2.) "Old Blue" in the garage has never missed an oil change, but he ALWAYS seems to leave me with a blinking gas light.
3.) Has only had one cavity in his life...and he thinks I am the one who gave it to him!
4.) Never runs yellow lights.
5.) Bought reading glasses because I thought they were "sexy", and then ended up really needing them after they ruined his eyes.

7.) Spent a whole summer vacation (internship) in his grandparents old smelly camper trailer to afford to buy me a wedding ring.
8.) Let the Asian lady in the mall buzz cut his hair to a number "2" because I wouldn't spend the extra money to let my stylist do it (he now routinely goes to Alicia for all his hair needs)!
9.) Always kisses me goodnight!
10.) Was a total sympathy eater while I was pregnant with both of our children.
11.) {extension from #10} Went on Weight Watchers with me after Paige was born...and stuck to it!

13.) Washes the girl's hair {believe me, this is a HUGE job}!
14.) Got me an A+ in chemistry lab in college, because he is soOooO smart {he now tutors Katie [our nanny]}.
15.) Will not let me throw away his 15+ year old "Doc Martins".
16.) Would rather have me tickle his back than anything else in the world.
17.) Looks better in my high heel sandals than I do {long story short, in college when we worked at the pool together (and shoes were mandated) he broke his foot wearing my sandals on an emergency errand for me}.

19.) Makes sure we get to church every week.
20.) He is great at yard work {and most of the time, doesn't complain about doing it}.
21.) Always starts the coffee maker in the morning, and usually drinks all the creamer.
22.) Makes the best "McSchweiggie" breakfast sandwiches on Saturday mornings.
23.) Is the best Daddy in the whole wide world!
24.) Makes better eggies, chili, steaks....hey wait a minute, he is just so great he should just do ALL the cooking!
25.) Took me to my high school dance (I didn't have a date otherwise) even though he was a junior in college.

27.) Can add up any number in his head.
28.) Spends every birthday at someone else's function {like today}.

30.) Even though I can be the biggest pain, he has vowed to spend the next 30+ years with me!
Happy 30th Birthday Chris!!
...and am soooo glad we've come back!!!
Today we spent most of the day outside with Grammie Sally and Papa Joe!!! And because Butte doesn't have any birds other than magpies, we had to improvise!!! It was time to come in when the girls had enough with sharing the watering can and first experience at hula hoops!!
Piper informed me today that she has "always" wanted to work at McDonald's and "Papa can get the buns"!!!
These "old guys" have been sitting at the 10,000 Silver Dollar Saloon since I was a girl ( I guess the one to the left is missing more fingers than I remember).
...I guess minus the trains (as of yet)!!!
*Note to Chris...don't leave your wallet (i.e. credit cards) unattended at 2am, when you live with a night nurse, especially when she's on call and can't sleep!!!
