Today Curt turned the big 25! I absolutely love celebrating his birthday! As I have mentioned before, I have a really hard time not buying him presents and going all out. This year was no exception. The Il Divo concert was amazing, like I said below, and I think he enjoyed the gifts I got him (even though I spent more money on him then just the concert tickets, woops J). Anyway, I thought I would post a few things to help you get to know Curt a little better.
1. He loves soccer, and I mean looovvves soccer. He watches it every second he can (we pay a little extra a month to get the soccer channels). As soon as he gets home from work or school he puts one of his many soccer jerseys on. He also kicks the soccer ball around the house.
2. He really likes ice. If you ever give him a glass of ice water, he will always return it to you completely empty. Also, when we stay at hotels he likes to go the ice machine and fill up the ice bucket and just munch on ice.
3. He doesn’t like to eat breakfast. I really don’t understand how someone could not like eating breakfast, but whatever. I have to make him eat every morning. We both eat breakfast at work and I always have to make sure he really eats it. He is getting a lot better at it though, probably because he knows it makes me happy when he eats breakfast.
4. He loves to read, but he only reads gospel and finance books. He is pretty hard to budge on this one. I have tried to expand his horizons and tried to tell him that there is good fiction or historical fiction books out there, but to no success. It is not that he thinks it is bad to read other kinds of books, but he just doesn’t enjoy them unless they are about his two favorite subjects.
5. He loves the show Biggest Loser and gets teary eyed every episode. He thinks it is great how they are changing their lives.
6. He likes romantic comedies (and/or chick flicks) and dramas when it comes to movies. It can’t be too girly or cheesy though, otherwise it is too much for him. I love this about him because we never have to do the comprising thing where if he watches a romantic comedy with me then I have to watch an action movie with him. It is so nice to have the same taste in movies.
7. He loves eating vegetables. It really is one of the only things he loves to eat. He is not a big food person, which is crazy to me, but if you put a veggie tray in front of him it will be gone in 2 seconds.
8. He is amazing at waterskiing. He goes about 34 mph on the water and it is pretty cool to watch. He does switchbacks across the water so fast and is so comfortable on the water.
9. He loves to organize…and reorganize. He was excited to organize everything in our house and find the exact right spot for everything. Then he starts looking for things he can reorganize. He has already reorganized 3 areas in our home and we have only lived there for about 2 months.
10. He doesn’t like really long blog posts. So I better end this now J.
Well, I know this was long but I love talking/writing about my sweet husband. I could go on forever because there is obviously a lot more to know about him. I think even his family would be surprised of the Curt that I know and adore. We have so much fun together and he always makes me laugh. I am really looking forward to all the many birthdays we will celebrate together.
Happy Birthday Curt! I hope you have an amazing day. I love you!
