Happy Birthday Ian!


Ian turned 30 on the 11th. (I am a little behind on my blogging). He has come a long way since this picture. Here are 30 things about Ian...
1. He is a collector. He loves to collect music, books, DVDs, vintage clothes and RVCA t-shirts to name a few.
2. He plays basketball at least 3 times a week, religiously. He is often "player of the week" in his city league, due to his 3 point shot.
3. He loves a good deal. He loves all things outlet or discount.
4. He was meant to live in the eighties.
5. Was born on March 11th, 1979 in Torrance, CA.
6. He is a tease, especially to his sisters.
7. He is a good daddy.
8. He loves movies. He has introduced Addi to all of the greats that he grew up on... "The Gremlins," "Labyrinth," and "Short Circuit" to name a few.
9. He loves music. To create it, play it and to listen to it. He loves it. I always tease him that if he had to choose between me and music, I am not sure that I would win.
10. He played soccer and did karate as a kid.
11. He flirts with strangers, especially people who do not speak English or who are elderly.
12. He aspires to be a writer.
13. He is a foodie, and would have liked to go to culinary school.

19. He is a self-proclaimed nerd.
20. He spends many late nights on-line playing x-box with his sister and friends. So if you hear "Come on guys, let's stick together!" coming from our house at 1 am, that is why.
21. He really wants to get back into camping, but does not have a very supportive wife in that aspect of our lives.
22. He is an Eagle Scout.

30. He loves his many hobbies and is good at them.
