Our three year anniversary is tomorrow. Last year I wrote a list of ten of my favorite things about my husband and our marriage. This year I aim to do the same thing. It was kind of hard though, looking back through the list from last year because they are all still true! I would likely end up repeating a lot of them. But I am going to give it a shot.
1.I love the way my husband’s eye crinkle when he smiles at me. It’s way cute.
2.He’s incredibly supportive of all my ideas, even the hair-brained ones.
3.He joined weight watchers with me this time so I could have the extra support of him counting points as well. It has made an incredible difference as I have lost over 36lbs so far. He has also lost a little extra weight he had wanted to lose.
4.I feel so safe with him. It doesn’t matter that we often have to walk after dark due to my schedule because I know he will always protect me.
5.I love his love for God and the commitment he has made to live his life in faith.
6.I love how he never takes me for granted. He would always tell me when we started dating, “Jen is not granted so don’t take her for it.” He never has.
7.We communicate pretty well for two people who both have hearing loss. I am sure it would be entertaining for someone to listen to us talk sometimes. But we still manage to figure it out eventually.
8.He is so incredibly intelligent. It blows my mind sometimes about how much information he is able to retain and then retrieve.
9.We truly enjoy each other’s company. I love spending time with him and I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual.
10.He’s pretty handy around the house. Though he doesn’t enjoy it very much, he is willing to tackle a project and then does it right. I think he’s pretty amazing at this kind of stuff.
So there are ten more things that I love about my husband and my marriage. I am so glad that I married Steve and I am so incredibly happy.
Happy Anniversary my love!
After I posted this on facebook this morning, he replied with a list of his own. So here it is copied and pasted. :)
In response:
1. I love the way Jen laughs. I think I could go the next hundred and fifty years without ever getting tired of it.
2. I love how she's constantly giving. Time, money, support. It doesn't seem to matter how much is asked, she's giving more.
3. I love sharing my life with her. There aren't many people I could stand being in a room with for more than twenty minutes, and I consider it a miracle I've found someone I can spend days on end talking to and sharing everything.
4. I love Jen's eyes. There really isn't anything more to this one, because they're just that awesome.
5. I love how she somehow manages to get me to do things I don't like doing. Be it attending costume parties in character to installing a new bathroom sink, she's got me completely wrapped around her little finger.
6. I love her family and her strong relationship with them. They've always been extremely supportive of both of us and our decision to get married.
7. I love the girl she was when we met and the woman she's become in the fourteen years since.
8. I love how sarcastic she can be when she has a mind to be.
9. I love the faces she makes.
10. Most of all, I love her and the idea of getting to spend the rest of my life with her.
