Let me count the ways.....


That I love my husband.

1. He works so dang hard. My husband gets up at 3:45 every morning and gets to work by 5. He works 10 hours everyday (plus the long drive) and gets home at about 5 each evening. He goes in so early so that he can be home for dinner and to spend time with the boys.

2. He loves our babies. I know it's a given that he should love our babies, but he is just so good at it! Blake and Kade are in love with him. As soon as they hear the door open everyday, they go running for him. He wrestles with them on the floor for what seems like hours and I can sit and watch all night long. It is so cute.

3. He pays the bills. No big deal right? Wrong! I have absolutely no desire to pay the bills, so he has done it since we got married. He makes the money, so he pays the bills. There is something very sexy about my husband who can manage our money very well.

4. He knows me so well! I might be a little predictable but my husband knows me more than I know myself sometimes. If he goes to get dinner or something, it doesn't matter what restaurant he goes to, he will know what to get me with out even asking. I love it, sometimes I don't even have to think about it because he already knows.

5. He loves his family. Not just us, his wife and kids, but all of them. He talks to his family all of the time as well as mine. When we say our prayers, he always prays for our families. I know it is hard for him to see siblings struggle, and he is always there with a helping hand.

6. He is hilarious. My husband can make me laugh when I am in the worst mood. Whether it is telling me where my eye is at night when I am falling asleep (you have to be there), or doing his millions of impressions of me and anyone you can think of, or playing the "banjo" (Janee I thought you would appreciate that!). He is always trying to keep the mood light and let people know that it is always ok to laugh.

7. He gives me alone time. Being with my "Crazies" all day everyday, alone time is pretty rare. Sometimes my sweet hubby will take the kids, when he gets home from work, on a walk or something just so I can have a moment to myself. It seems like nothing, but it means so much to me.

8. He has a testimony. When he talks about his mission or gospel topics in general I am in awe at how strong his testimony is. I know that when I have questions for him, he will explain it to me in a way to help my much slower brain to understand, or if he doesn't know, he will find the answer for me.

9. He provides for us. I know I mentioned how hard he works before, but really all it comes down to is that he makes life for us a little easier because he provides for us. I don't have to worry about working outside the home because he does it for me. I am so appreciative for the things that we have because I know what he does to let us have the things we need.

10. He loves me. There is nothing that makes me happier than knowing that someone loves me no matter what. And he doesn't have to. My family, my children, its kind of a given that they will love me unconditionally, but he chooses to love me know matter what. He puts up with all of my crazy OCD's, he listens when I rant, he hugs me when I am being crazy, He kisses me when I cry, he laughs when I laugh, and all the while I know that he loves me.

And I love him more than words.
Happy Valentine's Day, thanks for reading my mushy gushy love stuf!
