Romance is in the Air

Okay, so I'm not very romantic. But Martha wants me to post something romantic in honor of Valentine's Day. So here is my pathetic attempt....

Things about my hubby...


He's good looking even with the grey hairs and receding hairline!

He's been married to me for almost 20 years now (May 23rd!).

He'd love to quit his job but he's waiting for God to show him where he's supposed to be.

He frequently says, "Relax!"

He took flying lessons when we were first married.

He hates dressing up - which is good cuz so do I!

He's 6 feet tall.

His favorite sport is NASCAR. (I don't really think it's a sport - but he insists it is!)

His favorite driver is Tony Stewart.

He doesn't like to swim.

He says he can't float on his back - but that's cuz he refuses to put his ears in the water.

Tony Stewart, oh no! Michael would be horrified. He loves Nascar too, but says he can't stand Tony Stewart.
My husband eats french fries with a fork too.
Never heard of Strip Monopoly. How's that played?

Shelly said...

LOL! Well... everytime you land on 'go to jail' you have to take something off. I couldn't believe how many times I landed on that space in one game!!! My husband loved it... I think he had maybe one sock off and there I sat... well, I'll spare you the details.

Shelly said...

How 'bout Jimmie Johnson?! Go Jimmie Go!!

In our family everyone likes someone different... Jr., Kane, Stewart, oh and I guess Jessi switched over to Jimmie so there's two Jimmie fans now! :)

Martha said...

Wow! Your list is even longer (and much more graphic) than mine. Good job. My hubby is also handsome with his few gray hairs.
Now Rach and Dave have a brand new game to play. (Shelly, you have quite the imagination!) I can just imagine you sitting there shivering and him telling you to "relax!" LOL!

And I thought Aunt Rachel was funny!

Rachel said...

Shelley, you are too funny! My husband can't wait to play. LOl!

Shelly said...

Have fun! But, you just might want to have a roaring fire going!!!

Shelly said...

You know... I was playing ping pong with hubby tonight and I began to think of new ways to play ping pong... this is getting scary!!! LOL.
