20 Years, 20 Reasons

Today Rick & I celebrate our 20th anniversary.  We’ve already done the presents, but I wanted to tell him just a few of the reasons why I love him so much.

• You gave me the choice of an engagement ring or leather coat.  (Guess which one I chose.)
• You asked my Dad for permission to marry me.
• You know I’m a freeze baby and will gladly roast in 90 degree heat just so I am “comfortable.”
• You make sure that I receive respect from others.
• When I say “kiss my ass” you literally do so.
• When I have bad breath, you let me know it.
• You willingly clean up cat puke.
• You think I’m beautiful when I wake up in the morning.
• You will feed Calie just so I can sleep in.
• You closed your store just to be home with me when I had my teeth pulled to make sure I was OK.
• You ask me if I want a PB&J at 10 PM.
• You really want to know how my day went.
• You value my opinion.
• You will pull over to the side of the road so I can take pictures of eagles, buffalo, etc.
• You’re not afraid to buy “person items” for me.
• You think it’s great when I get time off of work.
• You will eat whatever I cook even though it may not be very good.
• You will tell me not to make lasagna more than once a year because that is your limit.
• You worry about me more than you should.
• You adopted my girls and became the best father they could ever have.
