Birthday Week

This week on the blog, all posts will be about the guy standing next to me in this picture:

As most of you have probably guessed, this week is all about Steven/Steve because he turns 26 on Friday!

In his honor, I will be posting something about him everyday (or mostly everyday) this week, including our celebrations. We already had one celebration but since I don't have pictures yet, I will talk about that later.

First, I want to make a list of things you may or may not know about Steven:

- He has been into weight lifting lately

- He cleans the apartment more than I do

- He likes to read his scriptures in Portuguese (served a mission in Brazil)

- Steven can be quite the prankster/tease in the workplace (or so I hear, right Kiesha?)

- He reads quite a bit. Especially historical type books.

- He's been especially nice and has watched Pride and Prejudice with me- the 6 hour version with Colin Firth, and kind of enjoyed it I believe

- This probably goes along with the apartment cleaning one: I haven't cleaned the shower ONCE since we have been married, he always does it. I am one lucky gal.

- Steven wants to name a child after one of his favorite video game characters (Jon Marston or something)... yeah. not happening.

- His favorite places to eat are Cafe Rio and Tucanos

- He is named after his dad's best friend growing up

- His middle name is Alden and it was his Grandpa's middle name

- One of his dream jobs would involve designing video games, or testing them. Who wouldn't like that, really? 

- He really, really likes chocolate. I guess I have worn off on him.

- He's mad that we have gone to Yellowstone 3 times and he still hasn't seen a bear (I've seen a cub while hiking in semi-back country before. Knowing the mama must be around somewhere, that was enough for me).

- He plays "expert" on guitar hero

- One of his dream cars is a Subaru Outback (we go for reliable)

- He plays the piano and organ gloriously well

- He wishes we lived in Australia - ok not really, but it is somewhere he'd like to visit sometime. 

And that concludes my list for now. Keep watching the blog, I will be posting more Steven related things.
