My Best Friend and Happy Father's Day!

Tys, my hubby, is my best friend. He is the one I think of first when I have something exciting to share or things I would like to get off my chest. He is there. We sometimes look at each other and marvel that we ever got together because if you know us really well you know that we are very different in many ways (like he was the perfect teen and I was the rebel), but the funny thing is we agree almost 100 % on any subject...though I am way more passionate about my opinions then he is..he keeps me grounded! :)

He is the best dad for our kids and they all adore him. As a matter of fact tonight after he got home from school he sat with Laney for a bit and got waaaaay more vocal sounds, laughter and smiles than I have in 2 days (now how is THAT fair?)! :) So, Happy Father's Day to a great Father and Husband!

Happy Father's Day to my dad a.k.a Granddaddy whom I greatly love and admire!

...and happy Father's Day to my father in law who is a great dad and Grandpa!

Hubby Tag--

I was tagged a LONG time ago by my friend, K, and am just now getting to it! So here goes!!!

Where did you meet? We met the Sunday after he returned from his mission from Russia and I had just moved out here after I graduated from High School. We thought "Not each others type!" ha ha!

How long did you date before you were married? About 3 months dating and 3 months engagement!
How long have you been married? For 11 years on Dec. 19th of this year!!! The longest I had ever had a relationship before that was...2 weeks! ha ha!

What is your favorite quality of his? He is so sincere and gentle and has a respect for people even when they are rude and inconsiderate of him. I'd wanna smack those people down (ok maybe I'd just have nothing to do with them anymore), but he is kind and patient!

What is your favorite feature of his? His eyes...they can see right through you, show you he loves you to pieces and when he's mad...that part makes me laugh! :) Of course I love his smile and laughter! I love to make him laugh!

Does he have a nickname for you? Ummm...no he's not that good at that kind of stuff! Bless his heart, he's tried, but none of them have stuck! It's back to what my family calls me, but even then he hardly calls me by the name!~ok he has informed me that SOMETIMES he calls me Sharoni...not a fave of mine! :)

What is his favorite color? Purple...really it is!

What is his favorite food? He really loves just about anything, but he really likes my lasagna and Elegant Chicken recipes!

What is his favorite sport? See next picture below next question!!! :) No for real, aside from kissin' he LOVES to Rock Climb and repel! I am grateful that he isn't a big sports lover though because that means more time with me and the kids!
When and where was your first kiss? On our best date night, at The Olive Garden, when he had gotten in to 2 car accidents in 10 minutes of each other before he was supposed to get me (none of them his fault) but the date still went on and it was at Big Spring Park he kissed me! The weird thing was that he asked first...always gentleman like (though I thought it kinda weird)! ;)

Do you have any children? Yes...4 and one on the way!

What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? Honestly we just love talking and hanging out together. We love going places and trying new Restaurants and being goofy together too!

How old is he? 32 and ok with it now! ha ha!

What is his favorite type of music? Jazz! He loves tons of others, but I would say that Jazz is his favorite. He loves Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and many more!

What do you admire most about him? That he is 100% dedicated to me and the kids and is great at drawing boundaries with things outside of the family to take care of us if needed and spend as much time with us as he can! He is a very hard worker and is a great support to us!

OH!!! And that he is always sooooo serious!!!
Now I tag...everyone who wants to spotlight their honey!

Midlife Crisis or New Hobby!?!

For Tyson's b-day we let him go rock climbing! He has been excited to do this for quite some time and now his dreams have come true! He is actually taking a class in a couple of weeks, so that he can be certified to take people repelling and climbing. I am soooo excited for that one! When Tyson gets excited about something he really learns a lot about that thing and has to do it! Ever since he hit his 30's he's been a bit more hungry for adventure! Not that I am complaining. I say ,"Bring It On!!!"

I love the great outdoors and am always up for an adventure...of course I have my limitations and am a baby with extreme heights, but if you don't look down you're good, right?

Other news...I bruised my tail bone on Monday. I wish I could say I was doing something really cool to have gotten hurt, but I was playing chase with Tyson and Chad and ran up the stairs and turned quickly and landed on one of the stairs...it was fun to play, but man I'll be if that ain't one of the most painful spots on your body to hurt! And the worst part is I have classes from 6-8 Mon.-Wed. and a make-up class on Thursday! Not to mention sitting in the car for a total of about 40 minutes!

I have 2 more weeks of classes, 2 projects and one wedding to go this weekend for one of my favoritest people, Hannah-Loo! Wish me luck!

Happy B-day to my BESTEST friend in the whole wide world!

Wasn't he such a cute baby? What happened? Just kidding, my love!
I am not one to really state my feelings for others like I should or as often as I should and you would think it'd be different for my hubby, but unfortunately I stink at it even with him. I am a teaser and I need to be better at giving the kudos! I am more action oriented in showing my love and think "Hey I'm still with you aren't I? Theeeeen I love ya!" I have my moments, but could definitely work on that!

But today I will dedicate this post to my best friend and eternal companion! He is the most beautiful person that I have ever met! His beauty goes beyond just the skin it goes deep into the soul and I love the fact that he loves people, is soooo annoyingly patient with everyone, makes you wanna be a better person, loves nothing more than to serve his God and family, is an extremely hands on father,is silly and willing to tease with me more, is quite punny and full of interesting facts and stories, is exhausting with his constant need to be busy or doing something for the good of others, isn't afraid to stand up for his beliefs, consults with me about everything, listens to my concerns and my crazy ideas and projects and even goes along with them, still holds the doors for me...though his new car "conveniently" doesn't have a place to unlock the passenger side and I have to wait until he gets in on his side for my door to be unlocked...hmmmm...kinda makes me wanna stop listing good things now :) , and that he adores and worships the ground I walk on! Who could ask for anything more in a man!

We love you, Tys! Happy 32!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You old man! hee hee hee!
