Happy Birthday to my husband, Eric!
(Hey, that’s the first time I have gotten to say those words together!)
24 Fun Facts about my husband
1.) He has severe aversions to certain textures in foods (e.g., eggplant)
2.) He doesn’t sweat. Barely ever. Even during moments of high stress like a job interview.
3) He’s not your average Leo. The ‘leo’ in him only comes out when he is 1) drinking and 2) his ego is hurt, bahaha.
4) He never thought that I would ‘go for him’ when we first met in highschool. (awww breaks my heart!)
5) He’s quite possibly the smartest person I have ever met. His mind is so quick and he can pick up anything almost instantly.
6) We bought the house he grew up in and it was the only house he and his family ever lived in.
7) He has a wild streak. Him and his friends were know as the [insert town name here] Hooligans growing up. Nicky nicky nine doors was one of his favourite past times.
8.) He is an insane CCM (Crazy Cat Man) and since he is a Leo, he has part cat in him so it makes sense.
9) He’s a thrill seeker. He’s gone sky diving in Australia, bungee jumping, white water rafting, you name it.
10) He can pretty much solve any computer dilemma you may ever come across. He is a programmer, but hates that he is good at it. It’s too boring for his personality really.
11) He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body & when I’m upset I can see the pain in his eyes.
12) He’s 6 foot 2” tall and frequently tells me what the weather is like ‘up there’.
13) Growing up he was known in school for being a PRO devil stick player and master magician (he had the magician kit just like me!)
14) He can juggle.
15) He loves Ireland and has many family members over there. He wants to take me there for our next trip.
16.) He has the best bum ever. ‘Nough said. :D
17) He is a huge movie buff. Name any movie and he’s seen it. Twice. He also has a crazy accurate memory for movies.
18) He’s a kid at heart and loves to play and joke around.
19) He hates his hair long. I buzz his hair about every month.
20) He loves photography. And his SLR (which I have ambushed for my websites!)
21) He loves working on the house doing renos. And then showing you all about it.
22) He doesn’t really give a damn about what other people think of him. He is always true to himself and is the exact same way with any person he meets.
23) He’s so GQ when he wants to be.
24) He loves me. With every ounce of his being. Or so I’d like to think. ;)

7 Facts about us:
- We’ve been together for 9 years and 9 months
- I was 17 and he was 18 when we started dating (I had just moved to Ontario from NB)
- Our wedding was August 31, 2008
- We took a break in 2003 for a summer to clear our minds. Quickly realized we belonged together and got back together shortly after spotting one another in a statistics class that fall.
- We are really weird together and completely comfortable with one another. Hence weirdness coming out.
- We fight. And bicker. And argue. And recognize it is only human nature. But there’s always an undertone of love and respect between us. We have our lines and we don’t cross them.
- We have tons of strange names for one another and speak to each other in weird voices and accents. What, don’t you?
So you probably can’t handle anymore sap right now about us.
So now I want to know about you. Tell me about a loved one in your life. Can be your partner, mom, dog, whatever. What quirks do you love about them?
Spread the love. I’m such a sap for all things love. I think we need more love in our lives these days.
See you later for the birthday breakfast I cooked up for Eric and other fun things I am doing to spoil him rotten. Aren’t birthdays the best?
Wow so so cute. What you wrote “We fight. And bicker. And argue. And recognize it is only human nature. But there’s always an undertone of love and respect between us. We have our lines and we don’t cross them” really struck me–its so true and important to recognize in a beautiful, healthy relationship!
Happy birthday Eric!
Happy Birthday Eric! hope you two have a wonderful celebration!!! :P
Angela, this is so weird!
My bf just had his bday a couple of weeks ago (he’s a leo too) and I made him a card that listed 27 things I love about him (the weird, the funny, the sweet) for his 27th bday…That’s almost the same format of what you just did for Eric! …Did you spy on me???
Anyway, great little tidbits on your hubby, you guys are adorable together! Happy Birthday!
Happy birfday to Eric!! :D
My boyfran is named David. We’re 3.5 years apart, and a fairly new couple (this is our 6 month anniversary wootwoot). He’s in the navy, and my brother’s best friend. We actually met via my brother. Our communication was cut off for 4 months during his deployment, and now we talk to eachother for 2-4 hours every night on the phone. Long distance relationships aren’t easy, but our stubbornness, amazement that our partner wants *us*, and the friendship we’ve built keeps us so excited for what’s to come. I can’t wait to see him this christmas. I can’t wait to see him next year too.
One thing I absolutely adore about him is his.. well.. wild and crazy streak. Most of his stories include nudity. I don’t know what it is about this boy, but isn’t afraid to just.. show it. In thailand, during his deployment this year, his friend really wanted to get his first tattoo, and so they decide to get matching tattoos. One friend gets a smiley face tattoo on the right butt cheek. The other gets a smiley face on the left butt cheek. My boyfriend decided to get a smiley face riiiighhhttt in the middle.
He says to me “You know, it’s going to be AWFUL when you first see me naked. You’re going to just.. burst out laughing because of it. I’m going to have to just.. moon you next time I see you to just get past that hurdle ASAP.”
I am so looking forward to that. XD
I love this kid. I think he and I will go the distance, and if our relationship ever ends, we have such a strong friendship that we’ll probably stay as friends for a long long time.
i’m glad we’re not the only ones that talk to eachother in funny voices. we have actions too. ha! now we really sound weird!!!
happy birthday, eric!
Hello everyone,
Thank you all very much for all the birthday wishes. Can’t say I usually get this many wishes so early in the day =)
Angela, thanks for the very sweet post. I’m so lucky to have you in my life!
Anyways, hope everyone else has a great day today too!
I love your pictures together!
I love my husband because even though we spent 15 months apart while he was in Iraq we came together like we were never apart. We spend months at a time not seeing each other, but after almost 3 years of marriage we are still going strong!
What a cute post! Happy Birthday Eric.
Your hubby is A LOT like mine! My husband is a technology consultnant, thrill seeker, mountain bike lover, smarty pants, a whole couple heads taller than me, GQ sexy, best father ever, passionate, loving and after 6 years of marriage I still love him to death! Even if somtimes he can drive me a little nuts! ;)
that is the sweetest post i have ever read!!! i hope i find that one day :) (not your post-haha just someone i love like you love eric)
Angela, what a sweet, beautiful wife you are! Beautiful post, and I’m sure your husband will love it. You guys make a stunningly gorgeous couple – happy birthday, Eric!
awwww i love this post!!!! you guys are so sweet.
happy birthday eric!
I love this post. It is so great to read about ones love for another.
I have been married to my husband for 9 years. We have three beautiful daughters. He treats me like a queen and he is a wonderful father. I couldn’t have asked for a better guy. I love how he gets along with my family. He is the funniest guy I know. That is one of the many things I love about him. He has the greatest laugh. When he starts laughing, I laugh even harder because his laugh is so contagious.
Thanks for writing this post and reminding me how lucky I am to have such a great guy.
Happy Birthday, Eric! That was just a lovely post. Made me feel all cuddly.
Let’s see – I love my bf James, because he always brings me a cup of green tea in the mornings, without fail. I love him because I met him at Disney, and he was in costume, in full capri pants and a pirate-y shirt, and I still found him adorable. I love him because the way he told he wanted to ‘get together’ was to reach out and take my hand one night when we were watching TV. I love him because he imitates my ‘Canadian accent’ (I don’t even have one!) and because he calls my food ‘junk food’ and says ‘you’ll get fat eating that’ when I make a Green Monster (cuter than it sounds on the page, ha ha). I love him because he takes me out for dinner almost every week, and holds my hand throughout the meal. I love him because he just never fails to make me smile, no matter what.
Happy Birthday OHG! Whoever thought that one up is a clever gal!
My SO and I have been together just shy of a year. He’s 7 years older then I am though you’d never know it. We are two peas in a pod quite frankly. I love him to death and do believe he feels the same way, except for when I make him a mini GM on Saturday mornings. He drinks it begrudgingly then forces himself to smile. The whole green smoothie thing still has him freaked out quite a bit.
If that’s not love I don’t know what is! Lol.
Happy Birthday, Eric!! Ange, it sounds like you have quite the catch there! :-)
My boyfriend and I have been together for over 7 years and we too have weird couple things together. I love how comfortable we are, and can understand each other’s moods without saying one word.
This year will be the first year we get to spend every season together. We were long distance for my entire college career and then some. Now that we’re living together I can’t imagine being apart for a long period of time. I’m so happy to have found the love of my life when I was 17 years old, and although we have been through rough times together we have become stronger as a couple because of it.
Love your tribute to Eric!
My husband and I spent the first 2 years of ‘official’ dating living in separate countries (due to visa issues) – he was in his first job out of college and spent $300/month on phone bills to make sure we chatted everyday, came to see me twice, and somehow still isn’t sick of me after 10 years!! He’s smart, funny, understanding, LOVES to tease me mercilessly about my accent (that’s OK – it will be the other way round eventually!), works very hard and is extremely down to earth. I think we’ve had to work hard at our relationship and that helps us now when we have the smaller arguments.
Happy Birthday Eric – I have to say, he’s the lucky one having someone who appreciates him so much!! :)
I am the biggest sap in the world, so this post totally made my day. :D Happy birthday Eric!
That is so cute! Happy Birthday Eric!
SUCH an adorable post Angela! You two definitely belong together. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC!

Heather

Happy Birthday Eric!
Happy Birthday Eric!
I love the 24 things, and I adore that you’re silly together. My boyfriend and I have been together for three years and we are quite goofy. He says I bring out his goofiness : )
Fun! Ok.
7 Sappy Facts About Us (Me and my Husband)
1. My husband says he knew he loved me on our first date.
2. He is over a foot taller than me and outweighs me by 130 pounds. (He’s not “fat.”)
3. He thinks I’m smarter than him, and I think he’s smarter than me and we can never agree on this.
4. When I decided to move to California, we broke up. Three weeks later he called me and said he couldn’t live without me and he was following me.
5. We got married on March 7 of this year. March 7, 2007, was the day he told me he loved me.
6. Neither of our families wanted us to marry outside our race. We did anyway (obviously) and they all got over it.
7. He doesn’t like eating healthy or working out, but he does both now because of me. :)
You 2 are just TOO PRECIOUS :)
Happy Birthday Eric!
LOL CCM. I love it.
My boyfriend is the opposite. He always sweats. I am more like Eric. Only when I run!
I’m jealous how tall he is, i’m like an inch taller than my bf lol.
But my bf does the computer thing too and he is insano good at it, and is also a huge movie buff. i bet our men would get along! they sound similar despite the sweating thing and height thing lol!
And if your bf likes farting … my bf would be perfect for him. HAHA.

OMG! Wow, we have some things in common:
1) DH’s bday is 1/13 and mine is 2/13
2) we got married 9/13/08 and we were together for 15 yrs before that.
3)we took a break during college (95-97)and realized we were meant to be.
4)He moved back from college to be with me.
5)I lived by myself before he moved in and…
6)One of his vows to me was to make me laugh everyday and he has!
Awwwwwww. I loved that. Happy Birthday, Eric and congratulations to you both for finding such a great love.
Here’s my quirky facts about the one I love – my own husband.
1) He cannot stand people saying “bless you” when he sneezes – he disagrees with the entire geshundheit thing too, LOL. I may make him the happiest ever when I respond with the line made famous from the Jerry Seinfeld episode on the same topics: “You are sooooo good lookin'” :-)
2) We all call him “the master of useless facts” – he knows a little bit of something about pretty much everything. This man can get a tree stump to talk with him. Seriously.
3) His nickname is “luggage”. His close friends and I tagged him with this because he’s game for anything, goes with the flow, etc. So he’s luggage because “he’s just along for the ride”. Ha ha ha ha haaa.
Congrats to E & A – many happy years together.
Happy Birthday Eric!
Great list Angela (as for #6.. try again.. we moved to the house you are in when Eric was just a wee lad in diapers)
Still lots of great memories in that house for us and lots more to come!
