He's 35 And Still Looking Fine!

Today is Todd's birthday and he turns the big 35!

Not much planned today because we are unfortunately broke...still. But I wanted to make it a special day so I spent most of it in the kitchen. They say ONE of the ways to a mans heart is through his stomach so that is what I set out to do today.

Breakfast started out with a rhubarb crumb cake

It was mighty tasty...alot of work but still very good.

For dinner we had steak with all the fixens

And for dessert I made for the first time ever lemon meringue pie

Of course it looks innocent enough and I could stop here and not reveal the whole truth but... It's good to keep yourself humble I guess!

The honest truth is that it didn't set and turned out to be lemon soup

You can't win them all!

In honor of my birthday boy, here are 35 things you probably don't know about him

1. First of all he is just plain hot! A better looking couple has yet to be found

2. When he was 15 he went to Japan for a month and a half with some classmates

3. Todd was a Thespian in high school

4. Not a sports guy in high school. More into theatre, pottery, drawing and photography

5. His father was one of his teachers in high school

6. He hates watermelon and broccoli. He thinks they are of the devil.

7.Coffee in the morning is an absolute must

8. He is a slippers and pj's kind of guy

11. When I met him he had walking- stick bugs as pets

12. He could spend hours kite flying. (and trust me he has)

17. He talks to his mom almost everyday

25. He can actually cook

26. When he blows his nose, it's like a fog horn is blowing in the house. And his sneezes are just as loud.

27. He can fall asleep in a blink of an eye. It still amazes me how fast he can do it. Sometimes in the middle of a conversation. He has also been known to sleep standing up.

28. He is extremely loyal

29. He won't let me go to bed mad
