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?
So sweet! Happy Birthday to him. This morning, when my husband was saying goodbye to me, he said “Don’t you have something to say?” And I stared at him, and then said “happy anniversary” it’s not our real anniversary but we met 5 years ago today! He always remembers days like this, and I never do! lol :)
Very sweet post :) you guys are so cute together! I love my boyf, we’ve been together a long time too, 7 years :)
Oh my gosh, ya’ll are so cute I can’t stand it!
What beautiful wedding pics!
My husband:
1) Is the “dog whisperer” with our new puppy. Seriously, all animals and babies love him!
2) Spoils me rotten.
3) Is the only person who can lovingly tell me when I’m wrong in such a way that doesn’t feel like I’m being chastised.
4) Has the best bum EVER!
5) Switched his diet to be gluten free just for me.
6) is a Mac man through and through!
7) Loves the Discovery Channel.
8) Knows every movie director and his body of work. It’s really quite impressive.
10) Hates onions, mushrooms, peppers, olives, pickles, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, alfalfa sprouts… How did we end up married?! hahahaha
11) Is the most amazing person I have ever and will ever know. I love him more than life. He is my OH (my Other Heart), the love of my life, and my best friend.
aww you two are cutie pies :)
such a great post for your love!
Hi Angela, I love your blog :) Happy birthday to Eric!! Aw, what a sweet post! My fiance’s birthday is this Friday, so I know what you mean about leo’s :) I met my sweetie when I first moved to NYC from California, 5 yrs ago. He was my first friend in the big manzana!! I met him while I was on my way walking to the elevator, post interview for a scary New York job! lol…..needless to say, I got the job and the guy ;). What’s so incredible about him is he always knows how to surprise me. We recently got engaged July 3rd. He knows how much I love St. Patrick’s Cathedral church and I was recently baptised there and he was confirmed there…On the afternoon of our engagement, he brought me inside and we lit a candle (something we do when we are there)and he got down on one knee! It was the best surprise ever!!
awww… so sweet! Happy birthday Eric!
Aww such a sweet post to dedicate to your husband! Happy Birthday, Eric :)
Loved this post! My husband is amazing, he is smart, pushes me to do things outside of my comfort zone and is just a great partner.
such a sweet post! You guys remind me so much of me and my Mister, it’s uncanny!
you are too sweet!
Awwwww – so sweet! And it’s so weird because my hubby’s birthday is tomorrow!
My hubby actually remembered the first day we met and he proposed on that date (2 years later). We’ve been together 8 years now, married for 4 years. I’m shocked at how much more I love Michael with every passing day, he’s truly the love of my life!
I love your 24 things! Happy birthday to your hubby!
My husband and I were married on September 5, 2008. Something I love about him? The way he understands, loves and accepts me for who I am. Plus, he’s the most kindest, gentle person I have ever met in my life.
:)!!!!! What a warm and fuzzy post!!! You two are so lucky to have and inspire eachother.
Someone I love is my ex boyfriend turned friend. Strange I know, we just both loved eachother even after the romance ended. He loves me despite, my burping, me being a worrywart and the fact that I steal all of his jokes.
Happy b-day eric!!!
Cute photos and Make it a HAPPY one Eric!

Happy Birthday Eric – love this post!!
My boyfriend and I dated for 2 years in high school, went our separate ways in college, and have been together for another 2 years now. To outsiders, we really seem like complete opposites, which we love to joke about. We truly bring out the best in each other – he can pull me out of a funk faster than anyone! We have inside jokes that date back to when we were 16 years old, and if someone were to listen to us talk to each other, they’d think we were crazy!! I honestly can’t imagine my life without him :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC!!
you guys are SO cute together :) I hope I can find a good man like that some day!
right now the loves of my life are my mom who inspires me to be great, my sister who keeps me young and down to earth and my two best friends who love me just the way I am :) One day I’ll find a guy who does ALL of the things my mom sis and friends do for me! But I’m in no rush :)
Happy Birthday to Eric! I just had to post because my husband and I met about 9 years & 9 months ago too – November 7, 2009. How the time flies! :) I always remember the date because it was another friend’s birthday. My husband and I became close friends at the time, but didn’t start dating until 3.5 years later. We have been happily married since July 28, 2006.
Happy Birthday to your hubby!!That’s probably the sweetest thing ever.It gives us single folk something to hope for.I love it:-)…made my day.cc
