A Day Late

So Jeff's birthday was yesterday.  Happy Birthday sweetie.  We went out to breakfast and dinner without the kids.  Not too bad.  We had intended to go to the new Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, that was built by Alice Walton right in our backyard, but we got there late and it had closed for the night.  Oops.  The museum opened in November and I keep saying that I will make it and not stressing to get there cause it isn't going anywhere, but at this point I kinda wonder if I need to make more of an effort.  I wanna see me some Winslow Homer and Norman Rockwell.  Now for the important part of this post; Jeff is 32 and aging well.  He was pretty great when we met 10 years ago, but I gotta say he does get better with age.  I could devote this entire blog to how much I love and admire him, but I don't think anyone wants to read that.  Instead I have decided to help my readers get to know Jeff a bit better.  I assume that most of my readers are here because they know me, so this post might better acquaint you with my guy.

From Jeff's point of view

I know...How to drive on the opposite side of the road
I want...The Lord of the Rings on Blu-Ray, but my wife won't let me have it cause we have them all on DVD
I have...all the Playstation gaming systems
I wish...the furnace would magically start working again
I hate...Adele
I miss...my mom and dad
I fear...that something else will have to be replaced in the car/houses this month
I Feel...that it is impossible to put my wallet on the left side of my pants wearing the back pockets out evenly
I hear...the baby monitor at 5 a.m.
I smell...candles, (He loves candles which is funny cause I don't.)
I crave...Chicken Ala King
I search...for Spike and Mae pacifiers
I wonder...what free games I'll get on the playstation plus network each month
I regret...getting the dog
I love...My kids
I care...about my primary calling
I always...take care of any plumbing issues and also get to lick all the cake/ brownie/ cookie batter bowls, these are both "Jeff Jobs." Not to shabby a trade off.
I am going...to take Max to DisneyWorld this December
I believe...in duct tape
I dance... on my Dance Dance Revolution Mat
I sing...along with Emily when she makes up songs for the kids
I fight...to defend my wife
I write...computer programs
I lose...track of my pager schedule for work
I win...all my video games... eventually
I never...hurt my kids or my wife
I listen...to Weird Al
I am scared...of heights
I need to clean...my wallet
I hope...to sell my house this spring

A few extra stats:
A Provo, Utah native
Served a LDS mission in Sydney Australia
Has a Masters in Information Systems Management from BYU
Works for the Information Systems department at Walmart
Has adorable dimples that you can't see cause he rocks an awesome beard
Is well liked by everyone.  I have never met a person who didn't like my husband, (expect his younger sister Megan, but that is a younger sister thing and he said they got along wonderfully on his last visit.)
Really handy around the house
Is completely smitten with Mae and best buds with Max

He can't get over the "set fire to the rain" lyric. It gets him all riled up. He just saw me typing this and started yelling about how it doesn't make sense.
