Today is Adam’s 24th birthday. Finally, I’m not the older woman any more! 🙂

I am actually throwing Adam a surprise party this evening, so today is going to be crazy. I kept the guest list tiny, but it’s a dinner party and I’m making his mom’s lasagna for the first time, so I’m betting things will be a little hectic.

I promise to do a full recap later, but for now I won’t have time to be posting. Instead, I’ll leave you with a list of 12 (half of 24, which seemed excessive) fun facts about the husband –

1. He had tuberculosis his senior year of high school.
2. He loves to scuba dive.
3. He speaks German fluently. He’s taught me bits and pieces, most notably a poem about hedgehogs.
4. He volunteered with Teach for America in NYC for two years between college and med school.
5. He’s a mega dork – he plays both the saxophone and table tennis.
6. As a microbiology major in college he worked on studies in HIV, Leprosy, and anti-aging.
7. He calls me Mouse and I call him Bear.
8. He loves moss, like a lot.
9. He has no sense of smell. He wasn’t born without one, his sister tricked him into inhaling smell salts when they were kids.
10. He has a man crush on Gerard Butler and Ryan Reynolds.
11. He used to collect national park stamps.
12. He can skin a human in two minutes (medical school fact!).
13. I love him a lot!

Do you have a pet name for your significant other? Super cheese or are you on a first name basis? We always always say Mouse and Bear now (unless Adam’s calling me a turnip!) but we’ve pretty much never used names. If Adam called me Emily I’m not sure I would know he was talking to me.
