Why I love my husband.....

There are many things I can list about why I love my husband. For some reason, this is on my mind and I felt the need to recite a few things.
1-He loves me - truly!
2 - He lovingly lets me sleep late on Saturday mornings.
3-He is as OCD about things as I am....just different things. Like he sets out everything for breakfast the night before....measuring cup, bowl, spoon, etc. :)
4 - He has shown great discipline in running and focusing on getting healthy.
5 - He encourages me to run and does not mind to watch the boys so I can accomplish that task.
6 - He works extremely hard in order for me to stay home and raise our boys.
7 - He is reading his Bible, striving to be a better husband, father and follower of Christ.
8 - He indulges my whims, like wanting to watch Friends reruns (he went and got seasons 2-5 for me so far!), and seems happy to do so.
9 - He graciously allows me to get out and have nights with friends or be involved in ministry and singing on the worship team. He watches the boys, does the bedtime ritual all by himself and does not grumble about this.
10 - He seems to like my scrapbooking obsession and happily indulges me with gadgets and better printers/photo paper.
11- If I even mention something I would like, he usually researches it online and finds a good deal, tells me where I can find it, etc.
12- He loves to play with my hair :)
13- He supports me in my quest to be a better mom and wife.
14- He is generous with his time and always willing to lend a hand to a friend.
15- He is extremely intelligent.
16- He is generous with his money and diligently gives his tithe and offering to church and other worthy causes.
17 - He takes the time to explain things and teach the boys about things I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about (like physics, building something, electrical current, etc.) :)

The list can go on and on...but most importantly, he just loves me - warts and all. I know I can try his patience and I can dig my heels in and be STUBBORN. He just waits me out and gives me space. I am so grateful for his love and the way he loves our kids. God has blessed me immensely. I can honestly say that I love him more now than I did almost eight years ago (March 30) when we married. I am grateful for the ways he can still make my toes curl or make me laugh deep belly laughs. Praise God for putting us in one another's paths and guiding us toward the other. He knew what he was doing!
