Happy Birthday Erik

Thanks Ryan & Tifany :o)

Yesterday was Erik's 29th Birthday so I am going to post 29 things about him.

1.Erik is an Amazing husband, he would do anything to put a smile on my face and hear me laugh.

2. He is a great Daddy and has been since the day our girls were born, he never really needed any adjustment time or warming up he just jumped right into feeding and changing diapers and loved every minute of it. He loves being a Dad and is a big kid himslef.

3. Erik loves video games, he will play any chance he gets but doesn't let it take away from time spent with the girls and I. He always makes sure that the time is right before he plays and will stop his game at anytime if I need him to no matter what level he is on or what he is in the middle of.

4. Erik is honestly one of the smartest people I have ever met, he knows so many random things. I am always asking him "How do you know that?" He says I just love knowledge. Learning comes easy for him. Now if he could only learn to take the trash out. LOL Just kidding I love You Babe

5. Erik is great at fixing computers, I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my own free 24/7 Geek Squad.

7. Erik has only met his father one time in his life and that was 6 years ago and he has not heard from him again. He doesn't let it bother him though, he knows it's his lost and says the only thing he can do is make sure he is never anything like his Father. I know that will not be a problem for him.

8. Erik loves the Pittsburgh Steelers.. I mean LOVES them he says they are like his 3rd step child.

I am Thankful to him that I am able to sleep in peace at night knowing that our house is secure.

19. Erik would love to have a Son someday, he wanted a Daddy's girl and he got 2, someday he would like to adopt a Son or beat the odds and try for a Boy. He tells me he wants to name his Son Erik Tank and we will call him Tank...Oh my gosh, Tank is cute for a nickname, but for his legal middle name? I sure hope he is kidding but something tells me he isn't.

20. Erik is really good at not staying mad at me for long, he says "I just don't like being mad at you" and I love that about him LOL
