Long before this ridiculously good-looking guy and I ever said "I love you," I started telling him "You're my favorite." Basically it was just my little way of saying "I like you a lot!" So, I just wanted to repeat that message to Joe today - on his 28th birthday!! When I met Joe he was only 22, and we went on our first date 2 days after his 23rd birthday. I even called him on his 23rd birthday even though he had just asked me out a few days before and we hadn't even gone out yet. And now here were are 5 years later! Since it the first time I've been a blogger on October 30, I thought I would take advantage of the opportunity to share a few (28, maybe) fun facts about Joe. (I stole this idea from Andy.)1. Joe would probably spend the rest of his life at Lake Powell if he could.
2. Joe can fall asleep at any time, any place.
3. Joe gets an estimated 40% of his total sleep napping on the couch before going to bed.
4. He is really really funny (we both think so at least).
5. He loves teeth and flaps and drilling and sewing bones and gums, respectively.
6. He sings a lot but always the wrong words.
7. He is good at making up nicknames for me (usually not ones I like).
8. Joe lives for flag football (and I hope he'll live through one more year).
9. Joe is the hardest working person I know.
10. Joe is awesome at finding good deals.
11. He loves sports center.
12. He loves gatorade.
13. Joe has a steel plate in his arm.
14. He has had knee surgery, shoulder surgery, and 3 broken arms.
15. Joe wants to live on a lake someday.
16. Joe is scared to pick up frogs and snakes.
17. He has not embraced his role of family bug-killer very well.
18. My favorite part of his good looks are his adorable facial expressions. ;)
19. He is a nicer person than I am (= he is really nice).
20. He is a problem solver, not a complainer.
21. He puts up with a lot from me and handles it quite well.
22. He likes apple pie.
23. He gets in comment fights on blogs (watch out!).
24. His name was almost Pedro and he has previously been mistaken for a Mexican (watch the grown out hair and beard and deep summer tan).
25. He is almost a doctor!!
26. His wife is almost a lawyer. :)
27. He has placed a strict limit on the number of times I'm allowed to tell him "happy birthday" which I think is just plain rude.
28. He is my favorite person in the world!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!!! (Take that!!)

Yep, Joe is ABSOLUTELY my FAVORITE son-in-law. He puts up with his momster-in-law, and the very best thing about him is that he loves Lindsey! I didn't know he was afraid of frogs though...what's up with that? Happy, happy birthday Joe!
Happy Birthday Joe!!! I can't believe that I didn't even get to tell you that in person today, but honsetly...its midnight and I just barely got home for the day...not kidding.
Anyways, I was hoping to learn something about Joe on that post that I didn't know and really there was nothing. My favorite one is that he loves sewing bones and gums.
So cute. I read your mom's post about him too. I loved it. Happy Birthday Joe!
You hate frogs? How can you? I didn't know that. I love holding frogs and snakes and other amphibians. I held a huge yellow Boa in downtown LA last week...
