DH's name is Kyle
He works as a automotive technician
Kyles into video games and the game of pool
Kyle is 2 years older.
I love that he is so kind and even tempered. But, sometimes when I argue with him...its frustrating that he is also the peace keeper. lol its impossible to stay mad at him.
hmmm we are about the same. Not really outgoing. Our favorite thing to do on a saturday night is to snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. pretty boring to most people...but nothing beats just spending time with my husband.
Kyle is very romantic. He doesnt buy me flowers just because or anything...but he does so much more. He takes care of me. He tucks me in before he leaves for work (I work thirds and he leaves for work a few hours after I get home.) ...he brushes my hair (one of my favorite things) ... he cooks 2 different meals if my little peanut in my belly doesnt like something.
I have a wonderful husband, and I feel lucky everyday.
