Tomorrow is my wife, Melanie’s, 40th birthday so I’m dedicating this post to her. Yeah, I know… you’re not supposed to talk about a woman’s age after she turns 21 but Melanie is pretty comfortable in her own skin (and still looks totally hot) so she’s not going to mind that I do this.
For the record, I’m stealing this idea from her although she went the extra mile and wrote her “40 things” list down in a beautiful little book. Given my “social” nature, I thought it would only be appropriate if I did my list out in the open for all to see. So here is my list of 40 reasons why I love my wife in no particular order:
- You are the love of my life
- You make me laugh
- You are a GREAT mother to our three children
- Your cooking
- The fact that you are so organized
- I also love that you are always on time
- Your dedication to “science”
- The fact that you don’t mind packing
- Your cute text messages
- The fact that you were willing to give Facebook a try and are now addicted
- Your willingness to let me Twitter (within reason)
- The way you launder our sheets
- The fact that you don’t mind doing LOTS of laundry
- The fact that you don’t mind FOLDING lots of laundry
- Your kisses
- The fact that you changed your mind on a second cat (Lilly loves you for this too)
- Cuddling with you on the couch when we watch “Lost” or Netflix movies
- Traveling with you to the Turks and Caicos
- Your ability to parallel park better than me
- Your openness to new music (including the Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon)
- Sitting in front of the fire place with you
- Drinking coffee at Starbucks with you (especially without the kids — sorry kids)
- The fact that you are gentle, yet firm, loving but disciplined with our children
- Your love of the sun
- Your dislike of the cold
- Your willingness to shovel snow while I’m away
- The fact that I come home and furniture is moved and walls are painted
- Holding your hand
- Our family walks downtown
- Eating icecream with you
- Your hugs
- The fact that you embrace my side of the family as your own
- Your EXCELLENT communication skills
- Your willingness to say I’m sorry
- Your smile
- Your eyes
- The fact that you have become a diehard Red Sox fan and are willing to watch 162 games a year with me (okay maybe not 162 but a lot)
- Your ability to throw a football (left-handed, mind you) better than many guys I know
- Did I mention your kisses?
- “Other” stuff that I can’t mention here 😉
Happy birthday honey! I hope it’s your best one yet…
