Perhaps it is telling that I started this post as 10 things. I had to keep going. And, I could keep going further. But blog best practices suggest that lists should be limited to 10. I think double-flouting that is enough rebellion. Plus, she might get a big head if I listed 30 things. 25 things would be safe, maybe 26, but not 30. So, I give you 20 (selected) things that I love about my wife.
20 Things I Love About My Wife
- The Scottish lilt of her voice
- Her total devotion to her friends and family
- Everything, absolutely everything, about her body
- Her colorful and fun sense of style
- The passion she has for the sea and all of its inhabitants
- Her stunning eyes – with no makeup and with dramatic cat eye makeup
- The way she remembers everything and is so thoughtful with details I seem to forget
- Her brilliant mind
- The fact that she laughs at almost all of my jokes
- Her ability to wear heels and other uncomfortable clothing gracefully
- The way she holds my hand – actively squeezing, rather than lazily
- Her inability to tell a striker from a quarterback
- The way she drapes herself over me and fits no matter how small the available space
- Her crinkled up nose and other funny faces
- The fact that she will grab the screwdriver to tackle a project if I am not fast enough, but stills sees me as big, strong and capable
- Her passion for life
- How sparkly she is
- The unjaded way she sees the world
- Her laughter, and her tears
- And, last but certainly not least, the fact that she loves me
It’s Butch to proclaim your love loudly, even if you don’t have a blog on which to do it. Be Butch.
Well this is super sweet! And good practice!! We should all praise each other often and identify each other’s awesome characteristics! The world would be happier. 🙂
