It is Brad’s Birthday today. He turns the big 28. I thought I would share with you some things you may or may not know about him.

• He loves his job and the people he works with.
• Family and friends are very important to him.
• He is intelligent and creative, which makes the best combo.
• He always has a grin on his face.
• He can win anyone at trivia games (Micah he will give you a run for your money).
• He is the most patient person I know.
• He can usually name any font pictured on a billboard, ad, etc.
• He is very aware of fashion and is usually ahead of the trend.
• He is a hard worker.
• He is spiritual, faithful and obedient.
• He loves to eat a peanut butter spoon with a glass of chocolate milk as a snack.
• He is a great dancer (He has a unique style).
• He is very loving and gentle.
• He used to be scared of babies, dogs and old people but now loves them all.
• His favorite t.v. shows are America’s Most Funniest Home Videos, Hannah Montana and Lost.
• He whistles all of the time.
• He gets so excited about every little thing.
• He has a very dry wit (I didn’t know this for the first 6 months of dating him).
• He is happiest when he is with all of his closest friends.
• He is very nostalgic.
• He has very strong opinions about pretty much everything.
• He will make the best dad and I can’t wait to see how he interacts with our children.
• He gets along with anyone.
• He is so likable.
• Best of all, he makes me a better person and is a wonderful, loving support to me.

I love you Brad thank you for being the great person you are. Happy Birthday.

We are home, we are tired, and we had fun. So many adventures and stories and photos. I think I’ll be posting about it all week.

Stay tuned.

This morning we learned the gender of our baby. We are having a boy. This whole thing seems a lot more real now and I am starting to freak out. I just hope that little guy likes me.

How about $5* to the person that comes up with a usable name for said baby. Please leave a comment below.

*Payable only if we use your name and we hadn’t already thought of it ourselves. Don’t expect us to tell the name until said baby is born because we don’t want the name to be discussed in a negative manner, judged, or stolen.

Replace Kevin Bacon (I’ve always been a big fan) with me and Elizabeth McGovern (who ever that is) with Maeve.

Baby due April 10, 2008. Stay tuned for more info.

Thanks to FranklinCovey we got to make our annual pilgrimage to Lagoon today. I do love that place.

After being there today with my camera I almost want to go back just to take pictures. I should have gotten my Bounce Back ticket.

So I got home yesterday safe and sound. It was a long day/days of travel but I’m not too jet lagged. Maeve will be home soon and then life will be back to normal (right Maeve?).

Upon my return to work I was informed that everyone has been too busy and therefore did not have any funny stories for me. Weak.

I put up all of my pictures on Flickr, check them out. I think Maeve has some special ones to add but they are on her camera/computer still.
