[For the record, I was raised (and raise my kids) to believe that “shut up” is the equivalent of a 4-letter word. Once I chose the above picture, however, the old Mary Chapin Carpenter song (which you can click to listen to at the bottom of the post) came to mind, and the title was born.]
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about my husband. He’s been nothing but supportive of my trip to Photoshop World with Tina next week; however, I think he’s getting a little jealous that I keep gushing about all the instructors and how excited I am about the chance to hear them speak, have them autograph my books, meet them, and pick their brains.
Don’t you know that you’re the only one for me, Bun? In your honor I present (drum roll, please)…
10 Quirky and/or Endearing Things about My Hubby
- You keep my blog set as your home page, even if you don’t always read it (as evidenced by your inability to identify the word “purple-itioner“).
- Your enduring love for 80s big hair bands (this one is quirky, because it’s not necessarily endearing).
- You can fix almost anything.
- You do a great Elvis impersonation.
- We’re a good match: you know hardware, I know software.
- You fell for me when I had braces.
- You don’t act like you can’t take care of your own children.
- You watch the ridiculous number of period pieces that I order from Netflix, plus you have seen the entire 5-hour A&E Pride and Prejudice miniseries twice with me in the last nine months. I think this qualifies you for sainthood in the eyes of most men.
- You endure my George Strait obsession without complaint.
- When you see this post in the morning, you’ll probably call me and ask me out on a date tonight. How’s Mexican? (you also don’t complain that I always want Mexican or burgers). [OOPS! The kids have their first football game with marching band tonight – rain check!]
- Bonus: You never steal my gummy bears.
I do not, however, approve of your plan to “show the kids who the fun parent is” while I’m in Vegas. It would be wrong for you to tube the hooch without me. Dead wrong. Don’t do it!!!
The gummy bear thing. VERY important.
=)
Cute list!
Awww…we love him, too, Dawn! Hi, Brian!!! This is such a cute entry. You could add one from all of the kids at Bethany now and in the past–funnest dad to play with after church, hands down!
Love,
Jolie
Any man that would keep your 8 kids while you run off to LV is a keeper. Not to mention the eye-candy factor. 🙂

Elaines last blog post..It’s the SSVS!
Oh, I just got all sappy and happy inside reading this. What a great guy (my husband would rather die than watch chick flicks, but he does do it off and on – and always CRIES!!!!).
You two are the cutest couple in Georgia!
sprittibees last blog post..Happy Birthday Jacque!
You are hilarious. Y’all make such an adorable couple – and I’m totally with you on the “shut up” thing – but sometimes nothing else fits (as in the case of this photo!) 🙂
Sweeter than tea and gummy bears! And far more valuable. What a great post. 😀

LOL thanks for the giggle tonight Dawn. What a fun relationship you must have.
Sisterlisas last blog post..Children Serving in the Community
what a guy! A&E??
I think I got Charlie to watch one of those kind of movies once. He asked too many questions all the way through, so now I don’t usually tell him when I’m watching one.

He’s a keeper, Dawn. Love the hardware software thing. And I love the photo – you two are adorable.
Too Cute Dawn! I love to find a post that puts a big ole smile on my face.
I found it tonight!!
Have an awesome time letting God Bless your socks off!

Came over from ProBlogger. Good title.
Wow, Pride and Prejudice twice in 9 months. Impressive.
And I thought I was good for sitting through Project Runway and Sheer Design AND watching the reruns again for the past few months.
Illuminatis last blog post..A Labor Day suggestion…
Too cute. 😉 I have to agree I too have a George Strait obsession. hehehehe…
killlashandras last blog post..ShooShoos
This is so sweet. I love brag on your man blog posts. I think they ought to be more popular around the blogosphere don’t you?

Yes…ditto, Jolie! Bryan is THE best “Fun-Dad-at-church!” He is one of my favorite people…(along with his wife!) …a man who looks awesome in bright blue…and never fails to tell you how nice you look (as encouraged by his wife so her friends can feel good!)… and is always smiling! Bryan is just an all-round great guy…like my hubby!!!
Aww too sweet!
Ha! My husband watched all of the period movies with me also, but now I have him hooked! (And we have the same strange fondness of 80’s hair bands around here, unfortunately Guitar Hero just adds to that quirk)
Sheris last blog post..Columns are DONE!
Precious! My beloved is earning major hubby-points this week by learning to ‘shut up and hold me’ thru my tears & worries, as our son goes thru major surgery. I think I need to go kiss him too tho…
Thanks for the sweet reminder!
