My Lover

What makes Nic a SERIOUS Sweet Dude? Here are a few of my reasons.

The guy LOVES his Coke. It's scary.

He's my best friend. And I'm pretty sure, along with these guys, I'm his best friend too.

He supports his wife in all her non-money-spending decisions. This is the day I decided to cut myself bangs!

We share a passion for boating. I'd post a picture of him getting some air on a wakeboard, but he never thinks he got enough.

He ALWAYS encourages mischief and loves to get a rise out of people. It's actually pretty funny.

He's a master Griller. Seriously, if you want some SERIOUS steak- Nic's your man.

The man is HANDY! You've seen the swing set and playhouse/slide he built from scratch without instructions. He whipped out this windmill a few years ago just for kicks. Made it up as he went. Unfortunately, the poor windmill took a tumble down my parent's rock wall during a storm. RIP.
He's the WORST patient ever. No, the man isn't capable of sitting still or being taken care of. This couch doubles as Nic's 2nd bed. He spends half of his nights lying in bed awake. I'll often find him laying on the couch (with Fox News on), asleep when I get up in the morning. Poor guy. The good news is, he must learn by osmosis (and from listening to talk radio in his car), because he KNOWS his politics...and can get extremely worked up about it.
He's totally in love with this Lady. Sexy Eskimo.

Nic knows how to have fun. You've already seen him on a snowmobile, so here he is jumping off a bridge.

He always makes me laugh. Check out his To Do list for Rex. Yes, that was our dog before the kids took over.

He rides the Zipper with me every year at the fair.

LOVES his little girls---and they love him back just as much

He's been blessed with super-human strength (And has some sexy muscles to prove it)


And don't worry, Nic and I haven't forgotten about our own awesome Dads. No, these guys aren't blog nerds...so chances are, they won't see this. But seriously, we've got some pretty cool dads that we love to death. Our kids also love these Grandpa's to death and can't control their excitement when either Grandpa is around. They really lucked out on the day of this picture! Anyway, Dad and Dad, we love you guys and hope you had a FABULOUS Father's Day!


If you're still reading this post, you might as well finish off with this 'husband tag' someone sent me last year. I never published it, but other than Nic being a year older and wiser, everything is the same (I updated the info). Happy Father's Day Nic. I know you're not my dad, but you're my babies' dad...and that makes you pretty dang important.
What is his name? Nicholas Graham Clark

How long have you been married? almost 6 years


Who long did you date? I don't know. We got married 2 years after we met. We dated for most of that time. Long story for another day.


How old is he? 29



Who eats more sweets? Me, hands down. However, he probably drinks more than enough Coke to cover the amount that I eat. He Loves that stuff.


Who said I love you first? He did...right after we decided we should get married. We timed everything badly.



Who is taller? Nic. He's 6 ft., (in 2" stilletos).

Who can sing better? Probably Nic. He doesn't sing much, but he usually sounds really good when he does. I'm the one that sings all the time. I have yet to get him to sing duets with me on the karaoke machine :)

Who is smarter? If you're talking GPA? Me. If you want to know who actually IS smarter? Nic. I feel like he knows the answer to any question I have. He would kill anyone in Trivial Pursuit.

Who does the laundry? Both of us. We usually fold it together while we watch Leno. It's very romantic.

Who pays the bills? The computer. Why be bothered with paper bills when you can set things up automatically online?! Don't worry, I double check my statements to make sure I'm not being had.


Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Nic. He's closer to the TV, I'm closer to the baby monitor.

Who mows the lawn? Nic. He loves it. But sadly, he's allergic to it and is congested all summer. UPDATE- I've mowed twice this year!

Who cooks dinner? Nic is a master on the BBQ. I usually make everything else. Cafe Rio usually makes us a good dinner too.

Who is more stubborn? Nic.

Who kissed who first? Nic. After about 4 awkward hours sitting on the couch, he finally worked up the courage. It was worth waiting for.

Who proposed? Nic. He sang me a song while playing the guitar in a room filled with roses and candles. I must say that it was pretty romantic. Topped the charts.

Who has more children in their family? Nic. 5 in his, 4 in mine.

Who wears the pants? We both sqeeze in to a leg...but probably him.

Nic, you're lucky I didn't tell the truth! Just kidding. Nic's the best and we're lucky to have him as the Daddy in this house. He is my perfect match and we get along perfectly. I don't know how I got so lucky.
