42 Things about Hubby (one for each year & one for luck)

Hubby has been great lately and I truly appreciate it.  Since my IV medicine, I have returned to about 75% of where I normally am at.  Not bad, but, I am looking forward to next month and getting back to normal, or at least what 'normal' is for me with Rheumatoid Arthritis. 

Nothing like the reality check of not having a medicine to be sure it is working for you!  ;-D

I am not sure that Hubby will be thrilled with the way I have chosen to thank him, but I saw someone else do this on a journal a while back, not sure where, and thought I would give it a try!

I also found the KoolAid graphic above just for Hubby!  He has always wanted to dress as him for Halloween.  lol

Without further ado, here are 42 things about my fabulous Hubby!
