Today is the fourth anniversary of my best half’s 7th birthday. In honor of this day I’d like to share a few of the reasons why this guy is my favorite that you might not already be aware of. Don’t expect a bunch of mushy stuff, we don’t do that ;)
1) When I fractured my right thumb a few years ago he made several attempts to put my hair in a ponytail for me. He definitely achieved the “messy look”.
2) Even though he hates them, he kills spiders for me.
4) He has two kinds of days: Good Days & Great Days. I don’t think the phrase “bad day”even exists in his vocabulary.
5) I may or may not have cut his hair horribly one time. He just laughed. We still laugh about it actually. Seriously, how hard can it be to trim around the ears?
6) He is the most frugal person I know and appreciates all of the little things life has to offer like breakfast for dinner and comics in the Sunday paper. I’ve learned a lot about the difference between things I “want” and things I “need” from this guy and appreciate the things I have much more because of it.
7) He would give you the shirt off of his back even if it was the last thing he had of his own. It might be a little sweaty, or smell like fire if he’s been at work, and he'd end up naked, but he’d still offer it.
8) He is extremely humble. I am always on his case about taking credit for the things he has worked hard for or done well, but I think that is a battle I will never win.
9) He once rescued me from a “murderer” in the attic of my Aunt & Uncle’s house. The light in the attic was on when it hadn’t been on any other night. I assumed the switch was in the attic, which clearly meant a murderer was in there waiting to attack once I fell asleep. I've seen too many episodes of Law & Order. I called Aaron panicked. When he arrived I answered the door with the biggest knife I could find in hand. Needless to say, the switch to the attic was in the guestroom. I had been in that room earlier to feed the cat and accidentally turned the switch on. I can’t believe he continued to date me after that.
10) Last but certainly not least, he had the courage (because he thought this would backfire big time) to tell me last week that he’d like to label the shelves in our refrigerator. Apparently putting yogurt on the milk and juice shelf is a waste of space and I need direction. I was literally on the ground laughing. Have at it, label away.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON!
