28 Things About my 28 year old!

1. Sometimes I think he isn't very talkative, but I am beginning to realize I am TOO talkative and he is just normal.


2. Lee is always in a good mood! So on the days when I am a "Debbie Downer" I can't help but be happier when I am around him. He says "well if something or someone makes you mad, you chose to be mad and they don't care if you are, so you might as well not let it bug you."


3. He is a part time professional carpenter. He can attribute it to the days back at Ginger & Pickles where he worked in high school. When they weren't busy taping someone to a table, they were making amazing birdcages and "Amish handmade goods" and he picked up quite a few useful skills.


4. Lee is one of the best dancers I have met. He used to go with his friends in highschool to dance parties and dance the night away. Hardly ever with girls, just for the fun of it. I on the other hand have NO grace or coordination.


5. If Lee could go to the Lake at LEAST once a week all year round nothing would make him happier.


6. When we are getting ready in the morning Lee has way more on his to do list than I do. So what if I forget to put lotion on my legs on Sunday morning... Lee on the other hand, must finish everything in his routine.

7.Lee is 6 out of 7 kids.

8. I think one time when we were 1st married Lee said he liked Almond Joys, so for a while I (and my whole family) thought that was his all time favorite candy bar and we would buy them for him for any special occasion. Finally he told us "Uh guys I like lots of other candy bars too."

9. Lee dated my best friend before his mission and I helped her write him his whole mission. Little did Lee or I know that we would end up together.

10. We even lived with my best friend and her husband for a few months after we were married while our house was getting finished being built. We were married! Like anything happened.


11. Lee doesn't like seafood or sushi.


12. Lee went to Brazil on his mission and loves brigadeiro *Thanks Catheys!

13. Until Sunday I thought I knew Lee's favorite ice cream, apparently its butter pecan and he hasn't had it for over 6 years! Just tell me you like it Lee! I'll buy it for you!


14. Lee just got a new job at University of Phoenix! Yeahoo... let the rat race begin! He is finishing some schooling there and then working towards a masters in International Business.


15. Lee has the best nails ever (yeah fingernails, I know weird and TMI) but they are so thick and sometimes I covet them.


16. Lee enjoys graphic design... and is pretty good at it!


17. When Lee was in high school he was a wrestler. Yep that means he spent his high school years wearing a singlet. I thank my lucky stars I never saw him in it!

18. Lee is the best Dad to our little girlies! He is forever giving them pony rides and swinging them and the little baby we watch during the week totally loves him more than me! jerk.

19. Lee sleeps in a pink room and is still a confident man. :)


20. He is the better pancake maker in the relationship. Apparently I have confidence issues, because we never have pancakes!


21. Secretly Lee wishes he was Wolverine from X-Men. "You picked the wrong house, bub."


22. Lee never complains at the neverending honey-do list I give him.


23. Out of the 6 years we've been married Lee has probably received.. oh maybe 5 or 6 back rubs. (and given at least 600) He is so selfless.


24. Lee is so good at lining up suprises for me, like for Mothers' Day or our Anniversery. He always thinks of creative things to do that are sooo much fun!

25. Lee is amazed at how much money girls (cough.. me) can spend. "Why don't you want to just put it all in a savings account?" he asks. Maybe someday he'll learn :)


26. Lee would love to live in another country someday to serve the community and do church work.


27. Lee got the "skinny jeans" from his Grandpa Schnepf. No matter what he eats he will ALWAYS have skinnier legs than me. I've learned to accept it.

28. Lee is up for having like 7 kids. Think we'll make it?



Happy happy birthday Lee! You are the best man ever in my, Eden and Delia's lives! We love you so much and hope you had a Happy Birthday!

Lots of Love,

Your Girlies!

I have such an extraordinary family. Thanks, Lee, for being a part of it. I remember us being buddies when you were little. You have grown into an amazingly wonderful person - and married a fantastic girl - oh, and your girls are so cute (of course!).
