20 Reasons Why I Love My Husband

There's exactly one month left until our one year anniversary! What an appropriate time to give a few reasons to why I love my dear, sweet husband. :) In no particular order...

1. He married me despite the fact that I am a sinner.
2. He does his best to provide for the family.
3. He desires to lead the family (his lot is currently a population of 2).
4. He loves building relationships with children and adults alike.
5. He keeps a bat next to the bed as protection from all danger.
6. He kills spiders for me (without the bat).
7. He never leaves the toilet seat up.
8. He opens doors for me.
9. He carries heavy items for me.
10. He is not a picky eater (with mushrooms and eggplant as exceptions).
11. He buys me books (because they last longer than flowers).
12. He loves me just the way I am despite my being told that my eczema will scare away any suitor and/or friends.
13. He could have completed the Fun Run within a decent amount of time, but chose to run and walk (and piggyback to beat KevinN + NateS) with me.
14. He was the only cheering for me from start to finish when I ran a half marathon (although the last 2 miles he was crawling next to me in the car...)
15. He makes sure that I understand that it is not my living room that I am redecorating but ours.
16. He inhales his food but sits there until I'm done eating because he remembers that I don't like to eat by myself.
17. He will not let any argument go unsettled before turning in for the night (cf. Eph 4:26).
18. His countenance changes even at the thought of shopping, but will take me anyway.
19. When there is no tissue in sight and I ask for a paper towel on his way back from the bathroom so that I can blow my nose, he'll bring me a napkin saying, "I thought this would be softer for your nose."
20. He is my best friend.

I've been woo'd. :)[heart]
