Dear Husband...

I love that you always let me wash up for bed first. I love that you never tire of listening to my troubles (at least you don’t show it☺). I love that you care about my family like you care about your own. I love that you’re always willing to help cook and do the dishes. I love your body. I love that you don’t like to watch sports. I love that you always pull back the covers for us at night. I love that you enjoy working on projects together. I love driving around town together just for fun. I love that you’re always up for an adventure. I love that you’re so artistic. I love that you always get in bed with me at night, even if you’re not tired and you stay up on the computer. I love watching house shows together. I love reminiscing about Thailand together. I love your style. I love that you encourage me to be more positive. I love your sense of humor and your jokes, even though I don’t always laugh. I love the way you support me in reaching my goals, and you truly believe in me. I love that you understand my high maintenance needs (makeup, hairspray, chi etc.). I love that you do the grocery shopping with me. I love the way you always talk to or play with Henry when you get home. I love running together. I love that you always stay true to your word. I love that you love Olive so much. I love traveling and exploring new places together. I love going on roadtrips with you. I love that you always take Olive out for me in the morning. I love getting fizzy drinks together. I love when you call me before you leave work. I love how you work hard to be in shape. I love that you always tell me I’m beautiful. I love your eyes. I love that you’re slow to get angry with me. I love that you are so good at what you do. I love that you don’t hold grudges against me. I love that you understand my need for planning ahead. I love cuddling with you at night before we fall asleep. I love that you love bargain stores. I love that you encourage me in my insecurities. I love that you don’t take life too seriously. I love that you make me feel important and always put me first. I love that you love and respect your parents. I love when you send me random, sweet text messages. I love that you still open the car door for me. I love that you always rub my legs when I have RLS. I love that you are so hard working and diligent at your job. I love that you get up at 5am to work out with me, even though you don’t have to be at work until 8:30. I love that you forgive me so easily. I love that you enjoy shopping in home décor stores. I love that you always offer to make me breakfast. I love making future plans together. I love accomplishing things with you. I love date nights together. I love cuddling up and watching our favorite TV shows together. I love that we see eye-to-eye on important issues. I love kissing you. I love meeting you at the coffee shop before work. I love you for always wanting to talk out our problems “on the spot”. I love how you show me that you love me just the way I am. I love how you are so good at taking initiative. I love that you use the guest bathroom in the mornings, so I can use ours. I love that when I have an idea you always want to do it-if no other reason than just to make me happy. I love that you like to hold hands while we run. I love that you never get annoyed at me for asking for my chapstick at night. I love that you don’t think my blog friendships are weird. I love you for being my rock when we were in Thailand and for loving me through it. I love falling asleep to movies together. I love the way you look in your jeans. I love that you value being together over being efficient. I love when you make Olive say hi to me when I’m in the shower. I love how you shop for clothes with me even when its not that fun for you. I love when you always make me run in front of you. I love how you always cheer me on when I come up with crazy ideas. I love that you’re really good at bowling. I love how you love to look at logos. I love how you always get me a blanket when you want to turn the fan on. I love when you talk in “Olive” voice. I love how you taught yourself to change a tire. I love that you’re always up for eating my crazy meals with me. I love that I can be so proud to be your wife.

You always ask me why I love you so much, and I always tell you there are lots of reasons. Well, here are just a few of them.

I am so in love with you

Happy Valentine’s Day
