My Wonderful Husband


Eric's birthday was last week, so I am a bit late on this. BUT, I want to post a list of things that I LOVE about my most favorite person in the whole world, in no specific order. This is not a complete list, of course. I could never have enough time or paper to type out absolutely everything I love about Eric!

1. He loves me deeply and unconditionally.
2. He is a WONDERFUL Daddy.
3. He makes me laugh so hard I cry and have trouble breathing. This happens regularly. Sometimes I snort.
4. He makes the most delicious coffee drinks and stir fry. Usually not at the same time.
5. He would sacrifice his sleep, health, and time to take care of his family.
6. He loves Jesus, strives to live for Him and glorify His Name!
7. He knows just how to make me smile when I need it most. This usually involves the word "Starbucks" or "Frosty".
8. We play video and computer games together. Somehow, being nerds together makes us happy.
9. He has huge plans for our future, and wants me to experience so many places and things.
10. He knows how to make Audrey giggle in the most adorable way.
11. He always believes in me. Even though I have the most ridiculous ideas sometimes.
12. He is easily entertained. An authentic Chinese restaurant delivered a menu to the houses in our neighborhood recently, and it ended up being full of hilarious linguistic mistakes. I think he found all of them and we laughed about them together.
13. He is very patient, a quality I lack altogether. No comments from the peanut gallery. :)
14. He is laid back and takes things in stride. We balance each other out perfectly.
15. He is my best friend.
16. He is my soul mate. Cliche, but true. :)
17. He is an amazing athlete. There isn't a single sport he couldn't play. He is AMAZING at frisbee golf!
18. He watches chick flicks with me sometimes. This is how I knew he was a keeper!!!! lol.
19. He is very witty and can think clearly in difficult or complex situations.
20. He doesn't hold grudges.
21. He kills bugs for me. Really, really, really big, nasty ones, and small ones too. *nod*
22. Because of him, I can recognize any Phil Collins song.
23. He makes Taco Bell runs in the middle of the night.
24. He is always willing to try new things.
25. His generosity and kindness is stunning and infectious.
26. He can teach himself almost any song on the guitar, and I love to hear him play.
27. We're on the same wavelength. Sometimes I randomly blurt out a fraction of my thoughts and he'll know exactly what I'm talking about without me explaining it.

I love you Eric. I always have and always will! I praise God that He placed you in my life and I am so excited for the rest of our lives together!

California Dreamin :)

I promise I have not forgotten the birthday pics. If you wait for it... they will come. :D Here are my OTHER promised pics, the wonderful memories from Audrey and my trip to CA last week! Beware - lots and lots of pics here.

Celebrating Kim's birthday at Chipotle ~ YUM~. Kim is excited, if you didn't notice.

My grandmas! Much love.

Beautiful Balboa Beach. Kim had her birthday party here. There was a bonfire, lots of friends and family, yummy food, and even volleyball. It was great fun!!

My Dad and Audrey, distracted by all of the loud beach noises.


Group shot! :)

Kim, Grams and I. You don't need to tell me I'm pasty white, ok? geesh.

I was amazed at how well this shot turned out. I love it.


Balboa Pier. *sigh* I miss this.

A few days later, Audrey and I went to Laguna Beach with my mom and Grams.
It was overcast, but still gorgeous. This is my favorite beach.





I love this pic. If only Audrey looked a little happier! :)

I also love this pic!! *poke baby belly and laugh at funny baby expressions*









Mom, Dad, Audrey and I had a really nice walk around Balboa Island.
I just love the beach and ocean, can you tell? Did I mention I love the ocean?

I love my Mom and Dad :)

Audrey hamming it up for the camera.

Peace.

We were eating lunch one day, and Audrey had a piece of cheese stuck on her nose. She had no idea it was there, but we were all laughing at her, so she thought it was hilarious!


That is all for now. My dad took some wonderful pics also,
which I will post soon. Sorry friends, I need to run!
