16 Things I Love About Bryan

Well, yesterday was our 16-month anniversary. I can already hear my sister, Cathie, now: "Anniversary" means a year! But this is a much more important anniversary. Both of our previous marriages lasted 16 months (what are the odds?!) so we are really excited about eclipsing our previous records.

In celebration, I wanted to write 16 things that I love about Bryan.

1. He is my best friend. I love to hang out with him more than anyone else because he makes me so happy.

2. He almost always cries a tear or two when he says prayers with me.

3. He loves Titus and Leah, and Titus and Leah love him. Maybe more than they love me. Which seems like it would be a bad thing, but I love that they love him, even though they were my dogs before I even met him.

4. He lets me color, straighten, cut, and generally fuss with his hair.

5. He is so handy around the house. He builds furniture, fixes things that are broken, paints and decorates, remodels, and makes the place look great.

6. He cleans!

7. He helps me choose which shoes look best with my outfit- and he always makes a great choice.

8. He likes it when I wear a lot of makeup (which I love to do).

9. He is hilarious, and he always makes me laugh.

10. He ALWAYS greets me with a kiss when we get home from work, no matter who gets home first, even when I forget to kiss him.

11. He has no idea what I'm talking about when I wake him up to make him roll over during the night because he is snoring. I have to repeat it several times and basically push him over, but it's funny.

12. He gets along with my family. He goes over there without me sometimes. Even better, they love him! My little brother probably talks to him more than any of the rest of us.

13. He doesn't bother me when I'm into a good book.

14. He is slow to get angry with me, and very quick to forgive me.

15. He brought Tivo into my home!

16. He loves me! Which just goes to show how sweet he really is, to put up with me.

Hooray for 16 months, and here's to many, many more!
