Happy 40th Birthday Greg!

In honor of Greg’s 40th Birthday I’m going to list 40 things about him! (Thanks Kimberlee for the idea). Wow, honey—40 years! I love you and hope you have an awesome day! Just remember what you said—40 isn’t bad, 50 is worse!



1. Greg’s full name is Gregory James Johnson
2. He was born in Carmichael, CA on May 14, 1968
3. He is the third of nine kids—the first son
4. He never wanted a girl because he has 5 sisters and said that was enough
5. He is a great dad and enjoys spending time with all the kids (even his
one on one time with Brynn in the mornings)
6. He loves to play hockey
7. He served an LDS mission in Winnipeg Canada (hence the love for hockey!)
8. Greg loves to watch Seinfeld
9. His favorite day of the week is Tuesday when he gathers with his

volleyball friends and plays for hours

12. He also works a yard maintenance job with Zach and Tanner
13. He dislocated his ankle in March and is back playing volleyball
14. He will be hiking the Tetons in August and is so excited about it

do it

21. He loves mint chocolate chip ice cream

23. Greg likes to run outside even when it’s 90 degrees
24. Broke his ankle while working as the school resource officer at Sky View
(thanks to one of the students)
25. Isn’t having very good luck with his teeth since breaking a tooth on an olive

pit in his salad at Firehouse in February (crown, root canal...another root canal?)
26. Greg is a hard worker and never takes a sick day (well---hadn’t until March
4th)
27. Greg is also on Bike Patrol (and he’s so sexy in that uniform!)
28. He used to be on the SWAT team but voluntarily stepped down when the
team was getting too “sergeant” heavy – our kids were always so nervous when he’d get a call out so he volunteered to step down
29. Is a High Priest at church and has been for about 9-10 years
30. Currently serves as the Ward Financial Clerk

36. I’m not sure who’s the better arguer—Greg or Zach?
37. Greg is very good about getting us prepared with food storage and
necessities
38. I’m going to guess that his favorite dinner I make is Burritoes—that is what
he always suggests for the menu
39. He hates to talk on the phone
40. He got out of his entire graveyard shift this last time because he dislocated
his ankle and was off for 8 weeks—his first night of graveyard was Monday, March 3rd, he was injured Tuesday, March 4th!

Happy Birthday, Greg. Denise, you're next--then me! We met almost 20 years ago and I would have never thought we would ever be 40! Where does the time go. Hope we are still friends in 20 more years.
