So Kim tagged me again, this time it is all about our men.The above picture is Matt on a fire call. I have to say my hubby is amazing, I don't know where I would be without him. Matt is such a great guy, I truly don't know how he does all that he does for our family. So here is a little bit about the love of my life.......
Name: Matthew Oral Birch
How Long Have You Been Married? 15 1/2 years
How Long Did You Date? 1 1/2 years
How Old Is He? 34
Who Eats More? Usually Matt, I have been known to eat more pizza though
Who Said "I Love You" First? I honestly don't remember, probably Matt. He was such a sweet talker when we were dating........not really.
Who Is Taller? Matt, by at least 10 inches
Who Sings Better? Me for sure, but I hear he did sing a pretty mean Johnny Cash Karaoke in Sturgis.
Who Is Smarter? It depends on who you ask: )Matt is such an intelligent guy, he is book smart but also street smart( not like gangster).He amazes me all the time with what he is able to accomplish.
Who Does The Laundry? Both. Mostly I do it because I am home more. Matt does do it better though ( he likes ironed sheets... yeah I know I don't iron sheets either.)
Who Does The Dishes? The kids.. they are 11 and 14 they should do the dishes : ).
Who Sleeps On The Right Side Of The Bed? Right now Matt does even though for 11 years it was my side of the bed. Matt is kind of a Princess when it comes to his sleeping rituals.Lets just say he needs 5 pillows, an eye mask, ocean sounds and he does like me to tuck him in : ).
Who Cooks Dinner? I usually do. I am not the best cook, I am getting so much better though. Matt is an amazing cook, I think it must be a pre-req. to be a fireman! So when he does cook it is delicious!
Who Has A Worse Temper? Ummm........yeah. Matt.
Who Drives When You Are In The Car Together? Matt. When he had both of his surgeries this year I had to drive him for a couple of weeks each time. Matt was just beside himself. He told me that we will never be one of those older couples you see with the lady driving the man around. He told me several times he was genuinely worried for our kids because of how much time they spend driving with me.
Who Is More Stubborn? Although I admit to being very stubborn. Matt wins!
Who Proposed? Matt did and man he went all out. Ladies, this was the proposal fairy tales are made of. Nothing is more romantic than " So do want want to get married or what?" while Kriss Kross ( remember them) is on MTV singing "Jump, Jump". Every time they play that song at the Jazz game when there is a jump ball... I get goosebumps.
Who Has More Friends? Matt. He is just a fun guy to be around, his laugh is so contagious.Matt always has the perfect story to tell or the joke you've never heard. He makes life fun.
Who Has More Siblings? Well we tie on that one. I have 3 and he has 3.
Whose Family Do You Spend More Time With?It is actually great that both of our families do a lot together; Family parties, activities for the kids etc.
Who Wears The Pants In The Family? I truly think it switches off, there are times I do, and times Matt does. We really have a good balance of Matt being strong where I am weak and vise versa.
What Makes You Melt About Him? Just knowing without a doubt that he loves me. He loves, protects, and supports me unconditionally. I love it when he kisses me on the back of my neck, I truly melt.
Yesterday was the 5th Grade Spelling Bee at Hunters school. As many of you know Hunter is quite the spelling genius. We have to do a custom spelling list for him each week. He has even pulled obscure words from medical dictionaries, high school spelling bees etc., and spells the words correctly. So, way to go Hunter...congrats!
Last Saturday Hunters team won again, they all had a great game. Hunter scored 4 of the 20 points. His first 2 points of the game were from this basket. Hunters form has gotten so much better, Ashlee worked with him for about 2 hours...and wow he can hit his shots!
Ok so this picture stinks, because we cant download pictures from Hunters phone. But this is a great story. All of us went to the Jazz game last week, and Hunter had his picture taken with his 2 favorite Jazz dancers, needless to say he was in Heaven. I think he still is. The dancers were so sweet to him and he was talk of all the 5th grade boys ( and I think a few older "boys" too).
