24 Reasons

Today, my handsome husband turns 24.  He's super awesome and (most of the time) reads my blog so I thought it was only fitting that I share with him (and all of you) 24 reasons I love him.

1.  You play the guitar and sing.  My heart is full of joy hearing you play, knowing our future kids will grow up in a home full of music.
2.  You have a genuine love for others - friends, family, and strangers.  Even when you are frustrated with people, your love still shines through.
3.  You enjoy being silly with me.  I love the laughter that fills our home.
4.  You love the Lord and desire to share that love with others.
5.  You find time to work, go to school, be involved in ministry, get together with friends, and spend quality time with me.  It's amazing!
6.  You-have-nice-eyes.  Need I say more?
7.  You put my desires as a priority.  I means so much to me that I know I have a voice.
8.  You love children and can't wait to have your own little ones.  (That's a figurative "can't wait" for any of you wondering when we're having kiddos.  They're still a few years off - unfortunately)
9.  You deal with my hormones so incredibly well.  You don't bat an eye when I go from laughing to crying in 0.2 seconds.
10.  You are an incredibly hard worker, even in a field you don't totally love.
11.  You have a nice body.  Heehee.
12.  You're a really good breakfast cook.  I love that you enjoy doing a "chore" that I really don't like.
13.  You are trustworthy.  I know I can share my heart with you without negative retribution.
14.  You encourage me to be the woman God created me to be.  You don't confine me to a box of what a wife or woman "should be."
15.  You aren't big on watching sports.  I love that we don't have to spend our days watching or thinking about sports.
16.  You enjoy the same TV shows I do.  It's wonderful cuddling up with you, after a long day of work, and enjoying time together.
17.  You are gentle with my heart.  I'm so thankful I found someone who cherishes me the way you do.
18.  You dance with me, even in the kitchen with no music
19.  You handle the bills.  That's beyond a blessing to me.
20.  You love to travel and experience new things.  Adventures are so much more fun when I share them with you.
21.  You text me love notes throughout the day.  It always brings a smile to my face.
22.  You buy me flowers for no reason at all.  It also always brings a smile to my face.
23.  You work on the cars, build things, fix technology, and can do a lot of other stuff I had no idea how to do.
24.  You are super stinking attractive.

Happy birthday, my darling Nate.  I love you with all my heart.  You are my Prince Charming!
