Today is my husbands birthday and to celebrate year twenty-four here are 24 great and fun reasons as to why Pauls existence on this earth and in my life are so important:
No. 1 SMILE: I've said this before but it's an easy one and therefore a great warm up to this brainstorm madness... Pauls smile. I know I know it sounds like what every other love bird says to one another but I'm serious. When he smiles at me its like... there is nothing on earth that could make me not smile back. (this is very annoying when I'm trying to be mad)
No. 2 THE PHASES OF PAUL: This is an interesting one. Paul goes through phases, for instance one day he wakes up and decides he would have made a great astronaut. Weird, I know, but I'm getting used to these phases. The Space phase lasted for a while and I'm sort of glad it's over because space freaks me out its cold, dark, and airless. The latest phase has been race cars... he is pretty sure he could have been a race car driver I blame
THIS show... and I'm ok with it well, at least for now.
No. 3 POLITENESS: He could be straight from Downton Abbey ; )
No. 4 MOVIE THEATRE SET UP SKILLS: My living room or anyones for that matter can go from a slapped together make-shift entertainment area to a actual movie theatre experience with perfect audio alignment. He even points out the correct spot to sit so that the sound meets our ears as it is best heard.
No. 5 SUPPORT: On a serious note Paul has supported me in so many different ways over the years. I really cannot imagine my life without him.
No. 6 UNIQUE ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS: I have never met anyone who cleans and organizes the way Paul does... it's strange to say the least, but it always makes me laugh. The biggest technique or the one he resorts to first when he runs out of ideas is pinning things to the wall. He actually pins items, usually papers to our wall - at least he's creative.
No. 7 POSITIVE: When I am down Paul's there to lift me up. Always.
No. 8 HE'S A CAT PERSON: When I rescued my cat from being abandoned when my parents moved, we really didn't have anywhere to keep him and thus Paul was going to create a Craig's List Ad to find him a home. When that never happened and I told Paul that I thought I found someone to take him, he decided it would be better for "me" if he stayed with us... they are best friends now.
No. 9 FIRST DATES: Paul is my one and only, but I remember when we first started dating in the Summer of 2008 Paul got really sick, and broke his foot and yet somehow we both remember it as the best Summer of our lives..
No. 10 DARES TO DREAM: Paul and I day dream a lot about who we want to be together, and where we will end up. It is an amazing feeling knowing someone so well, and being comfortable enough to share these thoughts as one.
No. 11 DOWNTON ABBEY FAN: I didn't know when I met Paul that we both would become obsessed with Downton Abbey. My Grandparents are as well, and Paul is totally not ashamed to travel down to Lakewood, WA on Sunday Nights to spend the evening with me and my family completely sucked into the show.
No. 12 LAUGH: Paul's laugh is perfect, and unique I can pick him out of a crowd in an instant.
Half-Way there...

| Crazy beach hair... another reason why I love Paul is that we both agree we will always live by the water. |
No. 13 OPENNESS: Paul is not a wishy-washy person, however, he is open to new ideas and suggestions.
~Shortening these up to make it to 24 ~
No. 14 KINDHEARTED: When Paul was born I think the most kindhearted person was as well.
No. 15 CALM: With some exceptions I think Paul is the reason why I stay calm in rough situations.
No. 16 CREATIVE: I absolutely love this about Paul, he is so creative and in completely different ways then myself... life is never boring.
No. 17 UNDERSTANDING: There is nothing worse then knowing exactly what you want to say or get across to someone and having no way to know if they get what your actually trying to say. This is no problem with Paul he gets me and I know it.
No. 18 HENRY SURVIVOR: I own a VW Bug named Henry he has been a disaster from the day I drove him off the lot. Paul has spent more time with this car in repair shops and dealerships. He has also responded to plenty of Emergency Phone Calls to pick me up when I'm broken down in multiple locations. Plus he has had to drive my car with the sunflower cup holder to work. (sorry about that)
No. 19 BELIEVES IN ME: He just believes in me and again I know that he does, life is just so different when you have someone like that.
No. 20 FUN: Paul is just a fun person to be around, it is very unusual that he's not.
No. 21 SPELLING: I have learned very interesting ways of spelling things since being with Paul, I have also lost all sense of correct grammar.
No. 22 DIALOGUE: Paul is a sound engineer so when I say dialogue I don't actually mean the kind he works on at home, but rather the dialogue we have created for our cat Nemo. We're crazy I guess but thats ok.
No. 23 DRUMMER: I love this about Paul and always have, even if he does just drum to his earphones on a notebook now.
No. 24 The fact that he will read this and probably the rest of my blog as well.
