34 Reasons I adore my husband
1. He unclogs some disgusting sinks around here!
2. He has been bringing me flowers on our kids birthdays since Miriam's first birthday. (Bub's flowers are outside waiting to be planted)
3. He is a builder. He doesn't enjoy speaking negatively about people or things. He wants to discuss solutions.
4. He is a problem solver. Check out at the bike seat he rigg
ed up for Soren.
5. Large puppy dog eyes with long eye lashes...Bub inherited them both lucky boy.
6. He will HATE this post.
7. He has great and unique tastes in music.
8. He is Mr. Fix it...overflowing toilets, broken disposals, flat tires, my man either knows what to do or learns what to do.
9. He cares more about who people are, and what they can do than what they look like.
10. He doesn't like fake beauty...cosmetic surgery (unless medically needed), fake anything-tans, eyelashes, hair. He doesn't even like lots of make up. Can I tell you how refreshing that is? I feel like the worldly pressure on women is intense if I felt it from Darin as well I would totally cave.
11. Witty and intelligent sense of humor. His whole family has it, it's a gift.
12. He gets obsessed with learning things. He will read and study everything he can find about whatever he happens to be into at the moment.
13. He is extremely slow to anger.
14. He doesn't jump to conclusions.
15. He cares deeply about nature, he is willing to take action to keep it clean and healthy.
16. He is a thoughtful gift giver. I have beautiful pearl earrings from Mother's Day {and he helped the kids with breakfast in bed}
17. He loves and respects the women in his life, his mother, his sisters, his daughter and lucky me! He is always respectful to women he works with.
18. He takes on difficult tasks he has no desire to do, just because someone needs to do them.
19. He is not a glory seeker, he never wants limelight ever {not even on his birthday}
20. He encourages the children and I to be creative and use our imaginations. Through his own creative example, and also by providing opportunities.
21. He has written intelligent and persuasive letters to congressmen about policies he is concern about.
22. He is careful with my feelings and insecurities.
23. He loves to play with the kids toys. I don't enjoy putting together hot wheel tracks, or hexabug habitats, how nice that I can say "Daddy would love to play" and he does!
24. Clothes are for function only, he doesn't care about brands {unless it's a brand known for functionality}, trends, or what people tell him is cool.
25. He will watch BBC mini series with me
26. He introduces me to great TV (The IT crowd, Freaks and Geeks, Community and dare I say it??? We are currently watching Battlestar Galactica)
27. He lets me splurge on nice church clothes for the kids because it means so much to me to see the kids dressed up nice on Sundays.
28. He would rather be in nature than a theme park, but has been known to enjoy a good thrill ride.
29. He reads the information plaques at museums.
30. He likes to play funny games on his ipod like Goo World but doesn't overdo it by playing too much. It never would have worked between us if he was a video game addict.
31. He keeps our technology up and running smoothly, he also gives a lot of his time to help family members with theirs.
32. He researches where to get the best price on whatever we need to buy, and finds little ways to save a few dollars here and there.
33. He likes to try new foods and eat at locally owned restaurants. He doesn't like spending money on subpar fast food.
34. THIS LIST WAS SO EASY TO MAKE! I have tons of other things I could add...good thing he is getting older every year!
He does have one MAJOR flaw.....
it's hard to buy him gifts!!
How did I get so lucky?
