The last day of the work week is usually #FridayIntroductions over on Instagram, so let’s stretch that to blog world, too! I’ve written about Matt more times than I can recall, but it’s usually enumerating what a great husband he is. So aside from being familiar with the fact that he’s a total charmer, most of you guys don’ know too much about Matt!

Almost four years ago (holy cow, how has it been that long?!) I did a post on “10 Things You Didn’t Know [about me]” and it ended up being one of my most-read blog posts of the year! So we’re treat you all to the same experience, just this time with Matt! Let’s dive in:

  1. He’s a huge Marvel fan. Not the kind that actually reads comic books (thank goodness), but he loves the Marvel cinematic universe- he’s one of those guys that likes reading articles on plot line theories, and he’s always the one to point out the little Easter eggs hidden in various Marvel movies that subtly allude to other characters within the Marvel universe. And now I sound like a dork, too.
  2. He’s had a beard since 2007. And as we didn’t meet until 2008, that means I’ve never seen my husband with a clean, shaven face.
  3. He loathes having his photo taken. Which is ironic, considering he married someone who does that for a living.
  4. He was a master juggler in elementary school, and was also part of the Juggling Club. Needless to say, our future children will never want for entertainment, between the two of us.
  5. Perhaps going hand-in-hand with the love of Marvel is his love of board games. And not just Monopoly or Settlers of Cataan; no, this man loves obscure board games that you’ve almost certainly never heard of. The kind that take 3-5 hours to play, with rules so complex it’ll make your head spin. If you’re a Parks & Rec fan, you’ll know what I mean when I say he’s the kind of guy who would love to play Cones of Dunshire.
  6. He doesn’t drink coffee. Ever.
  7. He’s a trivia master- if you’re ever in a situation when you need a team member with a broad knowledge base of sports, pop culture, etc., Matt is your guy. Things get competitive over here when we watch Jeopardy together.
  8. He hates tomatoes and anything with tomatoes in it, but loves ketchup. Go figure.
  9. He’s superstitious about where he sits during a sporting event, in case it could affect the outcome of the game.
  10. He was convinced that he’d one day play for the NFL. I, for one, am glad that didn’t pan out. MLB, though? Yes. Way less risk of injury!

And there you have it! Happy Friday, friends!

    I love these kinds of posts! It’s so fun to get to know you guys better with these fun facts! I’m with matt on the board games! I love to play board games but nothing with a lot of rules though. And I too don’t like fresh tomatoes but love ketchup. And I don’t drink coffee either. Afternoon or morning tea, yes, but no coffee, ever. It was fun getting to know a few things about Matt too!

  4. Mia Bjerring says:

    Ps. LOVE that shot of you two together! I’ve said it before but you definitely make the cutest couple ever!

    I knew most of those things, but the thing about the tomatoes threw me.
