14 things about Michael

How did it get to be February already!? Since Valentines Day is this Friday I thought I would write a post about my amazing boyfriend Michael. For those of you that don't really know Michael I will start with a little background update. About 4 years ago I was sophomore in college home for winter break just hanging out with my friends. Almost all of my best friends from High School went to middle school together along with Michael and all of his best friends. Over break I was hanging out with my best friend Bianca and we found ourselves at our friend John's house all the time. Michael is John's bet friend and that's were I really started to to talk to him. I wish our story was more romantic but really it started out with us texting for a few months and one drunken night later I made out with him. We went backwards a little bit from there and started dating, finally made it official in July 2010. Michael works out of town on the east coast most of the time but we managed to get through college and his crazy travel schedule for the last 4 years and I am just as in love with him now I was then. Since Valentines falls on the 14th Here is 14 random facts about Michael.

1. He is the hardest worker, even if it means he has to be away from me he gives his work 100% 

2. He is very sarcastic, this little quality used to annoy me but now I know how to respond, I usually just go along with his sarcasm even though I know he is kidding. 

3. He will always help me when I'm stressed out and I need to calm down...which is often. Whether its cleaning the house or going grocery shopping etc. he will always make sure I get done what I'm stressing about.

4. He is so giving, he always wants to help others out whether its his family, friends or even strangers.

5. If there is a car broken down in the middle of the road he will always get out and help the person push their car or hook up a tow strap, etc. I have never seen him drive by someone in need. Just the other day he saw a boy get in a crash on his motorcycle so he stopped, loaded up the boys motorcycle in the back of his truck and then drove him home. 

6. He can not stand still when he is on the phone, he will walk in circles around the house, up and down the stairs etc. If hes is on the phone while driving he will drive around in circles in a parking lot. so weird lol

7. His favorite place in the whole world is his garage. I couldn't tell you what he does out there, I swear he spends more time organizing it then he actually does on projects..but oh well its his thing I guess.

8. His dream vacation is to go back-packing through Ireland. He has a million frequent flyer miles racked up and he won't touch them because they are reserved for Ireland.

9. He doesn't like sweets very much....This is something I have trouble with because I crave them and he could care less about them. He will go get ice cream or frozen yogurt with me though.

10. He loves sports, he talks about them all the time with his friends I wonder how he knows so much because I never see him watching ESPN.

11. His favorite Restaurant was this little Ghetto Burger/Teriyaki place in Auburn that closed down last year. We have yet to find Spicy Teriyaki as good as it was at Chuby's!

12. He falls asleep on the couch 75% of the time he is home. I usually go to bed alot earlier then him and most mornings I wake up and Michael isn't there. I walk down the stairs and sure enough he is asleep on the couch without a pillow or blanket. I used to take offense to this but I know he doesn't do it on purpose.

13. He puts hot sauce on EVERYTHING! I should get him a little belt loop holster for hot sauce, and he would probably wear it.  

14. I'm Michael's first real girlfriend (besides those 2 weeks middle school relationships), I guess he chose right because we are coming up on 4 years together!
