My wonderful husband Scott is turning 39 today! So in honor of this occasion, I am listing 39 random facts about Scott that show why he is so amazing!
- 1- Scott is 6'2" tall but he wishes he were taller.
- 2-Scott is a great dad! He loves his daughters and is super supportive (Tay may say overly-supportive at times). He takes off work to go to plays, games, and other special events. He wants to know everything they are doing and he does his very best to make sure they know he loves them.
- Scott is a family man. If there is a choice, Scott will always choose to be home with me and the girls. He loves spending time together, even if it is just sitting home watching each other play on the computer.
- Scott is very photogenic...not to mention amazingly handsome.
- Scott was born in St.Paul/Minneapolis, moved with his family to Fargo, ND, and then to SLC.
- Scott is brilliant. He is super smart and can learn/do just about anything he sets his mind to. I think Taylor inherited this trait from him. I remember in college, he would be facing a challenging programming issue and wake up in the middle of the night with the answer his mega-brain had been processing in his sleep.
- Scott makes us laugh. If you don't know this side of him, you don't know him well enough yet. He has a dry, sharp, sometimes cynical sense of humor, but I just get it! He cracks me up on a regular basis.
- Scott has never had a cavity!
- In High School, Scott was in the band, a sports manager, and school mascot. He also worked at AlphaBeta to earn money for college.
- Scott loves trains! He has a train room full of beautiful works of art and engineering. He picked up this hobby as a boy, but has really started taking it seriously in the past 5 years. He was just recently written up in the paper for his latest Train Show exhibition. He loves to show off his latest and greatest creations. Just ask!!!
- Scott's favorite color is BLUE!
- Scott is loving! One of my favorite things about Scott is that he says "I love you" to me everyday, many times a day. He never leaves the house without saying it in the morning and he never goes to bed without saying it at night. And usually he says it about a hundred times in between.
- Scott does his own laundry and does dishes almost every day! He (almost) never complains about anything else I ask him to help with around the house either. He is very generous about helping me whenever I ask, and even if I don't.
- Scott loves sports and is quite an expert with rules and other nuances of the games. It drives me crazy whenever we're watching a sporting event and Scott will make a comment about what just happened that is echoed seconds later by the commentators on TV. It justs one of his gifts.
- Scott's (not-so) secret dream job is to be a train engineer.
- Scott hasn't had a soda-pop in about 10 years. He gave it up when he found out he was diabetic, just before his 30th birthday. I don't think he's had one sip since. Amazing will power!
- Scott loves biking! He biked to work and back for the majority of the past 6 years. One year he even logged over 3000 miles on his bike. He's been hit by cars twice, I think; and he's been just about anywhere a bike can go in St. George.
- Scott's favorite 80's band is Def Leppard.
- Scott is very supportive of me and my crazy stuff! He encourages me to write, to play, to sing--to pretty much do whatever I feel I need to be doing at the moment. He is so great to help drive kids, or stay home while I'm out at Girls Nights or classes or meetings or whatever! He always says when I'm happy, he's happy. How great is that?
- Scott has about 5 email addresses.
- Scott loves his dogs. He never had a pet as a child and he is head over heels in love with our dog Blackberry, and to a lesser extent, with Cricket. He could play fetch with Bubba for hours. They adore him too!
- Scott is an early bird. He wakes up every day about 5:30 and is always the first one to work in the morning around 6:30 or 7:00 am.
- Scott is kind of a geek. :)
- Scott's favorite movie is Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back.
- Scott was once in a TV commercial dressed as Darth Vader.
- Scott is a closet Twilight fan. He's just finished reading the book while walking on the treadmill in the morning.
- Scott is pretty handy. He's been channeling his inner Tim Taylor in the past few years. He built a wall in the garage, installed a ceiling fan, and repaired our washing machine, and has been mastering the few tools he's acquired, while constantly wishing he had more.
- Scott has a great singing voice.
- Scott is a wonderful friend. He has become friends with several "older gentlemen" in his train club and I love that he thinks nothing of the so-called "generation gap."
- Scott loves kids. He really is a natural teacher. Whether with the kids in Primary or at the train shows, or coaching a team, he loves seeing them smile and enjoy something he has created or taught them--most especially if the kids are named Jesienouski.
- Scott is passionate. When Scott decides to do something, he does it ALL the way. He throws himself into projects and does it the way he wants. This is something I admire very much about him
- Scott is an Aquarius which means he is shy, with strong convictions, sometimes hiding the depths of his personality under a layer of frivolity. Fits, I think.
- Scott's favorite food, among several favorites, is Italian Sausage...or anything with Italian Sausage in it. He especially loves going to Olive Garden for Zuppa Tuscana and salad.
- Scott is good with money, and by this, I mean he doesn't really spend any. He has made a great effort to keep us out of debt and is very thrifty, much to his wife's dismay.
- Scott cooks the meals at our house about once a week.
- Besides working for the state, Scott also runs a computer business on the side, is an officer in his train club, and serves in our church.
- Scott is very creative. Trains, websites, logos, graphics...he has a very creative mind and finds lots of ways to put it to use. I remember in college he made a basketball court out of masking tape in his dorm room. I never saw it personally, but I heard about it...it was legendary.
- Scott is a wonderful provider for our family. He works hard and makes sure that his family wants for nothing. He leads out in making sure we are having Family nights, family prayer, and scripture study. He encourages us to be better in every way. He is always the first to suggest improvement projects and fun activities.
- Scott is the best father, husband, son, brother, friend a person could have. We are so blessed to have this man in our lives. I have known Scott for 18 of his 39 years--that's about half his life-- and he only gets better with each passing year. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with this wonderful man.
We love you, Scott! I hope your day is amazing. Thanks for sharing your life with us!!!
Thanks honey! I love you!
