Happy B-Day to Dr. Bedke

Happy Birthday to my husband Brent.  He is 29 today so he has to enjoy this last year in his twenties to the fullest.

My friend Emily did this for me on my birthday so I am going to do it for Brent.

29 things I like about Brent

1. He's very smart. Whenever he talks about something he usually knows the source of where he learned it from.

2. He never takes anything too seriously.  Even when it's me throwing fits or him having cancer.

3. He is a money saver.  Sometimes this attribute drives me crazy but at night I go to sleep feeling really grateful that I have someone who is in control of expenses.

4.  He can tease someone about anything.  I really mean anything.  Even the things I tease him about he will manage to switch it around on me and start teasing me for the things he does.

5. He has great hair.  I love the color and it is very thick which I hoping will stay that way.  So far so good.

6. He likes to hike and is always thinking of a new place to go.

7. He is a planner. He knows what he wants way ahead of time.

8. He calls me princess which when we first got married I thought he was just a joke but he still does it everyday.

9. He is probably the lowest maintenance person on the planet.

10. He is a bad ass at badminton. 

11.  He knows almost anything you ask him about.  I don't know how he manages to keep up with so much information along with med school.

12. He likes to cuddle which to him means to lay on top of me and breathe hot air into my face.

13. He has never lost his temper in all the time I have known him.

14. He is just like little boy who wears shin socks and sneakers all of the time. 

15. He really wants a kitten and asks me constantly when we can get one.

16. He is very handy around the house.  He put in the wood floors in the kitchen and tiled the bathrooms. He says next he is going to make me new carpet. 

17. He was MVP at City Cup. He didn't even care that he threw up in front of everyone.

18. He throws up if he runs too much.

19. He likes modern design almost as much as I do.

20. He is very helpful around the house, doing dishes or cleaning up.

21. He is going to be my birth coach and has been attending a 12 week birthing class with me even though the teacher is a hippie who obviously doesn't like the medical world or hospitals. Also, he has promised me that he won't tease me during labor. That is a feat in itself, or maybe he just fears for his life.

22. He is going to be a doctor in less than a year. A real life doctor. Enough said.

23. He is reliable, good person who I can trust all of the time. He is always so good about doing what he needs to for his church callings, etc.

24. His first kiss was when he was thirteen with some girl he met at Disneyland.  They kissed going down Splash Mountain.

25. He was a rebel in high school. Once he threw a party when his parents were out of town and his grandma was upstairs sleeping.  He thought she wouldn't hear them downstairs but she ended up calling the cops on him.

27. He listens to me whenever I need him to.

28. His dancing skills are amazing.

29. He is all around the best package of a husband and I am so glad that I tricked him into marrying me. Translate that sentence anyway you want to because I know exactly how Brent will translate the words 'best package' in relation to himself.

P.S.  On my way to TRAX this morning I saw a pigeon with a four inch needle through it's foot.  I felt like I was a kid watching the movie of the birds who choke because they put their heads into the six-pack plastic rings. I wonder who leave needles around for pigeons to step on.
