That Man Dan

I love him cause:

He's either not willing to oblige in photos....

Or he's too willing...

He's kind to animals:


(Bobby on a chain)


(Bobby the Exclusive Bretheren)


(Dances with wolves sheep)

(Sparkler VS. Buck)

(Bobby meets the roof)

(Yanking Mr Tumnus's horns)

(Teaching Bobby bad habits)

DISCLAIMER: No animals were harmed in the taking of these photos.... unless you count their dignity.

He always finds what he's looking for:

(On the rampage looking for the Cookies that I hid. He found them. R.I.P Cookies.)

He's an amazing cook:

(This picture really does no justice to this AMAZING Burger. I'd happily eat it again over Burger Fuel.)

He's ingenious:

(He made a capflap)

( He made me a preggy belly bed to watch TV)

He buys me things unexpectedly:

He's subtle:

(I forget to throw shampoo bottles out so we end up gathering somewhat of a collection in the shower. I found these in the carport. He'd thrown them out the bathroom window.)

(Proving that he's not the only one that leaves empty toilet rolls in the can.)

He's my hero:

(One day he saved my life by cutting me out of a death dress... with his pocket knife)

He's brave and eats my experiments:

His revenge is NASTY:

(I was wearing his beloved "comfy pants" so he paid me back by wearing my clean robe, singlet and undies over his filthy cow poo ridden overalls until I took the pants off and put them back.)

He's real good at taking my picture:

He fixes my broke stuff:

He gave me her:

This list will never come close to capturing even the slightest essence of the very man I married.

He's a discrete giver and it's hard for me not to shout from the roof tops all the amazing things he does in private.

But since you asked, here are some points:

*He gives away his hard earned work bonus's.

*He's only taken 1 sick day in our 4 years of marriage.

*He tried adopting an abused child.

*Last week he told me to do nothing.. no cleaning, no cooking and gave me money to spend on myself in town.

*He's the first to step in when someone is being treated unjustfully.

*He's quick to forgive me for my wrongs.

*He builds me up in public.

*He flares his nostrils when he's trying to keep a straight face.

*He doesn't mind singing a bit of SuBo in the shower.

*He warms up my side of the bed in Winter.

*He makes me a coffee EVERY morning.

*He always gives me the biggest glass of coke.

*He sings Spice Girl songs at the top of his lungs with me in the car.

*He's a perfectionist on the BBQ.

*He never strives for recognition.

*He made and keeps our vege garden in pristine condition.

*He sings to my preggy belly.

*He can make anything.

*He includes others.

*He isn't hairy.

*He lets his farts out the bottom of the bed.

*He squashes disgusting bugs for me.

*He picks me flowers.

*He's a "Gleek".

*He wrote his future wife a letter in India before he knew me and read it out during our wedding reception.

*He has a kangaroo dance.

*He takes me to Auckland to shop monthly.

*He looks good driving Utes.

*He looks even better driving Tractors.

*He wants to assemble EVERYTHING.

*He always has a good idea.

*He finds this, this and this as hilarious as I do.

*He always knows what to do.

*He's loyal (to me, friends and employers).

*He never exaggerates.

*He never pretends to be somebody else.

*His eyes are like the ocean.

*He loads the dishwasher every morning.

*He makes perfect gravy.

*He's all mine.

I love you Dan.

I'm greatful you chose me to be your wife.

Trade Me (Summer) Lovin

In between cleaning a handful of my filthish house, working a paper hat into my ensemble and looking up gross things on Google Images, I had a sweet little package or two arrive on my doorstep today.

I'm the EXTREME cheapskate bargain slayer, so when these treasured vintage finds arrived for me, ME! I was completely delighted and surprised and romanced and massaged all at once.

They were not cheap, no, no, nor were they purchases I had made.

They came in plastic courier bags and were signed from a mighty manly Pirate that goes by the name of "One Tooth Van Horne" (so this place tells me) .... otherwise known as my hot Hubby.

What a Charmer!

I just love how he plays the "I'm gonna pretend I'm not listening to a thing you say regarding the stuff you like on Trade Me" card and then completely surprises me out of the blue actually purchasing the two very things I've dreamed over for the last like two YEARS!!!!

EEEE!!!!

(If they were food I probably would have scoffed and regurgitated them over and over by now).

All together now, "Awwwwwwww".

Thats my man!

I can't wait to throw Cats at teenagers with him in our old age....

Go and be awesome.
