Hobbies: His mustang, poker, travel
How you think/know he feels about the baby coming: He is excited but very nervous and feeling a lot of pressure to provide a better life for us.
One thing he does that drives you crazy: Hard to pick just one, but he grew up eating dinner as soon as he came home from school... like 3:30 in the afternoon. Now, he gets home around 4 and is always "sooo starving" and wanting to eat dinner right.this.second I don't get home until 5, and am the one who cooks so I have to deal with his complaining about starving every day. Then there are days when he buckles and eats dinner before I get home... Sure enough by 8 or 9 he is ready to eat again and ends up eating the leftovers of whatever I made for myself.
