Day 9

When I was searching for my one true love, I knew this was a quality I couldn't skimp on. I had to marry someone who knew the value of hard work.   Little did I know I needed to put a caveat in there... My love needs to know when to work hard, and when to play/rest.  Heavenly Father must love me a lot, because He gave me Bj, who knows exactly when to put the shoulder to the wheel, and when to lay back and have some fun.

I love that Bj works hard.

No matter what he does, he does it well.  He puts his whole heart into it. 

Even if it is 3 year old soccer.

I love that he holds a busy calling in our ward, does all he needs to, and still doesn't stress out about it.

He works hard, and is a good delegator.  

I LOVE HIM.

Day 8

Flowers

The first few years we were married, Bj worked hard to bring flowers to me, at least once a month.

I have always loved that he is so thoughtful.

I love that he had that goal, from the very beginning, to be the best husband he could be.

Honestly, the flowers aren't coming once a month anymore, but they have been replaced by:

diapers, dove chocolate, formula, cheese, hamburger buns...

whatever we need that I am too lazy to pack all the kids up and go get.

I love these little acts of kindness.  

He goes out of his way to show me he loves me.

I LOVE HIM.

Day 7

What else do I love about Bj?  He is a smarty pants!  

I mean it, he is super smart and handy.  He is an engineer, and I love how his brain works.  

The patio cover, the new island, and all the pinewood derby cars....I love that he can figure out most our "fix it" needs.

We rarely need to hire a professional to do work around the house.  

When I need help with quilt patterns, this guy is there for me! 

I love knowing I have my very own "smarty pants."

Day 6

Each night, as I sit down from a long day of loving my family, my dear love gets me a glass of water to sit and enjoy.  

I don't have to ask, this man I married knows my needs before I do.

These little things mean the most to me.  The small kindnesses he shows me each day truly touches my heart.
