While I certainly deserve to go to bed right now, my husband deserves a mighty good blogpost even more. He did in fact have a birthday this week - and now he sports the number 35! When I look at all that he has accomplished in this life I can only say "I KNEW IT!" - it has always been easy to see the potential in Eric and it must be said that he has exceeded all expectations. And I must share with you his most amazing qualities...
1. Supportive - we recently attended an event that required nametags - his read "Eric - Jenn's husband" Seriously, that is an act of solidarity.
2. Funny - he still says some funny stuff that makes me laugh until I cry, or pee, or stuff comes out of my nose. ***because it is nearly midnight I can't actually think of anything funny but I can tell you that I spent most of last night at Eric's birthday dinner with my legs crossed :)
3. Great Dad - you've never met a guy who would rather play with his kids than do ANYTHING else - it is actually hard to think of a hobby that Eric has simply because he spends any and all free time with the boys
4. Ingenious - Eric is always coming up with creative solutions to our everyday problems. Most of those solutions include zip ties, glue, duct tape or a special trip to Home Depot but they always result in problems solved. I wonder sometimes if this is why he has a hard time sleeping.
5. Totally the most observant man alive - I try to sneak stuff past him, I really do. He notices everything!!! This has its downsides - but he can remember directions anywhere, has a great eye for style and he'll tell me the honest truth when I need help with an outfit or picking out bedding.
6. Last but not least - Eric is supremely thoughtful! He'll bring me a cup of water, often stops at the grocery store or Costco without being asked, he is ALWAYS willing to watch the kids or give me a break and he is quick to respond to others in need.
Happy Birthday Eric D!
This was breakfast in bed - biscuits and gravy - at his request!His fav is homemade blueberry pie - hence the birthday pie instead of cake!
