The Reason Why.

Dear Newlywed Husband,

In exactly one month from today we will have been married for a whole year! It doesn't seem like it's been that long, does it?

Probably because I love you so much...

~I love you because you never forget to kiss me goodbye in the morning, or hello at night.

~I love you for trying to always make me laugh when I am having a bad day.

~I love that you are so totally and completely silly around babies - you instantly start making funny faces and tickling them...and it makes me want to see you with our future babies.

~I love your work ethic, and how you treat everyone fairly and with patience and compassion.

~I love how you look when you first wake up - bright-eyed and messy hair.

~I love that you never, ever make me drive when we are in the car together, because you know how much I hate driving.

~I love that you are manly enough to adore Nascar, yet metro enough to know what Valentino is.

~I love that you have the same stupid sense of humor as I do - and will laugh when I ask if you are 'happy like a clam' or 'crabby like a crab'.

~I love your smile, because you smile with your eyes, and not just your mouth.

~I love the way you hold the door for me, and everyone within a 15 foot radius.

~I love that you treat a waiter, valet, or anyone in the service industry with the same level of respect that you would give the president of the biggest company in the country.

~I love the fact that you not only refused to be intimidated by my loud, overwhelming family, but that you actually thought they were awesome. (which they are :)

~I love you for planning huge, elaborate vacations to Europe or South America with me... and then agreeing that we should just go to the beach and drink pina coladas.

~I love you for never making me worry about who will provide for our family.

~I love that you tell me that I remind you of Catherine Zeta Jones, when in reality I resemble Karen Walker from Will & Grace.

~I love that you have never complained about my cooking, and have eaten everything I have ever served you with a smile and a 'Wow honey, this is delicious'!

~I love that you let me watch Will & Grace re-runs in bed, even though I fall asleep within the first 5 minutes.

~I love that we have been married almost a year, and it seems as though it has been forever, but at the same time just an instant ago that we said 'I do'.

Happy almost anniversary honey.

Love,

Your Wife.
