Some of these might have gone from informative, to just me bragging...
1. When he is picking a random number, he picks 12. For example, "I'll be home in like 12 seconds."
2. Will eat any kind of food...unless it has onions, tomatoes, peppers, or pickles.
3. Watches chick-flicks. One time I had just bought "Runaway Bride," he noticed it but didn't say anything. Then a few days later he came home and found out that I had watched it and said, "Hey, I was going to watch that with you!" That's when I knew I wasn't the only reason he watches them. Love his tender heart.
4. Alex does all of our laundry and most of our dishes.
5. Alex is a total detail guy. He asks questions about everything and researches everything before buying, etc. It was only frustrating when we were looking at rings. I found the one I liked the first day we looked, but he had to keep looking just in case, to make sure it was the right one. I got my way.
6. I have NEVER heard Alex yell.
7. Alex has a little bit of the Rasmussen concaved chest.
8. Sunflower seeds are his vice. He always has some handy.
9. Alex remembered that owning a hammock is on my list of things to do in my life. So when he was on study abroad in Costa Rica a couple of summers ago he bought one for me and brought it all the way home.
10. If he could master an art form it would be music, especially guitar, piano, and singing.
11. He keeps a box in his car to put things in so his car doesn't get messy.
12. He has given local anesthetics and pulled teeth, all by himself.
13. Alex knows how to relate to and be friends with anybody.
14. He has a silent laugh, no matter how hard he is laughing. Guess it's good because he compensates for mine.
15. Popcorn is one of Alex's FAVORITE snacks! He always gets some when we go to movies, and makes some when we watch movies at home.
16. Alex frequently leaves notes for me around the apartment.
17. Alex decided he wanted to be a doctor when he was young while accompanying his dad ski patrolling at Powder Mountain.
18. Alex's favorite pop-tart is Cinnamon and Brown Sugar, toasted.
19. His celebrity look-alike is Christian Bale.
20. Alex is generous with compliments.
21. His "planner" system... He prints out calendar spreads for each month, then keeps 4 months folded in his pocket at all times.
22. Along with his calendar papers, he always has chapstick, eye drops, gum, and his phone in his pockets too.
23. Alex grew up working construction for his dad.
24. He is EASILY distracted, especially when it's on the computer or at the desk.
25. If Alex could have any super power it would be flying. He loves planes and his dream job is to be a pilot.

25 things...
What it's like to be me...
1. I am barefoot any chance I get
2. I sing "Alouette" to myself while waterskiing. It started when I was learning and trying to keep myself concentrated on staying tucked in a ball and leaning back on the rope.
3. I rarely call Sophie (our cat) "Sophie" except for when I am calling for her. The usuals are: kitty, animal, pet, "cheeky bull" (See Australia the movie), and little cat.
4. I like to think I'm always right, and Alex plays along.
5. I think and talk in analogies. I am not always good at putting my thoughts into words or explaining things, so I turn to analogies. The make sense most of the time.
6. I have kept most of my textbooks. Alex thinks i'm crazy, but I actually use them!
7. I cut Alex's hair. Not because I want to, but because he is cheap.
8. Ways I'm like my dad: I let the gas in my car get pretty much empty before I fill it back up; I love eating fish, waterskiing, being in the water, and figuring out how things work; I am good with my hands; I need people to like me; Del Taco is my idea of cooking
9. Ways I'm like my mom: I don't like scary movies, unhappy endings, of anything to do with death; I like shopping; I am a good listener; I love finding new music; I love sales; I get cold easy and like being warm; we love talking to each other, even if we don't have anything to say
10. My feet are a mix between both my mom and my dad.
11. I can pack lighter than Alex for vacations.
12. I could live off Del Taco. Right now the favorites are chicken soft tacos or spicy jack quesadillas
13. My mom asked me whether my major (Marriage, Family, and Human Development) and the things I've studied have made me more or less patient with people. I think I am more understanding of a person's behavior based on their background, but generally speaking I think i've become less patient with adults and more patient with kids.
14. Soprano is too high but I struggle singing Alto. Dang.
15. I can shower, wash my hair, dry my hair, and be totally ready in 30 minutes...when I have to.
16. I have a hard time voicing any emotion without crying. I can be happy, sad, or even just frustrated...especially when there is confrontation involved. It is both embarrassing and annoying. Thank heavens for Alex. He's learned to just laugh at it.
17. I love the fast-forward button on remotes. I fast forward through painful parts of movies and TV shows. Sometimes I wish I had a remote for real life.
18. This one has to do with 16 & 17. When someone is doing something painfully embarrassing or awkward my eyes start to tear up. Sympathetic-embarrassment maybe?
19. I have crazy dreams. I used to always be a "victim" in them; running, hiding, escaping from people. Now they are all about doing things with people I know. What would Freud say?
20. I live for the familiar. I enjoy restaurants I know I like better than experimenting, and I almost always get the same things. I like going to vacation spots I've been to and enjoy and where I know my way around a little. I do things my way, the way I've always done things, even if Alex shows me a better way.
21. My bacon has to be crispy and my eggs fried over easy.
22. Alex and I love slow dancing
23. I have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to electronics and computers
24. One of the top 5 reasons I love Alex is because of his height.
25. Favorite thing about Michael: his example, Joel: his humor, Rae: her friendship
