20 Years/20 Reasons

Happy Anniversary to US!

Twenty years ago...

and just a few weeks ago, on a hike,
during a
very happy weekend getaway...

So in honor of twenty years, here's a list of 20 random reasons why I love Troy:

• You compliment me - all the time.
• You are a wonderful father.
• You gladly drive me around when I need to go on errands - just because you know I don't really like to drive.
• You can open tight jars, reach high things, lift heavy things, and kill scary things.
• You like going to plays with me, including musicals.
• You never hesitate to help out around the house.
• You understand my occasional need for some chocolate, some ice cream, and Cafe Rio.
• You rub my feet every single time you sit down on the couch next to me. Sometimes during church, too.
• You love my cooking.
• You are honest, kind, hardworking, and dependable.
• You support me in whatever I'm doing, whether it's cycling, tennis, eating like a vegetarian, whatever. And sometimes you even join me.
• You understand that sometimes I need to get away with my girlfriends.
• You tell me I'm a good Mom, even when I make mistakes.
• You hold and honor your priesthood and have a strong testimony.
• When I get a wild hair about tearing up the lawn and putting in gardens...you build them for me.
• When I mentioned that I was driving some ladies to a tennis match you ran out and gassed up my car, washed it and vacuumed it.
• You love my family.
• When our family has had something to grieve about, we have done it together.
• You work very hard for our family, sacrificing a lot so that I can be home right now to be with the boys. And play lots of tennis and go to lunch with my girlfriends.
• You put up with me. Yes, I put up with you too, but let's face it, you have the harder task.
  
  Golly, I love you, Troy. Can't imagine my life without you, and I feel very lucky that you are mine. Happy Anniversary!
