12 Years!

Today is our 12 Year Wedding Anniversary!  

Happy Anniversary to the best husband and father.  When I was young and tried to imagine what marriage would be like, I never even dreamed love could be like this.  You are everything I ever wanted and so much more.  You are all that I need and more than I deserve.  

I can hardly believe it has been so long!  In some ways it feels like we have always been together and in some ways it feels like we only just met.  

In honor of our 12 years together I want to share 12 reasons why I love you more and more each day ♥

1.  You always let me be right, even when I am completely wrong

2.  You know I have a better sense of direction and ask for directions from me

 

3.  You love spending time with the kids and read to each of them every night.

 

4.  You put up with all of my crazy whims and go along with my plans whole heartedly.  

 5. You love me for me and don't expect me to be anyone I am not.

 

6.  You support me in all that I take on.  Even if you think I am doing more than I need to or you think there is a better way to do it, you still help me and let me do it my way.  Thank you.

7.  You actually listen to me and care about what I have to say.  

8.  You work so hard and then come home and still help out and work some more.  

9.  You always put the toilet seat down!  :)

10.  You think I am beautiful and you never let me believe that I am not.

11.  You devote so much of your time and energy to helping others.

12.  You are so patient with my many shortcomings.  I know life with me has not been easy and I am grateful that you not only stand by me and love me, but that you never make me feel like I am a burden. I have never once felt unloved, unimportant, unintelligent, or unneeded. You give me strength, confidence, and hope.

Thank you for choosing me and loving me.  I still cannot understand how I got so lucky to be married to someone as wonderful as you!  I am so very thankful that we get to spend eternity together.

I cannot imagine a happy life without you in it.
I look forward to many, many more years of love and joy with you! ♥
