* I am using an image of Peter Krause since many have said that the hubs looks very much like this actor. Peter’s current role in Parenthood, actually not only looks like the hubs, but reminds me of the hubs. Except the hubs is not nearly as uptight.
Well, I guess it is time to introduce the guy that is behind the name of Pie Hole, that would be my best friend, thorn in my side, the one that can push all my buttons and at the end of the day I somehow like him enough that I don’t poison his food.
This is the man who took on a challenge me (I still think he may have lost a bet somewhere down the line) and has been the best thing that ever happened to me outside of my kids, but without him I wouldn’t have them, so that makes him the BEST thing that ever happened to me.
He can put the Pie Hole in its place and make me laugh like no other.
He has integrity that I strive to model.
He is tight good with money to the point I am almost certain my over a carat diamond engagement ring was once a piece of coal (if you don’t know how he could have made a diamond from a piece of coal, please crawl out from under that rock).
He is the most amazing daddy to my girls and it brings tears to my eyes to see this amazing bond he has with them. He is the bar that they will set for their future partners and that is a very high bar.
He wants to run and hid when emotional issues surface (God has a sick sense of humor in trying to stretch us, he was given nothing but girls, even the dog.) Can’t wait till the puberty years hit this house.
He is someone I admire and respect. He respects me and cherishes me. We see eye to eye on most everything and those we don’t we can still listen and respect each other in our stance.
He is a MacGyver in every sense of the word. That man can fix and do anything.
He has a sassy mouth and has a sarcasm that can outdo me.
He wears MC Hammer jam pants still when he lounges and it amuses many of my friends. He actually will go out of his way to put on a pair when one girlfriend comes over.
His friendships are deep and long and he is respected and successful at his work.
He is the current president of the National Nerd Herd Association, and noting is more exciting than having a house full of Mechanical Engineers on a Saturday night (seriously) It is like an episode of Jack- Ass meets Myth Busters without the stupid 12-year-old toilet humor.
I hit jack pot when I ran off to Vegas and committed my life to him at the “Garden of Love” wedding chapel. He is the only stable thing I ever had in my life outside of my God-given drive to be a strong and independent person.
He is my Polaris, my North Star. Always there never-failing and always shining.
A Piece of the Pie Hole 
awww…Now Mr. Pie Hole- untie her! She wrote all those nice things, the least you can do is let her go!
Wow, thanks Jamie, the duck tape around the piehole was starting to really hurt! I am in sappy, sap moments. It could be the DayQuil too!
I am very happy for you. To hook up with a good person was not in the stars for me so I know how valuable what you have is and how rare rare it is to find. Cherish it. Good luck.
Carl, thank you! Coming from a very broken home I get what you are saying. I was terrified in taking the plunge and was not sure I beleived in happily ever after. I don’t believe in happily ever after, because life is hard, but it is nice to have been given this gift.
Love it! Makes me want to write my own post ODE to HUBBY!
I can’t wait to read about the Santa’s Ode!
Please post a picture of the MC Hammer pants!
Ok, your wish is my comand. We will get the MC Hammer Pants on the blog this weekend! 🙂
Woo-hoo!
Aww. That made me tear up! 1) I LOVE Peter Krause! I liked him in 6 feet under, but Parenthood takes the cake. That show became a fave VERY quickly for me. And a lot if it is Peter Krause. hehe. Of course, in real life I am more like the “Sarah” of the group…more like a sarah/christina mix. 2) The nerd club is awesome. The place I work is literally known for hosting the most nerds per capita…some of the nations greatest mathmeticians and other geeks. In fact…2 people from the show “geek like me” are actually employed there. Anyway – more importantly, He loves the pie hole and makes you feel happy. You’re a lucky, lucky lady! Good post 🙂
Wow, you have a pool of possible good matches for you right under your nose! Nerds make the best partners! 🙂
Parenthood is one of my personal favs and yes, I have too have been a fan of Peter Krause since Six Feet Under! Thanks DLOM! 🙂
Aw!
What a lovely thing to say ( loved the bit about puberty setting in ).
I’m sure he says similar things about you too, and very important to let our loved ones know just how much they mean to us.
Egills, Yes, I can’t wait to have those years hit. I think he may go get an apt. for those weeks. 🙂
Sounds like an amazing dude! Good for you! Where can I get a pair of these MC HAMMER pants? 🙂
