1. He grew up a preacher's kid.

3. Has a Master's degree in Education and teaches first grade.

4. Has never had a person not like him. Seriously, he gets along with EVERYONE.

6. He suffers from psoriatic arthritis and has the spine of an old man (has already had major neck surgery to repair discs and scrape off bone spurs).

[SueinNC]

6. .... He sat me down and told me no matter how much I pushed, he wasn't leaving, so I might as well stop. I learned what it means to be truly loved that day.

 

Awwwee, That is so sweet, it brought tears to my eyes! He's a keeper!

[Maria from IN]

1. He's been my husband for an entire three months. Before that we dated about 7 years.

 

2. He's 9 years older than me and about 6'5" tall...I'm 5'10" and I like not having to slouch next to him.

 

3. He was an Intelligence Analyst (code breaker) in the Air Force and worked at NSA in the early 80's. After leaving the Air Force he joined the Army National Guard and "learned how to sleep in a moving tank." After the military he worked in various police and security positions in California and Indiana.

 

4. He digs all kinds of war history, especially from WWII, where his father fought in Anzio and France.

 

5. He shaves his head, and looks like a cross between Bull Shannon from Night Court and Vin Diesel. :drool5:His nickname is Bull because he used to be a prison guard and the inmates thought that in his dress uniform he looked like Bull Shannon.

 

6. He has a soft spot for animals, especially dogs and cats, and talks to them like they're people.

 

7. He has six children...three boys from his first marriage, and three girls from his second. I tell people he has his own Brady Bunch!

 

8. We have the same twisted sense of humor...and that's rare!

 

9. His middle name is Marlin...his father liked to fish.

 

10. No matter how the bedroom furniture is arranged, he always sleeps between me and the door. He also always has a pistol nearby. Whenever we go anywhere together, he's always watching out for our safety, scanning crowds, surreptitiously checking out strangers, and never letting me run errands alone if he can help it. If he can't be there, he's always texting to make sure I made it to where I'm going. Must be a holdover from his police/security days.

[cin]

1. He's an incredible introvert, hates crowds, and works really hard to hold a conversation. BUT, start talking to him about computers and you can't shut him up.

 

2. He is the most incredible father and husband I've ever seen.

 

3. He enjoys cooking; he has told me not to worry about dinner, just do the school and get the therapies done, I'll take care of dinner. Gee, twist my arm!

 

4. He had a man-cave before they were popular; heck, before they were invented. At 16, his dad bought him an IBM 2 floppy disc computer ($5k at the time!) and built him a desk in their basement.

 

5. He almost cut one of his fingers off 2 years in a row over Christmas break.

 

6. He can do almost anything; he DID the whole remodel on our house. (actually 2 remodels), including switching the stove from electric to gas, relocating the stove and bathroom, moving walls, and re-siding our house. The only thing he won't do is the roof (thank goodness!)

 

7. He is the one who said we would homeschool, and he still insists on it today. I agree, but I do have my moments!

 

8. He is fiercely protective of our oldest, who has mild asperger's and anxiety, to the point of denying there was anything wrong for several years.

 

9. He is SO supportive of my needs, to the point of letting me go away for a weekend twice a year, if I meet him in the driveway when he comes home, he asks no questions, just that I be home by 11:00, etc.

 

10. He is pretty much self made. He has an Associate's Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. He has a work ethic that you just don't find alot anymore, and that has gotten him FAR. He is not a workaholic, but he believes that working 45 hours a week and giving 150% while your there is NOT wrong. At the same time, he gets really torqued if someone DOESN'T pull their load, and it infringes on his family time. (He was Secondary on call this last weekend, and had 3 calls; 1 during his dd's b-day party, and another while we were out for her family b-day dinner; I'm just glad I wasn't the Primary on call that Monday!)

[Retired]

1.He is the oldest of 3 kids (just above dirt poor). He had to cut firewood with a chainsaw around age 13 too keep their home warm. His dad had RA and was not able to do much. He went to work at 4:00 am before school and then worked till 10:00pm after school to help the family. He did graduate high school against the odds.

 

2.He can't be still. He has to always be doing something. If any chore is left undone around the house he will do it. Seriously I could sit and never do anything and he would get it done around my house. (This really makes me feel bad but its part of his can't be still)

7. he works out and is still pretty ripped at age 48 which makes the whole shirtless tractor cutting guy sound like the back drop for the country song. Ya Think My Tractors Sexy:lol:

 

8. He totally treats me like a queen. He will work 12-16 hours and give me a back rub.

 

9. He is a introvert so he pretty much doesn't have Friends. He is all about our family. He spends all his spare time with us. Which is not much cause he is a work-a-aholic but over the past year he spends more time at home

 

10. Which goes along with my favorite thing about my dh. He became a Christian last year.

3) He is a great cook although he doesn't cook any more.
