So Much for Being Organized and Detail-Oriented

I purposely set out last night on my blog to tell everyone how much I love my husband and what a good man he is...and that is the only thing I didn't write! After 32 years together I have grown to appreciate and love him more than I ever thought possible. Here are the reasons why:

1. He said when we were first married that we may always be poor as to the things of the world, but he would always make me laugh. He has definitely fulfilled that promise! He has such a great sense of humor and is always saying something that brings on a smile, a groan, or a full on laugh-out-loud reaction!

2. He is always very thoughtful and caring. He still remembers people's birthdays (and if they live nearby he supplements that wish with ice cream) and keeps in touch with people that have touched our lives years and years ago.

3. He does little things for me that mean a lot...like making the bed in the morning when I have to go to work...or sometimes even when I don't. He brings me candy (dark chocolate to be exact) for no reason. He calls me from work at least once a day to see how I am doing and volunteers to help me with my church calling when I need help. He often helps with the dishes and doesn't expect a meal on the table every night; sometimes coming home from work early and taking me out to eat so I don't have to cook.

4. He is neat and clean and I very seldom have to clean up after him. I don't even have to turn his shirts and socks right-side-out when I do the laundry! Thanks Barbara! His mother taught him well!

5. Most of all he is a good man, with strong ethics, honest to a fault, and honors his Priesthood and all of the covenants he has made. He takes his responsibilities seriously and works hard to do what is right. He is a wonderful companion and my true soulmate. This all sounds mushy but it is all true. I love you honey! Happy Anniversary!
