Happy birthday Higgy!

In honor of Higgy's 38th B-day, here's 38 happy thoughts related to having him in my life:

1. Wonderful warm bear hugs
2. Cuddling on cold winter nights
3. Fabulous sunny side up eggs (yes, he can cook)
4. The way his eyes crinkle when he smiles (or laughs)
5. A son who looks like him
6. A daughter who does too!
7. Wearing his extra large sweats when my maternity clothes weren't good enough
8. Mentioning that I want the bed changed, and finding it with clean sheets at bed time - I thought I was going to help
   
9. Watching British comedy (ok - at least some of them)
10. Vacations in Wales - complete with family
11. Walking in the snow in Paris - probably the only time I didn't absolutely hate snow
12. Discussing our future
13. Reminiscing about our pasts
14. Bedtime stories - I love hearing about his pre-me exploits (most of them, anyway)
15. Seeing him read stories to our son
16. Watching him hold our daughter while he's playing games on-line
17. Being able to have him hold a child during a Bills game - he has to calm down
18. Watching him sleep
19. Seeing him vacuum - he knows I HATE it
    
20. Hearing him laugh out loud at the movies - it almost always prompts me to do the same
21. Curry and chips - something I never would have tried without him
22. Morning tea, pots and pots of it
    
23. Being able to say, "I can't believe I married a frat boy"
24. Being able to tell shared stories
25. Having fond memories of Columbus, Ohio (date 2)
26. Reading R.A. Salvatore - something I wouldn't have done without him
27. Hearing the term "knackered" with an accent on a regular basis
28. Knowing that the reason it is pronounced yog-urt (yog rhymes with jog) instead of yo-gurt is because in Britain it is spelled yoghurt
29. Holding my hand up when asked what the best money he spent was (or any time he tells the stories of his 2nd and 3rd best expenses were)
30. Reading aloud to each other in the U-haul as I moved across country
31. Having a husband who my friends consider a friend too
32. Feeling so much love for one person and feeling it returned
33. Having someone who loves our kids and lives so much he has taken thousands upon thousands of pictures in the last few years
34. Warming up my side of the bed before I get in, even if it means his side is cold
35. Looking at pictures on my wall that have a crazy Higgy mustache from his college days
36. Looking through our photo albums and seeing the smiles
37. The view from the top of the Lincoln Center, our first kiss
38. Knowing that our future is together

Happy birthday Higgy, I love you!
