Things I Love About Jaren

Today is my sweet husband's 27th birthday. I am eternally grateful that he was born. He is my everything. My world. Marriage has been such a gift in my life. There are so many things I love about him. Sometimes he may drive me crazy or annoy the heck out of me and other times we argue but the good outweighs the bad by about 100 million ;)  

Jaren, I know you will read this (because I will tell you to ;) so here are 27 things that I love about you! HAPPY 27TH BIRTHDAY LOVE!!

1- You let me put my ice cold feet on your legs as I fall asleep
2- You bear your testimony in little insights you share each day
3- You like every person you meet
4- You never have anything unkind to say about anyone
5- The fact that "We are so blessed" is a common response from you
6- That you are quiet when you get ready in the morning so that you don't wake me up but then end up waking me up anyway with an "I love you babe" when you leave.
7- That I'll be going a million miles an hour in the kitchen making a meal and you will slowly pull me close and whisper "Thank you for all that you do."
8- Sometimes you surprise me with a Reeses or Hershey bar when you come home from the store
9- You always ask my opinion and value it
10- You kiss me after every single nightly prayer
11- You are quick to realize a gift from God and are quick to thank Him
12- You love it when I lay my head on your shoulder in church and ask me to do it
13- That you tell me to pause exactly where I am ("Don't move!") so that you can take a picture of me
14- You are so animated with your expressions
15- That you teach Hannah about God through little comments you say
16- That when I am pulling out of the driveway and you see me, you press your fist to your heart and then point to me
17- That you get sucked into any movie/show that is on the TV (even if it is Blues Clues haha)
18- That we sometimes stay up late into the night laughing and teasing each other
19- You get dressed up for dates to impress me (even if it is a date at home!)
20- That you appreciate science and love it so much
21- Hannah is your little love
22- You value motherhood and womanhood
23- That you have had a crush on me since I was 16 and never gave up until you got me
24- That being a dad is your most favorite thing in the world
25- That you have worked so hard in school
26- That you woke up yesterday morning and said "I'm so glad that I married you. I want to get to know you even more than I do. I wanna be a fly on the wall during your day when we are apart. I love you." (Yes, I am a stalker and I jotted that down after you left the room).
27- Today, on your birthday, you changed Hannah's blow-out poopy diaper and said "I have missed changing her diapers! I like taking care of her!"
