Today is my hubby's 26th birthday! In honor of this great day, I'm going to share 26 things about him that many people don't know. I hope this will help you get to know him, as many of you still haven't met him in person!!
1) He is incredibly musically gifted. He plays the piano/keyboard, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and drums...self-taught on all of them.
2) He is incredibly artistically gifted. He can draw, paint, airbrush, and do wood carvings.
3) He has 1 sister and 1 brother. His sister lives in Miami with her family and his brother lives in Santiago, DR, with his family.
4) His nephew and niece were both born on Christmas day...one year apart.
5) He loves to sing and rap. Oh, did I mention that he writes music, too?? Yep, he does!!
6) His dad is a pastor of two churches.
7) He likes to wear big, baggy clothes...the "gangsta" look. I must interject here, though, that he looks very presentable and nice. He wears a belt...so he's not always trying to hold up his pants with one hand. This small thing (the belt) makes certain members of my family happy, but I won't mention their names here.
8) He is obsessed with his hair. He has these beautiful ringlets that frame his face, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Obsessed is the only word I know to describe it....he honestly takes longer than I do to get ready to go out.
9) We call him the "slash" guy at work. He works for TEARS as the construction/maintenance/messenger/PR/translator/gopher guy.
10) He now loves Dr. Pepper (thanks to yours truly). It's not sold here in the DR, but we occasionally find it in some random, hole-in-the-wall place....or someone ships some to us. On those rare occasions when it is actually present in our home, it is a fight to see who will drink it!! In the meantime, our Dr. Pepper-flavored Jelly Bellies sustain us! :-)
11) He cooks an AMAZING spaghetti sauce that melts in your mouth!!
12) He hates to read (in his words, "I strongly dislike it.")
13) He learned to speak English by watching TV. Among his favorite English shows? Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, House, and the Cosby Show.
14) He doesn't like sweets very much. They make his teeth hurt.
15) His current toothbrush is blue and white.
16) He likes to play Scrabble (preferably in Spanish).
17) He LOVES to work puzzles.
18) His favorite foods include tacos, fajitas, and chili.
19) His favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:28.
20) He eats corn on his hot dogs (a very common thing here in the DR).
21) When he drinks coffee in the morning, he likes it with milk and sugar. When he drinks it in the afternoon, he likes it with sugar only.
22) He likes science fiction movies and shows.
23) He loves computers and anything that has to do with graphics on the computer. PhotoShop, AfterEffects, Premier, etc.
24) He likes to match his clothes...hat, shirt, shoes, etc....this is all part of the "gangsta" look (refer to #7). My friend, Joy, calls this "matchy, matchy, poo-poo" and that makes me laugh!!!! :-)
25) He has a very strong sense of taste. He can tell you all the ingredients of any food he puts in his mouth.
26) He likes country music!!!!! yay!!! He once wrote me a country song (available in stores: July 3020).
And one to grow on: in his own words, "I love my girls more than life itself!"
Happy Birthday, Baby! I love you!!!!!
