Happy Birthday Colin!

Today is Colin's 26th. In the tradition of last year I thought it would be fun to do 26 things you may or may not know about Colin (including reasons I love him)

1. favorite food: still cereal!
2. type of cereal: Quaker Oat Squares, Life (cinnamon), Basic Four
3. favorite show: Deadliest Catch, Tuesday nights at 10 pm and even though we have DVR he still wants to stay up late and watch it the night that it is on even at the expense of being tired the next day at work
4. other favorite shows: The Unit, The Mentalist
5. will watch American Idol with me
6. loves Jonas (our dog), is more of a sucker then me, lets him sleep at his side of the bed on the floor
7. dream vacation: Forgi Island, off the coast of Ireland (he has never been there but wants to really bad)
8. hobbies: has recently taken indoor rock climbing
9. just got a new job as the manager of UCRM (yes the same clinic we are going to for IVF), will be a little awkward for him at first, what a good guy
10. since being on all of these hormones I am a little more needy and he has been so sweet about it
11. wants an ATV, boat, motorcycle and a gun (none of which are going to happen any time soon)
12. loves tools!!!!!
13. is quite the handyman, since moving into our new home he can fix just about anything, its great!
14. is still happiest when his head, neck, back or arms are being tickled
15. our song: James Taylor "Up on the Roof" as of James Taylor concert in August 2008
16. has been growing his beard since August, longest record yet since being married
17. likes to talk in a Russian accent
18. calls me Monkey
19. saves every dime
20. plans ahead
21. follows through
22. not a procrastinator
23. is in school for his masters in Health Administration while working full-time and starting his new job in 1 week while going through all the IVF stuff( he will get his biopsy next week then have to start his new job a few days later, poor guy), he is AMAZING!
24. never yells or criticizes me, always kind, meek and loving
25. loves his twin brother, they text millions of times per day and work together (not for much longer though :( )
26. last but not least, Colin is the best husband I could have ever asked for, my biggest support, strength and happiness

Happy Birthday! This a.m. I took him for a rifle shooting lesson where we learned how to shoot clay pigeons. It was fun. Tonight we are off to SLC to go out to dinner with his family and see Wicked!!!! Can't wait! Pictures to follow soon.
