Nathan's 28 Things

A friend of ours did a list of things about her husband for his birthday, one for each year. I'd told Nathan about it and said I'd do it for his birthday. Oops. I forgot. I guess he was really looking forward to it though because today he reminded me of it and told me how disappointed he was that I hadn't done it yet. Sorry Nathan! I love you!

1.) Nathan loves to play "pile on the bunny" with the kids. Sometimes he puts one of them under the beanbag chair and flops on top of it. Other times they all just lay on top of each other and yell, "Pile on the bunny!!!"
2.) Nathan is the second of five kids, three boys, two girls.
3.) He is in his first year of dental school.
4.) He signed up for the Army to pay for it and we are actually really looking forward to it.
5.) Nathan was recently called to the Young Men's Presidency.
6.) Nathan got his Eagle Scout Award when he was 14.
7.) His two favorite foods are chicken enchiladas with green sauce and shrimp jambalaya.

10.) Nathan loves to make people laugh.
11.) He's good at #10.

22.) He always gives in when we take the kids to get pictures taken and I want to get more than we agreed on before going in the studio.
