Happy Birthday Manu

Manu's birthday was the 4th of Nov. And in tradition of copying Janae, I thought I would make a list of 10 things I like about Manu (I won't say top 10 because I am sure there is something/s that should be on the list, but are so frequent I take them for granted):

1. He is genuinely concerned about my happiness
2. He is a great father and only complains a little bit about Zander coating him in spit up all the time.
3. He strives for excellence in all his endeavors
4. He is good at moving heavy things
5. He can say he is sorry, even when I am being over sensitive (My marriage and family professor at BYU once said that if you are ever dating a guy who can say he is sorry, you should not let that one go. I guess he was right).
6. He laughs at my dumb jokes
7. He helps out around the house and with the kids
8. He is quick to compliment and thank me
9. He is honest (sometimes to honest - but I will take that over not honest enough)
10. If he gets home and dinner is made/started, I don't even have to ask him, he usually offers to get something started.

11. He has made dinner on his birthday grill for four days in a row -
hot dogs / hamburgers
shishkababs
Chicken
Hamburgers (we forgot we had avocado the first time, so we had to make hamburgers again so we could have them with avacodo.)

Talk about a lot of good dinners :)

It sounds like you've had a Happy Birthday, Manu...Bridget's list is a very nice birthday present that says a lot. The picture of you and Zander is pretty cute, too...Zander kinda looks like he is hoping Dad doesn't realize he kicked his sock into the BBQ...where did that sock go, anyway? :) Have a wonderful year and many more to come.
