I got this idea off Jen and decided to do a list for Russell as a present for him.
I woke him up early this morning for him to read it. We haven't got each other presents, as we are on a tight budget and it would probably just stress us out a little bit. But we have some Gold Class movie vouchers I won at work that we are going to go on a date with next week...which we are both looking forward to.
Anyway...here is my list of 100 things I love about my amazing husband:
I love...
1. Your ‘special’ dance that you do for me
2. The way you tuck me in when I’m sick (bundling)
3. The way you look after me when I’ve hurt myself – you rub my back and put my bandaid on and kiss it better
4. Your cute butt
5. The way you discuss God and church and always listen to my opinion
6. The way you think it’s your responsibility to drive
7. How you cried when you saw our baby at our first ultra sound
8. The way you held me for hours when we lost our first baby
9. The face you pull when I’m running around being silly
10. How you have slowly been learning different handy man tricks…you make me so proud
11. How you put up with my mid-night antics
12. Your smell
13. How you can look back on things and laugh

20. The way you grab me and dance with me in the kitchen spontaneously

Congrats on 3 yrs. Awww that was so nice. What an amazing guy! I'll have to to do something nice for Duncan on our first anniversary...I'm too mean to him sometimes :(
that was beautiful Bek. I'm sure he loved it.
I don't think I could come up with 100 things about anyone. When I saw 100 i was like - wow!
It was a lot harder than I originally thought it would be!!
It is tough, isn't it! The ordinaries are so often over looked. I'm up to 555 now (I'm posting again on Friday next week, I'm writing them down as I think of them) and I'll tell you what... it's getting tougher. Pray I make it to 1000 as originally planned *grin*
congrates on 3 yrs thats totally awesome :)
you are one brave lady Jen! I don't think I could do 1000...that sounds really bad, but it's true!! Maybe after a few more years :)
