36 Things about Laren:
1.)He is a hard worker. He is not one to come home and sit down in front of the TV after work, he eats and gets busy doing his various projects around the house. He seems to never run out of projects!
2.) He’s a perfectionist.
3.) He will only let me cut his hair. It used to be, when we were first married, that he would only let his Aunt cut his hair. She was a professional beautician and worked at a Salon. I tried to convince him that I had practice cutting my brother's hair and that I could save us a lot of money by him allowing me to cut it. Finally, one day he gave in and now he will let it get much longer than he likes it waiting for me to get around to cutting it!!
4.)He is conscientious. His decisions are usually well thought out.
