THINGS I LOVE ABOUT CHRISSOM by: Chelsea

Chirssom and Maddie Fishing

Chrissom is my best friend! Chrissom has the best laugh ever and is pretty darn funny. My favorite is when he laughs so hard that he can’t stop. Sometimes he even passes out. He loves to make me laugh by making up funny lyrics to songs we are listening to on the radio (and sometimes hymns in church). Chrissom is a wonderful dad. Each night when he gets home, the kids run to him yelling "Daddy, Daddy!"  They wait all day to play with him.  Zack always has his swords ready for Daddy to sword fight with him.  Madelynn always wants to play dolls with him.  The great thing about him is that he takes the time to play with them.  In the evening, you won't find Chrissom vegging out in front of the tv, you'll usually find him wrestling with Zack and Maddie on the tramp or pretending he is Darth Vader with his arms and legs chopped off.  Chrissom is devoted to his children.
People are naturally drawn to Chrissom and love to be around him. He makes them feel good and makes them laugh. Chrissom is the oldest son in his family and takes his responsibility as a big brother very seriously. His brother’s and sisters all look up to him and he works hard at being a good example for them and a support to them.
Chrissom is a hard worker. He loves to grow things and work in the garden. He gets really excited about things and that excitement is catching to those around him. Chrissom likes projects and gets really involved in what he’s doing. One of his favorite hobbies is video games. He also dabbles a little in woodworking, and loves to golf. Chrissom is willing to try most things (for example my cooking), he even fixes his own car and changes his own oil.
Chrissom's dedication also shows in his studies.  He is in graduate school right now to get a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling.  He has an awesome grade point average and his teachers compliment him on how well he is doing.
Chrissom is very respectful of me and learned from his father to treat his wife like a queen. Even though he laughs at me when I make him kill a spider, I’m very lucky to have a man like him.
