You know, marrying someone after 12 years of knowing each other makes for an incredibly easy transition into marriage; there were very few surprises. But we are still getting to know each other, and since Shawn doesn't do sappy, I thought I might reveal some fun facts that I have discovered about him in our quick 6 years of marriage:
1. He still ties a bow using the bunny ears method. And he refuses to learn how to loop, swoop, and pull.
2. He has his own made up language. Don't ask!
3. He hates closet doors and has removed them everywhere we have lived.
4. He LOVES cookies and eats an entire batch in one sitting. It's probably good that I am terrible at baking.
5. He "sleeps" with socks on...
6. He is incredibly logical and therefore really struggles with the Old Testament.
7. He LOVES to be outside. Preferably at a baseball game or playing softball.
8. He is VERY organized and tidy. And throws close to everything away. Sore subject here!
9. He likely has NEVER cleaned a bathroom, especially a toilet. So he may be tidy, but doesn't know much about the cleaning part (we joke that if I wasn't in the picture, he'd need house cleaners).
10. He does NOT fight. We don't fight. If I get mad, he calms the storm. It's a gift really.
11. He has lost 3 wedding rings in our first 3 years. He no longer wears a wedding band. :(
12. He is often a grinch about most things, and loves me with all his grinch size heart!!!
13. He is a beyond loyal friend. I heard a quote, "You gotta take care of your friends or you could lose them." Shawn truly nurtures friendships.
14. He dislikes people who act like their pets are humans.
15. He's mostly insensitive and not so romantic. Maybe one day he will dote and coddle.
16. He is a mouth breather, snorer, and allergy fighter.
17. With those allergies, he blows his nose louder than a trumpet. Holy wake up the neighborhood!
18. He loves jeopardy and is the smartest person I know.
19. BUT he knows nothing about anatomy or physiology (myo, cardio, or pulmo???) Good thing he is not a doctor!
20. He is an avid reader and reads faster than anyone I know. 52 books/year!
21. He hates the smell of tuna fish and hard boiled eggs. Of which I eat lots!
22. He is a social drinker. He only drinks SODA in a social setting, never any other time.
23. He has a great singing voice, but hides it under a bushel.
24. He is an over-analyzer which makes decision making a long drawn out process. The day we buy a new car or house will be interesting and gut wrenching!
25. He separates his tiny little Trident gums into thirds so that they will last longer. Teeny tiny pieces of gum!
26. When he gets a meal, he has to cut all before consumption. I am a cut as you go kind of person, Shawn is not. So I am close to done with my meal by the time he even starts cause he has been spending his time cutting and preparing his food.
27. He has super sensitive eyes. He has NEVER been to the eye doctor and can't even handle eye drops. You should see the freak outs it causes.
28. He is a multi-tasker, unlike most men (and I am NOT, unlike most women). He HAS to be doing at least two things at once, usually 3 or more though. This includes in the car. Watch out!!!
29. He has to be right! And in most cases, is right!
30. He is weird in the morning. Okay, I'll be honest, he is weird MOST of the time.
31. He loves warm hugs. Usually at the most inopportune time.
32. He has an obsession with popping toes. I don't mind it cause I usually get a foot rub out of it.
33. He has the air on in the car year round. Total freeze out!! Brr!
34. His trademark is funny Sunday socks.
35. He loves yard sales....especially ones outside of Utah.
AND he's ALL mine folks!!!!
Happy Anniversary Honey Bunch!!!
