Mr. Christiansen

The last time I wrote a post dedicated to Jeremy was when we were dating. Suddenly a boy had sprung up in my life and people were starting to get curious. But since we're now married, the masses are no longer wondering. I don't rant and rave about Mr. Christiansen enough, I don't think. So in honor of his birthday yesterday, I think I'll add (and reiterate) a few things to the list of things I already saw in him back last May.

1. He is funny. Not stand-up-comedy-funny, but he is always saying (or singing) off-the-wall things that make me laugh. Whenever I'm feeling sick or tired or out of sorts, he has a knack for giving me a fit of giggles.


2. He is level-headed. No matter how much the new tires are going to cost or what the latest unexpected bill is in the mail, he takes it in stride and doesn't lose perspective.


3. He's diligent and thorough. When he sets a goal, he takes the steps to make it a reality, no matter the cost.


4. He is focused. Seriously, he is studying hardcore for the LSAT that he'll take in the summer of 2010.


5. He is compassionate. We see a homeless on the corner, and he wants to stop and buy a sandwitch. I've had a rough day and he's willing to give me a back rub--no matter how tired he is. I do something without thinking and he makes me look in those clear blue eyes until I see his forgiveness and understanding.


6. He is thoughtful. He takes what I say and applies. I've only had to ask him to put the toilet seat down once, and he's since remembered.


7. He's not concerned with what the masses think. So it's not "cool" or "kosher" to do something they way it should be done? He doesn't let it stop him.


8. Did I meantion that he's good looking? Yup, I still am pretty dang positive about this one.


9. He still wears vans old schools. And swears he will 'till he's an old man. I love the vans/old-man sweater look he sports all the time. It's so Jeremy.


10. And he still makes me smile. All day long.
    

Happy Birthday, Mr. Christiansen. Here's to a long life of many birthdays!
