Yesterday was Josh’s 23 bday, and we had a great time.  We ate at Chili’s with good friends and family and then we all had brownie sundays for dessert and played games at our apt.  It was a grande evening.

And for Josh’s birthday, I posted a little homage to him on my tumblr and decided that same post needed to show up on First Year Project, too.

Lord of the Plunger

 

I love this man with all my heart.  And this picture is one of my very favorites of him.  He’s silly.  And I am so grateful to God for creating him and giving him to me as a husband and best friend.

So, in honor of Joshua’s 23 years, here is a list of some of my favorite things about him:

1.  He can’t wink- but he tries & ends up scrunching up his nose and blinking both eyes.

2.  He will seriously read a 500+ page book in two days, on top of doing work & school.

3.  He doesn’t mind washing dishes at all…and always takes out the trash.

4.  He wrote me a letter every week the first year we dated & were long distance.

5.  He has the prettiest blue eyes with yellow flecks.

6.  He is a mountain man- pieces of his heart are on the AT.

7.  He looks so SHARP in his JCrew suit!

8.  He was fully aware I’m crazy before marrying me and still did.

9.  He is fiercely loyal, even when friends aren’t very good to him.  Proud of him.

10.  He won a Disney Star Wars Trivia Game Show at Disney World.

11.  He owns a 500+ piece Lego model of the Millennium Falcon (prize from 10).

12.  He’s really excited about being a Dad to girls one day.  (and so am I).

13.  He has the best curly hair.

14.  He speaks German.

15.  He has this deep, sexy voice and his laugh is even better.

16.  He has a ba-jillion journals/ moleskin notepads in our apt.  They’re everywhere.

17.  He maintains about 4 different blogs.

18.  He is a badass web designer AND writer.  You should hire him.

19.  He has these really adorable wrinkles around the edges of his mouth when he smiles.

20.  He is a snob about his nose- he thinks it’s perfect.  (It’s a point of mockery- a lot).

21.  He’s got a pretty huge compassionate heart.  Limitless love in there.

22.  He’s also a lover and seeker of Justice- big time.

23.  He could tell you, in detail, every single battle that ever took place between two+ armies on the face of the earth.  Crazy man loves him some war history and non-fiction.

I love you, Joshua!  And for more reasons than these 23! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
