Happy Birthday Dan!!!

Saturday January 24 was Dan's birthday. It stared out for me waking up at the crack of dawn and making cinnamon rolls from scratch. It took forever for the dough to raise because our house is sub-zero! Dan did not get up until 10 am. Just in time for the rolls. After eating he wanted to go back to bed to snuggle. Yeah right-snuggle; I had other thoughts but nope he fell asleep and so I read while he slept and snuggled up. He woke up at 12:30 and was like man we slept a lot. I laughed. He showered and pouted a touch because I did not join him...I already had my shower:)



We then went to the east hills of Portland and looked at a 1973 Dodge truck. After working on it for a while to get it to start Dan decided to buy it. Then he talked the man down to half price! Amazing! We then had to get a trailer to transport it to our house. So now it is 8 pm at night. It has been a cold wet day. I am grumpy and feel bad because it is his birthday. So we go to Red Robin for dinner. Dan got the whole song and balloon and sundae treatment. It was fun to watch him be like a kid!
I tried to get a better pic and out came the tongue....that blasted yet wonderful thing!





This was taken on New Years in Hermiston. Dan is using his plasma torch to cut up the body of an old Jeep.

My pyro....

Dan getting ready to go to drill for the Nat. Guard. See he does own a razor;)

I have to be sneaky taking pics because when he knows about it his tongue finds its way into the pic.

In this pic Dan was really upset at his mother. This is his Jeep Willeys that he is building from all sorts of parts...

Here Dan is sitting in the hall waiting for class to start. I went with Dan to the first day of class just for fun.

See that tongue ;-P

Dan is thinking hard on his birthday.He is reading an invitation from the military for a formal dinner. Should he go or should he stay...

I dont remember when this was taken. How cute is he all snuggly in my WSU Dental Hygiene blankie

Last but not least. This is Dan's butt! He climbed into the Dodge truck to tighten the power steering belt. It was snowing at the time. And I thought it would be funny to show the world his butt once again.
But mostly I want the world to know how wonderful I think he is. I know Dan to be a caring man. He is a wonderful companion. He has some serious skills. Dan makes me smile. He makes me laugh. He tickles me until I do...which is great when I am being a pill. He is a great driver and multi tasker! He loves me and that makes him a genius! He is a dreamer and children lover. His eyes leak while watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition! He lets my eyes leak and never freaks out about it. I love his butt. I love his heart. I love his scruff and I love his razor clean face. And while he loves onions and pizza--not my favs I still love this man who had a birthday on Saturday. I love him more that I thought possible. Happy Birthday Baby!
