  4. Your smile

  5. Your dimples

  6. Your brown eyes

  7. You can fix almost anything.

  9. Your kisses

  10. Your hugs

  11. You let me warm up my cold feet on you in bed.

  12. You're smart.

  13. You explain things well without talking down to people.

  14. You're humble.

  25. You like and appreciate my cooking.

  26. You love wearing your grubby "comfortable" clothes but dress appropriately as warranted.

  27. You're frugal. (That doesn't always fit on this list!)

  28. You let me turn off the radio when the noise bothers me even though you were listening to it.

  29. You listen to me talk.

  30. You talk to me and share your thoughts with me.

  31. You hold me when I cry.

  32. You know and understand that when I say "I love you", there is so much more to it than just those three words.

Thank you for being the wonderful man and husband that you are.

All my love,

Melanie

  1. Great list! I agree, "frugal" is a great quality in a man, but not always one of my favorites!

  7. Melanie,

    I am a "list girl", so this post truly was up my alley. I know that you are very blessed to have someone like Josh. And by the way, I especially identified with #26 in a MAJOR way! LOVED IT!

  10. Ahhhh....I love the list!! It brings back memories for me reading this. When we first got married, we'd tease each other with the beginning lines of the same "How much I do love thee...." :) I'm sure it blessed him so much to read it!
