I can't believe we are already to 11 years! I can't put into words the way my heart feels about you. You are my everything. As you read this I hope you will hear Edie Brikells Once in a Blue Moon playing repeat in your head. Here is my very feeble attempt to list 11 things that you do that show me everyday you love me. Thank you!
1. I love that is doesn't matter what time I turn out the light, (after reading WAY beyond any decent hour a mother of 4 would admit) I just have to touch you and even in a dead sleep you will roll over and snuggle me.
2. You never mind (at least you don't say anything) when I get caught up in a really good book. You just take over the kids and give me whatever time I want to take.
3. I love that when we are in a room full of people and we are talking in different groups, I can look at you and with one expression know how you are and that we will exchange notes with each other later.
4. I love when you leave in the morning it is never without a kiss, even if I am still enjoying a lovely white party. I know that the first thing you are going to do when you get home from work is kiss me. It is so very Cleaverish of us.
5. I love that you get up on Saturday mornings and let me sleep in. I also love to wake up to the smell of waffles that only you can make.
6. I am so glad that when I am grumpy and maybe a little irrational/oversensitive you can find a way to make me laugh at myself and get me over the grumpiness.
7. Our family enjoys your sense of adventure. You are so great about finding little interesting things for us to do from petroglyphs to hikes to just our little Sunday drives. It is so much fun to just spend time together.
8. I love that we enjoy little town celebrations. We both enjoy our wanderings through the booths, and watching events, trying new food, listening to live music, and of course dragging our kids along with us. It is never rushed and always fun. You just enjoy every moment.
9. I love that you insist on doing the dishes after dinner, and that you turn your music on while you clean up. It somehow always ends up with our kids dancing in the family room, cutting up a rug. Our kids always prefer you ipod over mine.
10. I love that Ally told me last week on the phone that we have rarely had a conversation when you don't call in on the other line. I love that we talk 20 times a day:)
11. I love that the Gospel as complex as it is, is simple to you. That you have unwavering faith. That you have always been a spiritual leader for me. You are a wonderful teacher and have a great way of explaining things.
Happy Anniversary! I feel so incredibly blessed to have you as my husband. Thanks you for all the little things you do for me and our family. Thank you for loving me so completely.
Once in a while
Once in a blue moon
There comes somebody
There comes somebody like you
