30 Things You May or May Not Know About Nate...

In honor of Nate's 30th birthday I decided to make a lovely little list documenting 30 things you may or may not know...

30. He's not a very sweaty guy. He never gets B.O., and generally smells pretty good

29. On the other hand, he has really stinky gas, and can clear a room in seconds.

28. He's been in a lot of accidents (car motorcycle, boat etc. ) one of the worst was when he was fixing up an old motorcycle and ended up crashing it into the garage door. Ouchie.

27. Along with accidents, he has knocked himself out with a metal baseball bat.

26. He served an LDS mission in Cleveland, OH.

25. He is a Canadian citizen, and was born in Ontario.

24. He is really handy, and can make or fix almost anything (I think engineering will be a great fit for him!)

23. He is more crafty than I am, and can out-do me in almost any homemaking skill. (sad, I know)

22. He hates mayonaise or anything that looks like it: Miracle Whip, ranch dressing, cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream...the list goes on.

21. He ran cross country in high school, and is actually a really great distance runner when he wants to be. He ran 7 miles everyday while we were dating/engaged.

20. he has really nice feet and legs. I always say I want our girls to have his legs!

19. He is more emotional/compassionate than me. He cries way more in movies (like he cried in "Hook" the other day) I guess I am not much of a crier.

18. He is really calm in disaster situations, and never seems to lose his cool.

17. He has a real sugar addiction with all of the hallmarks of every other kind of addiction except with candy.

16. He doesn't really care for video games or computer games. Lucky me!

15. He's kind of competitive, and can be a really bad loser sometimes (sorry, Nate!).

14. He'll wear just about anything I buy for him, but he's really picky about jeans.

13. He loves kids, and wants to have WAY more than I do.

12. We weighed the same when I was 9 months pregnant.

11. He is great at math and science, and he's actually a great writer too!

10. He can't grow a beard, but he CAN grow a creepy pedophile mustache.

9. He has nice skin.

8. He has the exact same sense of humor as me, and that's hard to find.

7. He got beat up by a boat motor at scout camp.

6. He hated high school.

5. There are seven kids in his family, he is #5.

4. He is a bit of a homebody, so I have to drag him to do adventurous things, but once he's there he loves it.

3. He loves to swim, but he's terrified of deep water.

3. He never wears a watch

2. He is a perfectionist in every way.

1. He is the greatest husband and father, and I love him so much! Happy birthday Naters!

Wow 30. That's old, but Steve will be there soon enough. Another thing about Nate, he screams like a girl at scary movies! Just ask him about the time Steve, me, him and Heather went and saw Signs. Hehe, that was funny!

Aw, this is cute! I really wish we were closer and could hang out with you guys. I don't think we've ever found another couple that had as many poo stories as our family. Or that would actually share them the first time we hung out. You guys are awesome (not just because of that...)

What a fun list. Tell Nate that 30 is NOT old. Wish we lived closer together. Glad you had a good time at the zoo!
