Today is our 16th Anniversary! I can't believe it has been that long already. As a way to celebrate our wonderful union, I thought that I would write sixteen things that I love about my husband. So, here goes:
1. He is the most amazing father. When our son was a newborn, he was very sick. My husband would spend countless hours, rocking him and trying to comfort him. When our daughter was born, he cried happy and relieved tears. After losing our second child, I'm sure he was in awe over what a miracle she was. He is a very involved father and our kids adore him.
2. I still get lost in his bright blue eyes. They are so stunning, especially when he is laughing.
3. He always gives me a massage when he knows that I am feeling stressed. He takes his time and helps me feel so relaxed.
4. My husband is always ready to help, in any situation. Whether it is for family, friends, or a complete stranger, he is there with a helping hand.
5. He has a wonderful sense of humor. He makes me laugh all the time. I love all of our inside jokes and the way that he can make me feel better with just a smile.
6. When he puts his arms around me, I feel like I am completely safe.
7. If he is at the grocery store and wants to know specifics about what I want or need, he will call me and ask. He also brings home treats that he knows that I enjoy.
8. He has very strong morals and tries very hard to do the right thing.
9. My husband is such a gentleman. During Christmas time, a lady at the store was holding her baby and quite a few rolls of wrapping paper. She dropped one, and my husband picked it up for her and asked if she wanted him to carry them to her car. He is always opening doors for everyone and doing whatever he can to make others feel comfortable.
10. He is a wonderful listener. That poor man has listened to me drone on for hours about all my problems, concerns, or worries. I do believe he will reach sainthood for dealing with that.
11. He is so cute and still seems to think the same about me. Can't beat that, especially after being together for 18 years!
12. Feeling his hand on the small of my back as we enter a room makes me feel very special.
13. The respect and love that he has for his Mom is lovely to watch. That's one of the ways that I knew he would make a wonderful husband.
14. When we lived in a house that didn't have a garage, he would scrape the snow and ice off of the car for me before I had to leave. I loved that.
15. He makes a mean hamburger on the grill. I love summertime because I know that he will be making lots of yummy food for our family!
16. He is very laid back, which helps me because I am so uptight. He always has the right words to calm me down when I am frazzled. There are so many ways that we are opposites, but it seems to work out. Opposites attract, you know.
