Happy Birthday Dan the Man

Today is Daniel’s birthday. He is 29! Old man. I’m so excited to give him his gifts. Makee and I are taking him out tonight to celebrate. Here are some fun facts about my hubby. He loves Reggae music. Bob Marley is his Rasta Man. When Dan is home, you can count on the reggae music blaring through the whole house. He is also a huge fan of Eric Clapton and 80’s Butt Rock. He has been told by many that he resembles Dwayne Johnson, aka "The Rock." He can even do the eyebrow thing like The Rock. Heather and Rob had a picture of The Rock on their fridge, and Beck told them it was Uncle Daniel. My Uncle Mark used to tell my cousin Aaron that Daniel was the star of the Scorpion movie, and he totally believed him! Dan the man loves Mexican food. He went to Mexico City on his mission, and so he loves going to the authentic Mexican restaurants and taco stands. He especially loves the places where he can speak Spanish with the people working there. He also loves learning—whether it is for school, church, work, home improvement, or anything else. He loves to solve problems and figure things out, which is why he works in a lab. He is my little scientist. He works so hard at his job and at everything he does. He has worked so hard on our project of a house. I’ve watched him rip out kitchens, walls, giant tree stumps, huge rocks and pieces of concrete, and much more. People call him an ox. They are amazed when they watch him work on a project because he works so hard and gets done so quickly. If Daniel is excited about a project, (or Christmas, or his birthday, or a trip), he cannot sleep that night, and he always gets me up extra early because he can’t contain his excitement. Some things he likes to do in his spare time: oil paint, go to Home Depot, cuddle, surf the internet, longboard, and hang out with me and the Mak Daddy. Daniel is a very thoughtful person. He is always thinking about what will make Makai and me happy. He is so patient with me, and he is so sweet to Mak. Dan is such a goofball, and I have so much fun with him. We tease each other a lot, and we laugh a lot. Danny, Makee and I love you so much! Happy birthday!
