32 Things I Love about You

Barely a month after I started blogging last year, I wrote a post on my husband’s 31st birthday listing 31 things I loved about him. Well, yesterday he turned 32. It was only fitting that I followed up this year with 32 things I love about him :). And maybe another 33 next year?!

Well, here goes… To the love of my life, here’s 32 things I love about you:

1. Your obedience to God, even when it seems absurd.
2. The way you wait on God before making major decisions.
3. How you’ve set your priorities right.
4. The way you hold on to a word God has given you.
5. When you see I’m exhausted and you take up half my to-do list.
6. Your commitment to work and provide for us.
7. Your leadership – at home and at work.
