Happy Birthday Josh!

Today Josh turned the big 2-6. Okay, so 26 isn't really a big one, and it's probably a good thing because this was a very low key birthday. I made pancakes for breakfast, and a chocolate cake for dessert, but other than that it was just another day in the life of a med student who has a practical on Friday and a midterm on Monday. But in his honor, and in no particular order, here are some things you may or may not know about Josh...


  • He is very much a morning person. Not to say he doesn't enjoy sleeping in when he gets the chance, but whenever he wakes up he is unseasonably perky.

  • He will eat almost anything as long as it is drenched in sauce. He does not, however, like sour cream, whipped cream, ranch- any of the fatty white sauces. Probably a good thing!

  • He would say that he is not necessarily the smartest person, but works the hardest.

  • He is a very proud papa and loves showing Shane off and talking about his most recent developments.

  • He is probably the friendliest person I know, and goes out of his way to meet or talk to people.

  • He can't remember lyrics to songs to save his life- doesn't even matter if it's a song he's sung since childhood, he ends up making up words or switching them.

  • He loves shows like NCIS, Law Order, CSI...

  • If he knows he is going to buy something, he spends days/weeks researching it online before buying it, and has a lot of fun doing it I think!

  • He chopped off part of his right pinkie in high school wood shop, and has fun scaring/educating little kids with it.

  • His favorite room in our house is probably the bathroom, and he's managed to finish quite a few books in there.

  • He can't resist a bowl of peanut butter cup ice cream.

  • He rarely remembers dreaming about anything- maybe a few times a year.

  • He watches Shane while he's getting ready so I can sleep in.

  • He doesn't really like soda all that much, just the occasional Sprite or Fanta.

I love you Josh! Happy birthday!!!

Happy belated birthday Josh! That was fun to read. I figured some of those things... the friendly, goes out of his way to meet people thing. What a great quality! I laughed about the bathroom thing, and am jealous about the morning thing. I so wish I were a morning person. Really, you can't even talk to me before 10am, or I'm sure to bite your head off!! Wyatt also wakes up and plays with Tate, so I can sleep in... we are SO lucky Kell. I can't wait to tell him that Josh also does that- pretty sure he thinks he is the ONLY husband on earth that does that.

I can't believe you admitted his favorite room in the house is the bathroom. Kelly, isn't that a bit embarrassing? haha.
