10 Things You Need To Know About Mikey

Some of you know, and some of you may not know, that I am not the only one running this business. My husband Mike has a desk right next to mine and works hard to make my life easier. He came with me on a shoot the other night and one of our long time clients was surprised to see him, it occurred to me then that I need to introduce him. So on with the show…
1. At our house he cleans all the toilets, kills all the bugs, does all the yard work, fixes everything, locks up the house at night, reads to the kids, checks the mail, picks up the kids from school, keeps the computers up and running, and makes yummy burritos.
2.Mike is 5 years older than me.
3. He is ok with the fact that our boys play with dolls.
4. He has these “doh” moments every once and a while, it is something I have really grown to love about him. Sometimes things just come out of his mouth that make no sense or pretty much make me say “DOH!!” He doesn’t mean any harm he mostly just says the first thing he can think of, like once I was bustling a brides dress and he asked if the reason they call it a bustle is because it makes you look like a bus. I told him he wasn’t going to be allowed to meet any brides if he couldn’t watch it!! :) We also had a great one last night, he said “This is my wife, Deborah, we’re like a team.” I just had to laugh!!
5. He supports my photography habit 100% ( I say habit because I don’t think I could stop even if I wanted to) I know for a fact that I wouldn’t be where I am with out him saying “That’s amazing” or “ I know you can do better”
6. He is pretty handy with a camera, I dare say that he understands the tech side of the camera better than I do. If for some reason I am busy and you need something, just ask if Mike can do it!
7. He is a chips and salsa kind of guy.
8. I realized that I first loved him after he made me a steak for dinner one night and before he brought me my plate he cut up my meat for me. Weird, I know, but I loved it!
9. He loves to ride motorbikes.
10. One of his favorite movies is Grumpy Old Men, this makes me giggle.

Ahhh. I have a special place in my heart for Mike too. Any man who is willing to put someone else's kid in his carseat is a winner. He has such an amazing way with kids.

Oh he liked all right!!! Who wouldn't? You are so lucky to have a husband that does kids, toilets and burritos. It's rare to find any guy that's good at one of those things, but Deb, you hit the jackpot bigtime!!! We love you Mikey!
