34 Things I Love About You

It’s my husband’s birthday today… which means it’s that time of the year when I write a mushy blog post listing all the things I love about him 😉 .

{If you’d rather go read something else, I wouldn’t blame you! How about some inspiration, links I love, parenting stuff or stories about the trio?}

Well, here goes…

To the one my heart loves, here are 34 things I love about you!

1. The way you look in a suit.
2. Wrestling with you for the remote.
3. Your taste in music that has {slightly} influenced mine.
4. For accepting my limitations.
5. That you are a responsible son / son-in-law.
6. For listening to me when I vent out my frustrations.
7. The times you’ve cooked when I’ve had a work deadline.
8. For being someone I can look up to for spiritual guidance.
9. For ordering pizza on nights I’m too tired to cook.
10. The Saturdays you took the kids with you to church.
11. For bringing your friends (and their wives) into my life.
12. The times you’ve sneaked ice-cream into the house just for me.

24. Your eagerness to gift the kids something new, once in a while.
25. Your commitment to stay where God has placed you.

34. The way you make me fall in love with you all over again, even after 7+ years!

I’m definitely blessed to be your wife!

To all the married women out there…

You’ll be glad you did!
