*you love trivia pursuit and i can't stand it.

*you love depeche mode, erasure, and crowded house and i'd rather eat a bucket of worms then listen to them for 2 seconds they all scare me!

*you hate cilantro and I would rub it all over my body and eat it on everything!

*you sing every second of the day and everyone LOVES your voice. . i never sing and everyone is glad.

*you sleep with barely anything on and no covers and i can't get enough clothes made of fleece on my body and blankets over me.

* you love movies with adventure and violence and i only like movies where humans get married or have a baby!

* you love to listen to music all the time and i love to look at pictures!

but for some reason we adore each other and can't get enough of each other! i can truly say i have fallen in love with you more every year. we have worked hard on our marriage. we both are committed to making marriage. . fun and deep, and our first priority behind our faith. we both believe with all our hearts the very best gift we can give our children is a great marriage. you are an amazing man who works so hard to make us all happy, protect us and provide for us in every way. i still look at you and thank God for the greatest gift he has ever blessed me with an incredible husband who is deeply committed to his faith, family and callings in his life. i think you are hot, funny, thoughtful, intentional, and you are my favorite human on the planet!
