Wo de qing ren

My Husband
Valentines Day was last week, but I still want to say why I think my husband is so great!

We met on the track and cross-country team so long ago. We actually first met in 2002! He was this crazy fun guy (still is) and when we married we thought we were the same person. Probably because we loved to run, and ate, slept, and drank running every hour of every day. The more time that passes we realize just how very different we both are, but we complement each other in so many different ways. He loves life, and lives each day to the fullest. He has taught me a lot about that. He always has something to laugh about, and likes to make others laugh. He is a very optimistic person. He is an extremely hard worker. He is always pushing himself to greater heights in everything he does, and pushes me to do the same. He speaks Chinese well and is not afraid to fight for a taxi! He won't be walked over! He speaks out for the truth, even if it means others will think less of him. He isn't afraid of what others think of him. Sometimes he dances this crazy dance whenever no one is looking, and has vowed to share it with no one but me even though I hope to catch it on camera one of these days. Whenever he hears Shakira, or Beyonce, or Black Eyed Peas, or any other hip hop or upbeat music, he'll automatically start groovin' to the beat-no matter the location. He loves Karaoke and if anyone is ever up for it-there's no question for him, he will go. He loves a party, and friends, and being with friends at parties, and there's never a time he won't want to go. He is really smart and is a quick thinker. He can write a paper, or a talk, or a presentation in under an hour! I spent my entire college career writing papers and could never write a paper that quick. Still can't. We still run together. He treats me as his equal. He loves his nieces and nephews and loves spending time with his family. He calls his parents often to check up on them. He always calls to check up on me or just to say hi at least a few times throughout the day. He is excited for our new baby. I think he'll be a great dad.















































Thanks TP for being the best and making life so fun!

Hey, of course I remember you, and of course I remember the pencil lead in Mrs. Fox's pizza! How could I forget?! Didn't we also almost get struck by lightning together on Granduer Peak with Brooke Robbins? Turns out we have quite a few great memories together. Congrats on your pregnancy, and I hope everything is going well!
