I don't often stop to ponder what it is about my husband that I love. But given the occasion, I find myself with watery eyes and a lump in my throat. Here is a man who is taken for granted by me every single day. So, in his honor, I'm posting all the reasons I can think of at the moment that I love him:
1. He lets me do whatever I want. All I have to do is ask, and I know this.
2. I'm the first runner up to being loved by him, right behind the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
3. He's grateful to be loved by me.
4. We can bitch and moan about the exact same things, but he's always the first to say we should stop.
5. He loves his boys.
6. Even though he couldn't fathom having a daughter, he's absolutely crazy about her.
7. He's ALWAYS the first to apologize after an argument, even when it is clearly my fault.
8. He has never raised his voice to me!!!!!!!
9. He doesn't understand why I go on shoping sprees, then come home and hide everything, afraid to show him. He thinks it's funny. I think I'm weird.
10. He misses my mom, too.
11. He doesn't hold grudges.
12. He supported me when I wanted to go back to work and he supports me when I tell him I want to resume my stay-at-home job.
13. He works so hard to take care of us.
14. He's a genius.
15. He doesn't miss a thing, ever.
16. If I want him to miss a thing, he acts like he did.
17. He's humble.
18. He tells me I'm beautiful.
19. He likes old love ballads and John Denver.
20. He tells me about his day.
21. He knows his own weaknesses and tries to overcome them.
22. He knows my weaknesses but doesn't tell me to fix them.
23. He's tall and handsome.
24. He can put up sheetrock and lay wood floors.
25. He still takes me out on dates after almost 10 years of marriage.
26. He fought for me.

Now, that is a good husband!
Hi Jenny-Any friend of Ashley's is a friend of mine. Love to read your "lies". I'll be looking for more.
Can we trade husbands?
I guess he's OK!
He's a good man, and THAT is no lie:)
Ha! I remember him fighting for you!!! I guess all these traits mean that he does love you and even though he flirts with me, I know that his infatuation is really with you, not me.
Yes, you got it little sister!
What a guy! It has always been apparent that he does what he has to to take care of you. I am happy to hear that he does this in ways the rest of us never get to see. Keep the list growing!
