Shame on me!
It seems as though I have forgotten my own blog tradition this year. . . I had planned to write pleasant things about each member of this family on their birthday, and (embarrassingly enough) Troy's 32nd birthday was September 23rd! Seth wanted to know if I would be able to think of 32 things! Hmmm. . .boy of little faith! Troy could have turned 50, and I still would have been able to think of things! (Enter drum roll, please! :-) Here's the list:
1. Troy is a great communicator. (Big, big deal to me! We talk about everything.)2. He cares about his appearance.
3. He is careful to consult me in decisions.
4. He is not a picky eater. (Makes my cooking life much easier -especially since I am the picky one.)5. Sets a good example by helping with the housework.
6. Irons all the Sunday clothes for me on Saturday evening.
7. Troy has helped me to develop a deep appreciation for good music.
8. Challenges me to come up with facts and reasons other than, "I feel like. . .".9. Troy does not complain about the house/meals when I do not feel well.
10. He allows me to be myself. (My husband deserves a crown of gold just for that!)11. He spends a lot of time playing with the boys.
12. Troy carefully weighs options about purchases and is not rash in making choices.
13. He will read instruction manuals/fine print and all the other papers I detest and tell me what I need to know.
