9 things I love about you

Mike and I have been married for 9 years, together for 9 years 49 days. It's a good thing we've known each other forever. We were talking the other night reminiscing about some of the dumb fights we've gotten into. It wasn't a very long conversation because there were only 2 that really stood out. They both make me laugh now. One was over laundry. We had to use a laundry mat when we first got married and we were dirt poor. We were out of quarters and Mike was ticked that there wasn't any clean laundry. The only thing I really remember about the fight is me standing at the top of the stairs of the apartment complex saying, "Yeah well screw you too!" I have to laugh at how silly we were. The other fight I don't remember but Mike does. I wasn't a very good cook when we first got married. We ate out a lot and Mike cooked most of our meals for the first year. He got home from work one day and I asked what was for dinner. He said I'm having grilled cheese. I asked where mine was and he said the stuff is right here waiting for you to make it. He was so mad at me and wouldn't cook for me after that. Needless to say I was forced into learning how to cook and I have been doing it dang near every night since then. Like I said they were silly, dumb fights. Thankfully we haven't had any huge knock down drag out fights and I hope we never do.

Here are 9 things I love about Mike:
1. Your sense of humor. You make me laugh every single day.
2. Your loyalty. No matter how cranky I am or how mean I get you always stay.
3. Your work ethic. I know that sounds lame, but you are one of the hardest working people I know. And even though it drives me crazy sometimes it's one of you best qualities.
4. Your big heart. Don't worry I won't tell anybody. ;)
5. The way you always speak your mind.
6. The way you play with the kids. One of my favorite things to do is watch you play and listen to the laughter always accompanies it.
7. Your silly songs that you make up on the fly. They crack me up.
8. That you are always there to listen when I've had a bad day.
9. The way to look at me.

Even though he probably won't ever read this I want him to know how much I love him and appreciate him.
