Reality Check...

Before I start, Bloggin' is/can be manly! There are sports blogs, hunting blogs and all sorts of stuff... But, I will still call it "Bloggin'" so that I feel better about it. K moving on...
So after reading through the plethora of posts that Lauren has put up here I figure that I should throw one up here to keep things in perspective. With only one person posting things can get a little biased so I don't want you folks to think that I am too great, great I may be, but not too great. Since she has so graciously shared the one or two highlights that exist, making me out to be such a great husband, I figured that I should not only share some of the amazing things that she does but also shed light on a weakness or two that she hasn't shared... I am sure you gals (cuz I know that there are no dudes that read these blog things) can sympathize with what I will say.
So first, all the good stuff about Lauren... :) She has told a story about her birthday so its time for mine. First thing you need to know about Lauren is that she knows me better than anyone, and so she uses my needs to her advantage. I was sitting at work and Alex comes over to my desk, picks up my phone and walks away. A minute later he comes back and says, "Yup, I thought so..." and once again, walked away. About twenty minutes later I find out that my loverly wife has been plotting to send me pizza at work... 1st need understood, I love pizza! Next we went out to dinner, where you might ask, Texas Roadhouse, need #2 I love steak! While at dinner she gave me my present which was a gift card to Cabelas so that I could get myself a gun that I had been wanting for quite some time, need #3 I am a hillbilly that loves guns. Also she let me watch basketball while at dinner, need #4.. As you can see they are piling up. I could go on and on but I think I will end there because it was my birthday and somethings don't need to be said. So it short, it was the best birthday EVER and its all because of my amazing wife.
Next reason she is so awesome! This was a few months ago, October to be exact. As already mentioned I am a hillbilly who loves guns and every October there is a small event called the deer hunt. Some of you may be familiar with this, it is another reason why Lauren is so amazing, to those of you that don't know, we got married on October 9th and not later in the month so that there would never be a conflict with opening day of deer season and our anniversary. Love you Lauren! But last year Lauren decided to not only let me go but she tagged along. It was so much fun, if you ask me, Lauren was even present when the only deer that was harvested that year was taken. What a good sport. Once again, she must love me.
So not that you know that Lauren is so amazing let us take me off my pedestal that Lauren has created. I am just going to do this in list format, cuz its easier that way. 1. I am addicted to hunting and fishing, meaning that when I can afford it there will be many times that I will be gone for days on end. Also, I like to watch hunting and fishing shows.. Yes Brian, your not alone. 2. I am addicted to sports and though Lauren is such a good sport I know she hates it. TNT 40 days of playoff basketball and march madness is the worst time of the year, for her. #3 I eat way to late at night.. I am a snacker! #4 This may be blatantly obvious to some of you by now, but I have horrible grammar so anytime I write a paper, Lauren has to make sure I didn't mess it up too bad. (Please don't tell any of my professors.) #5 I am currently in the process of making a "Man Cave" in the garage and Lauren does nothing but smile anytime I talk about it cuz she knows it lame. And last but not least, #6 I sing in the shower, loud and not well. This wouldn't be a big deal... if the downstairs neighbors had not commented on my singing. I think multiple times, but I continue to do it, cuz I love it.
Well this is all from me for now, sorry it is so long but to be honest the posts from me will be few and far between so I had to make an impact. Toodaloo.
