Happy Birthday Mike!

A few things you may or may not know about Mike:

• He loves all things '80's. And not in a cool, retro kind of way, more like a thinks-they-never-ended kind of way.
• Coversations with him often include words like "Bio-solids" and "sludge."
• He loves, loves, loves sphaghetti and meatballs.
• He's a bit of a pack-rat. He keeps everything. He did just recently throw out the glass goblet from Junior prom, but Junior High band pins, gords and ceramics from preschool, boy scout projects, greeting cards, model trains he had a child...cool pictures of him in hats...we still have them all.
• He loves free stuff (see above.)
• He still has, and listens to, a record player and a large assortment of vinyl records (again with the '80's.)
• He's a Super Scouter!
• He can fix or build (and sometimes break) just about anything.
• He's allergic to grass (good thing we have a live-in lawn service.)
• He gives blood whenever he can.
• He loves to read, especially biographies, non-fiction and historical stuff.
• He has read the unabridged version of Les Miserables which includes a lengthy section devoted to the complicated Parisian sewer system (you know, bio-solids, sludge....)
• People always think he is quiet...unless they have watched BYU football with him.
• He likes to spend time with his children...takes them to movies, football games, baseball games, miniature golfing, out to dinner, toy shopping, museums....
• He is kind and thoughtful and often makes me smile...especially when I am trying to be grumpy!
• He takes me on a date every week.
• He is a great husband and I am very happy that he is mine!

Happy Birthday Sweetie! I love you!
