Christian turns 30 years old!


30 Tidbits about Christian

1. Christian's nickname growing up was "Chicken," not because he is one, but because one of his friends had a lisp and couldn't say his name.

2. He does not like being in big crowds one bit

3. His favorite food is Indian food, but he rarely gets to eat it because his wife hates it!

4. He has an amazing sense of humor and can always use it to get out of an argument with his wife.

5. His mom will laugh at anything he says, she thinks he is hysterical! Many times this does not make his sister Maren happy, because she can say the same thing and not get the same reaction.

6. He is an incredibly gifted musician!

7. He teaches piano students and when he left one of his students in Louisville they cried.

8. He takes great care of McDuff and is so cute with him, I can only imagine how great he is going to be with our baby!

Happy birthday! When I (Christina) read this and said "Christian just turned 30" Brooke said "Poor guy." Of course, that's coming from a 31-year-old, so you're in good company! :)
Also, I'm happy to see that you also enjoy FotC.

Happy Birthday Christian! I laughed because 2-5 are also totally Joel! They have a lot in common. Except for #15; Joel likes boring, branny cereals. I think he is a weirdo for that.
Hope you had a wonderful day!

A. I was not a party to the dressing up in girls clothes thing...I just made him play barbies with me.

B. Christian looks funnier than me, no wonder my mom always laughs at him.
