1- He is an amazingly hard worker- Sometimes I give him a hard time about this, but I love this about him. Its wonderful to be married to a man who really knows the value of hard work, it has been such a blessing to our family.
2- He is an even more amazing dad- even with the 12 hour days at work and endless lists of people and things pulling at his attention, Garrick always devotes his best time and attention for his son. Tyson LOVES his daddy and its not hard to see why.
3- He likes golfing. Unfortunately with the demanding work schedule in the summer he doesn't get to go very often but given a chance to just go do something fun just for him, golfing is usually his pick.
4- He is a bit picky about desert. Cookies, cakes, even icecream and brownies are rarely a temptation for him. His weakness is Marie callendar's Chocolate Silk Pie and "Dirt Cups".
5- He lOVES candy! His willpower and disinterest in deserts and baked goods is very well compensated for by his love of candy. Almost any kind of candy will get eaten, he loves fruity things, starbursts, jelly beans, sweedish fish, etc. and he really likes Peanut butter Twix and Peanut butter M&M's.
6- He loves watching TV. This is his go to relaxation activity (which is pretty understandable after the long days he has.) Its kind of funny to me because TV hasn't ever been that interesting to me but Garrick will watch just about anything that is on and loves to have this as his "winding down" time each night.
7- He is a great housekeeper. This has been a lifesaver for me. He does dishes, mops floors, does laundry, empties garbages, he even cleans bathrooms! And he does this stuff on a regular basis. I am one very lucky wife!
8- He is an awesome "Handy man" he can fix just about anything from a broken car window to a clogged sink. This definately has saved us a fortune over the past couple years and will save us even more when we own our own home!
9- He goes along with my silly birthday traditions just because he knows I like them. Last night he made sure he left exactly 1 of his 27 candles lit after blowing all the rest of them out in one breath. (Our family always said that the number of candles you have left after your first blow is how many boy/girlfriends you had.)
10- He is an awesome husband. He is so kind and caring and as if the list above wasn't enough to make me the luckiest girl on earth he goes above and beyond just this stuff. He makes me treats when my sweet tooth is acting up, he runs to the grocery store when I forget to pick something up for dinner, he washes and rubs my feet when they are tired and swollen, he gets up off the couch to bring me a drink even when he is all settled in and comfortably watching a show.Even on his birthday when he was supposed to be the one relaxing and having a night off, he put Tyson to bed because by the end of the day I was just too worn out, and he did it without me even asking!
Tyson and I are so grateful to have such an awesome husband and dad in our lives.
For his birthday dinner Paul took us out to Sizzler to celebrate, then we had Brad & Janelle, Mazey, and Pual over for cake and icecream. It only took me 5 years but I finally found a cake that garrick actually liked! We cheated and purchased it from coldstone but it was well worth it. Icecream cake rocks!
