to give me the day off from Mommy-duty--you never make me feel like
I'm asking too much of you.
7. The way you have to be enveloped in a cocoon of pillows when you sleep.
6. Your uncanny ability to know what I'm thinking and put my thoughts into words before I
can even open my mouth.
5. You NEVER forget my birthday or our anniversary.
4. You write the best love letters.
3. Your committment to giving all three of "your girls" the best life possible.
2. The way you claim to hate cheese, but yet, you're always eating it, in various forms.
1. You're mine, not in a "Fatal Attraction" kind of way, more of a "you had me at hello" kind of
thing. I'm so lucky to be loved by you, and to have you to love. We have a beautiful life
together, and I wouldn't change a thing about it.
Happy Birthday, my love--I'm counting down the hours until you come home tonight.
