Oh to be loved...and to be so in love!

As most of you know...Tim and I first met in high school. It took him most of our high school career before he finally got the courage to ask me out...and when he finally did I told him no :). But, that's a whole other story!

Whenever Valentines Day rolls along, I always think about the first Valentines Day with Tim. We were in our last year of high school, and we had an early morning concert chior practice on February 14th. After practice, Tim came up and told me he had something for me in his locker. So...with butterflies in my stomach, I grabbed my backpack, and headed down D hall with him...wondering what in the heck he would have for me in his locker. I never expected him to pull out five gerber daisies. I had mentioned to him once in passing a while before that my most favorite flowers were gerber daisies because they really are just the happiest flower, but I had no idea that he would remember. When he handed them to me, I was so surprised...and yet at that exact moment...completely and entirely smitten with him. I carried those flowers around with me all day to every single class knowing that I was the luckiest girl at Taylorsville High School because a boy, a cute, shy, sweet boy had given me gerber daisies because he knew how much I loved them.

So...in honor of Valentines Day, I want to list 14 of the reasons I love my sweet husband...because as you know...I married the boy who gave me daisies :).

1. He makes me feel beautiful everyday, and I can count on him telling me at least once a day exactly how beautiful he thinks I am

2. Because of Tim...I am a better me. I want to be better each and everyday so that I can be the type of person that he is

3. He lives what the word love means

4. He is so excited to be a daddy, and loves our sweet little girl so much already

5. His testimony of the gospel

6. He makes me laugh everyday...he'll even do silly things on purpose just to hear me giggle

7. Being around him makes me happier than anything in this world

8. He works so hard for our little family

9. He is the most unselfish person I know

10. He is full of goodness

11. He is incredibly smart

12. He always holds my hand

13. He tells me every day how much he loves me...and I can always count on a kiss in the morning before he leaves for work, and a kiss a night before he falls asleep

14. He is incredibly good looking :)

So Tim...I just want you to know how grateful I am for you, how much I love you, and how much you mean to mean. You truely have made me the luckiest woman in the world! I love you!
