Men on Monday

We hope you had a good Valentine's Day. Today we are going to give you a list...one for each raspberry sister...in lieu of Valentine's--a day that makes one stop and think special thoughts of our dear one and what attracts us to them.
.
Our list title is :
.
"20 Things About My Hubby That Makes Him Who He Is"
.
{we have seen similar lists on other blogs and thought it was incredibly sweet and cute}
.
What makes this especially fun and interesting is that our husbands are brothers. Will there be any similarities among our lists? We haven't peeked at each others lists so we are all waiting....patiently and excitedly.... {type already!!!!}
