Top 100 things are on the board

So, I was going through documents on my computer, when I found 100 things about me that I wrote quite some time ago. Marci wrote 100 things about her once and it inspired me to do the same - I thought it was a great idea. I never did anything with that list, but I decided that I should just post it on my blog. It could probably use some updating or something, but I am just going to post it as it was originally written.

100 things about me
One of my favorite activities is tickling Ryan and hearing him laugh
I have the most beautiful wife
I have a beautiful family.
I secretly want a tattoo, but will never get one.
I have a huge desire to learn to play the guitar
I want to take voice lessons, but am too embarrassed to do it.
I want to try my hand at karaoke
I love to turn on dance music and dance with my children
I love to bake, but hate to cook
I love Jimmy John's sandwiches, Chipotle burritos, and Heidi's Hell's Kitchen sandwich
I love seeing my boys succeed
I love seeing my children speak in church, school, etc.
I love watching baseball on television and at the ball park
I love watching my boys play baseball
I love playing baseball with my boys
I am not a big fan of playing with legos.
I sometimes listen to Celine Dion and other music that Stacey likes because it reminds me of her
I really enjoyed seeing Celine Dion in concert in Las Vegas
I sometimes get jealous because my boys dress better and cooler than I do
I love that my wife is in style with her clothes
I wish I was as selfless as my father
I wish I spoke as fluently and felt as comfortable at speaking as my mother.
I want to be more spiritual
I sometimes want to be an Adult Sunday School teacher, but the thought of preparing a lesson and teaching every week steers me away from that thought.
I read MLB.com everyday, even in the off season.
I love riding roller coasters.
I focus on the fear of the unknown way too much.
I love to party and be in big groups, but I hate when I am the focus of the group or party.
I love getting together with others, but Stacey does not. I am social, Stacey is not.
Hearing people fart still makes me laugh
I love playing on toys at parks and swinging on swings with my children
I love being a Dad, and a husband.
I am grateful that I have good parents who are perfect examples of how parents should be.
I absolutely hate running, unless I have a basketball in my hand.
I can’t stop eating sweets.
I love movies with karate fights in them.
I absolutely love playing golf and hitting spectacular drives.
I think I my Grandma and Grandpa Baldwin are the greatest grandparents ever.
I love golfing with my Grandpa.
I don’t like going to McDonald’s with my Grandpa…
I love playing softball
I love seeing my children extremely excited about things.
I want to buy my children everything they possibly want, but then the spoiled factor kicks in and I refrain.
I want to own a rental unit.
I want my truck back.
I have to shower everyday or I feel extremely gross.
I can’t stand when pictures hanging on walls are crooked. I have a huge urge to straighten all the frames. If I am in someone else’s house then I can’t look at pictures on the wall or else I have to straighten them.
I think my wife is the most talented photographer on earth.
I think Hunter is the most creative (and smartest) kid I know. Especially when it comes to building things with legos and bionicles.
Hunter wants to be a rock star, but I want him to be an engineer, dentist, or doctor.
I want to learn how to scuba dive
Ryan is the most loving kid I know. He is such a hard worker at learning.
I do not want to ever go skydiving and I don’t think I will ever regret that decision.
I feel that I was not a very good brother and friend in life.
I am selfish and think about myself too much.
I love to drink Dr. Pepper in the mornings.
I want to write and complete a story for my family to read.
I really do not like spiders
Did I mention I have cool grandparents? My Grandma Baldwin is so talented, loving, and wonderful. My Grandpa Baldwin makes me laugh – I love talking to him and being around him. My grandparents make me miss Idaho Falls.
I love Grandma’s cookies!
I love coming home from work and my family is excited to see me.
I feel inadequate in so many ways and in so many things.
I love to draw and paint, but getting started is so hard.
I love birds.
I love seeing animals do funny things at the zoos.
America’s Funniest Home videos and Whose line is it Anyways crack me up! Especially when I watch with Hunter!
I love acting like a child – especially when trying to catch frogs. I don’t ever want to lose the desire to do kid things.
I like techno and dance music
I love to sing in the car when driving home from work and most of the time I don’t care who sees me wailing away in my car.
I may be the only guy in the world that does not lay around on the couch to watch sports on Saturday.
I absolutely hate eating anywhere where I have to pay a tip.
I hate getting my hair cut.
I would rather read a Self-help book than a fiction novel.
I love the gooey glue that you find in mailer advertisements. I pull the glue off and roll it into balls and play with it while I work.
I am not into technological gadgets and one of the few people without a cell phone.
I hate not having a CD player in my car when I drive to work.
I could spend hours upon hours testing out new golf clubs.
Stacey hates to shop with me because I am very picky and I comparison shop to find the best price – probably waaaayyyyy too much.
I wish Stacey would buy my clothes for me so I could look more modern and cool.
I want to wear a suit and tie to work everyday.
I would rather go to bed early and wake up early than staying up late.
I like to do things that are comfortable and familiar – sometimes trying new things or going outside of the norm scares me. How did we get to Denver then, you ask?
Purple is my favorite color but I hate to admit that to people.
I love to reminisce about old stories – especially when they make me laugh.
I love to lift weights and workout.
I love getting the giggles where you can’t stop laughing. People falling asleep in church do that to me all the time!
I am not real excited about going bald, but what do you do?
I wish I spoke Spanish – or had the time to devote to learning Spanish.
I have a hard time golfing, fishing, etc. on Saturday because I feel I am being selfish to my family and not spending enough time with them.
I wish I was as brave as Hunter.
I sometimes wish I was as skinny as Hunter and Ryan.
I hope that my boys will be taller than me.
I hope that Samantha will be as cute as her mother.
I love chocolate tootsie pops
I love dark chocolate
I absolutely LOVE the THE OFFICE (the television show).
I love spicy food. If it isn’t spicy then I try and make it spicy with hot sauce, salsa, Tabasco sauce, or even pepper.
I feel like I am okay in many things but not an expert in anything.
I love to go fishing – but not real good at it.
I want to go to Hawaii, or on a cruise, or to France, or to Italy, or Greece….

You are my inspiration, Marci! Thanks. I am sure I could go on and on and on for a few more hundred...

That was fun to read. Here are a few thought I had as I read. Why don't you want to go to McDonalds with grandpa????Oh and don't let Jon Allen see that you like purple. I think that is Dennis's favorite color too. You were a good brother by example, just not when you tied me up to a chair or tried to make me kiss boys. Scott doesn't watch Sports on Sat.or any other time. I want to go on a cruise too.

Let's just say that we had a little incident at McDonalds...you will have to ask Grandpa to tell the story. It might be more funny to me becuase I was actually there...

I loved the list. Lots of insights into who you are. The only thing I would say - you are too hard on yourself. You are amazing an amazing person. Always have been - always will be.

From the moment the first Mercedes-Benz CLS four-door "coupe" was introduced to the public, other German luxury automakers hit the drafting board. According to the German auto experts at AutoBild, Audi is just over a year away from unleashing its own cleverly packaged sedan.
