Today is my wonderful wife's Birthday! Since she did such a kind post full of lies for my big 2-5 I thought it only fair to return the favor (without the lies of course). So here it goes, 25 reasons I love Danielle:
1. She is smoking hot and crazy sexy! Enough said.
2. She is funny! You've read her posts, you know it's true.
3. She is a great cook. I never had to experience that Kenny Chesney "eating burnt suppers the whole first year" thing. She has always been good and it keeps getting better.
4. She keeps the house looking good. She works hard all day long to bring home the bacon and then comes home and cooks it too. Or in this case, works to clean the house even after a hard day of work.
5. She is supportive. I have some crazy dreams and wishes, but she has never once made me feel that I couldn't accomplish them. She encourages me everyday.
6. She genuinely cares for other people. I have never known anyone with as pure a heart as my wife. She can be shy at times, but that does not stop her caring for others.
7. She works hard. She worked very hard all through school to get a well-earned degree and now gets to put that hard work into a hard working job. She is a tough little lady!
8. She is my Sugar Mamma. As mentioned, she brings home the bacon while I am going to school and working summer jobs. But she pours the sugar on me as well. She always makes me feel loved.
9. She is my best friend. We get along so well and are completely comfortable with each other. I can tell her anything without feeling judged.
10. She's concerned about me. Especially my health. She makes sure I ration my food intake and get to the gym. I may complain, but I know it is out of love and for the best...I think :)
11. She is creative. She may say otherwise but it is true, just look at the post before this one. She is talented in many ways whether she believes it or not.
12. She is loved by both our families which makes it fun to go home and spend time with them. We don't have any in-laws complaints.
13. She is a good example (usually) and the times she's not she makes up for it in humor :) She helps me be a better person.
14. She will be a great mom! I tell her all the time, "Consider how much I am like a child, and you do great with me!" I know she'll be great, no doubt in my mind.
15. She is brave. Admittedly, I can be shy sometimes and she pushes me to break this habit. She is a little fire-cracker when needs be. I let her put the pressure on people if situation calls for it.
16. She is smart! She reads and reads some more. She is my go to for vocabrulary and speelling.
17. She embraces my hobbies and let's me go fishing. She even tags along when it's warm and reads patiently, holding the camera at the ready for when Mr. Trout appears, which usually requires a lot of waiting:)
18. She is fun to be with. We try to get out of the house from time to time and may just walk around the mall like old people or take a walk around town during our 3 out of 12 months that are warm.
19. She makes me feel strong! It helps that I am a foot taller than her, but she makes sure to pad the ego every now and then and build me up when I am down.
20. We have the same goals and standards. Granted, they may not be the highest goals and standards, but at least they are the same, and we don't judge each other :) We see eye to eye on most everything (figuratively).
21. She keeps us in order. She keeps a budget and manages the money, of course she makes it all too! I poke my head in once in a while to make sure I am included, but she is really the one who keeps track of it all.
22. She has dreams and goals and makes sure they are accomplished.
23. She is adventurous! I love that she is willing to tag along on my crazy adventures and ill planned, last minute trips. I couldn't "plan" them if she wasn't willing to go along.
24. She is athletic and active. Say what you will about cheerleading being a sport. We take turns motivating the other to go to the gym and she is still healthy and going good at the ripe old age of 25!
25. She'll forever be my bride! What more could I ask for than to have her with me forever! I don't think she knew what she was getting into.
Love you Dani! Happy Birthday!
