If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Anniversary Countdown: What I Love About You


Scott, when we first met all I knew was you were a tall, handsome man who "had it all together" and I knew I wanted to get to know you more. Then we started dating and I saw even more things I liked, and all I knew was I wanted to keep you. Then you asked me to marry you and here it is four years later and all I know is I want to please you more and more every day.


I have a feeling that I will always be finding more things to love about you, but that's only true because you continue to grow as a man of God. So with that, I start my list!

What I love about you:

  • You are a life-long learner. You've been out of Sem for several years, yet you are still challenging yourself with biographies and theology textbooks
  • You don't shy away from being the leader of the home
  • You are confident but teachable
  • You are so handsome!
  • You value and treasure our marriage and take many steps to protect it
  • You take care of all the money and plan for the future
  • You are so funny. Only you can make me laugh when I'm sad or angry
  • You are the only person I'll watch basketball with
  • You are quick to admit when you are wrong
  • You can't wait for our son to be born
  • You know how to fix the washing machine or the computer
  • Our dog likes you better than me
  • I love your athleticism and hope our children will be like you
  • You keep to our budget well but don't mind splurging on Starbucks when we can get it
  • You let me rant and rave when I'm having a bad day
  • You are my favorite fishing buddy
  • You are getting better at picking up after yourself, but you still need me :-)
  • You do really well in our language class and work hard to keep learning
  • I want to be with you no matter what we are doing
  • You use your creativity and always amaze me with special gifts
  • You make me want to be the best wife I can possibly be
  • You bring out the best in me
  • You bring out the worst in me :-)
  • You are selfless. You are always running to the grocery store for something I forgot or carrying all the luggage in the airport-- all without complaining
  • You make me feel special and loved and treasured
  • You eat anything I cook and say "Wow, honey that was great!"
  • Even in this strange, far-off country I feel safe and provided for with you by me
  • I love all the different laughs you have
  • I love that there isn't enough blog space on the internet to make a list of EVERYTHING I love about you

Happy almost 4th Anniversary, Scott!!
