On our 26th anniversary...

26 reasons I am so glad I married my fabulous hubby:

1) his kids are the other important people in his life...
2) he has taken care of me when I am sick, too many times to count... (as a nurse it must really be lousy to have to do so much caring for someone else, off shift...)
3) he's emotionally and physically faithful, and trusts me implicitly to be the same.
4) he does not make me listen to "his" music in "his" car...
5) he thinks the BEST of everyone he knows... no I mean really... this is not an act.
6) he will eat anything I put in front of him, and like it...
7) he works hard, not just for us, but he works so hard in his employer's behalf...
8) his foot massage technique is to die for...
9) he tells me all the time... "love you bunches"...
10) he brings me flowers just because he loves me, and for no other reason at all...
11) he doesn't buy me gifts I will never use...
12) he remembers important days... better than I do sometimes...
13) he knows how to, and will ~ without being asked... do laundry, dishes AND bathrooms...
14) he sometimes takes "short-cuts" (sorry if you don't understand that one... family joke...)
15) he was/is my handsome prince...
16) he cooks! (well)
17) he knows bizarre facts...
18) he shares with me...
19) he plays cute with the dog... actually, it would be truer to say he plays LIKE the dog...
20) he likes the same restaurants I do...
21) he gave me: Son1,
22) Princess Bride,
23) & Son2...
24) he likes to hold hands... a lot...
25) he is really smart... and not just book smart...
26) he happily married me twice--once for life, and once for always...

...happy love month, everyone...

It's November... which means it's "our month" again... I am hoping that this year we won't have any accidents as part of our life together... ;-)

For anyone that doesn't have anything to celebrate in November celebrate our love month with us... Here are some suggestions of things we do as a couple that we highly recommend...

canasta (or other card games)
puzzles (and other board games)
lunches (or dinners) out OR in
work on the house
hold hands
cuddle like newlyweds
study the scriptures
talk about everything
pray together for blessings, in life, marriage and for loved ones

All of these activities can and will help with your relationship too... I promise... They are just a few of our "secrets"...
