olives disgust him… and a bunch of other fun facts about michael

He loves to take the craziest pictures of himself. Seriously, this is what happens when I leave him with the camera for .02 seconds. (Even when I’m taking the photo, he still makes an insanely goofy face…)

He’s disgusted by olives. Someone served him a Greek salad while he was on his church mission (which meant that he had to eat it to be polite) that had tons of olives with olive dressing. He doesn’t even like to look at them now.

He’s not a runner, but it’s not by choice. His legs start to hurt so easily because he did too much running in a short period of time when training for high school wrestling and injured himself…

…which is why he’s a cyclist. He’s completed a 65-mile and a 100-mile “Tour de Cure” and I’m so proud of him._MG_4418He has this amazing ability to care for others. I’ve never seen anyone understand people and their needs the same way Michael does. He can discern what’s in a person’s heart, and then he perfectly consoles them, even when there are extreme emotions involved.

He’s a software developer, which means he spends a lot of time on the computer… but he has created some amazing websites and apps! He is so fortunate to love his work as much as he does.

He doesn’t do anything halfway. When Michael commits to something (whether it’s a project or even our marriage), he gives it his full effort and whole heart.

He’s the best daddy in the whole world. At least, that’s what Birdy and I would say. And we’re the only two who get a vote on that, so it’s definitely true.
