In the interest of getting this done before our anniversary, I'm going to begrudgingly stop taking pictures of the reasons and just type them out. I've done the math. I need to do 17 a day, every day until our anniversary. I can do this. For my wife!
Reason 243...
You do things to make me happy.
Oh and I do many things to make my wife not happy. I am grateful that she doesn't dwell on those though! I just recently "let" her buy 10 magic skirts that she really wanted. She gets excited over things like that because she never really goes shopping for herself. I guess this is what she's talking about in part, but I'm sure it's deeper than that. Maybe I'm hitting writer's block. My wife deserves to be happy. On every level, every day. I know I fail to do everything I can to make that possible but I try. And she's obviously ok with that.
Reason 45...
The way you smell.
Ahhhhh, Old Spice High Endurance Original...THANK YOU! My wife (and my daughter) love the way I smell. My Dad thinks it's disgusting. But sometimes I'll catch my wife giving me a hug and secretly trying to smell me too. I tell her it's the mix of my deodorant and my natural manly musk. I'm not sure what it is, but it works! I don't think she'd like me if I wore other deodorant to be honest...which is fine with me because I love old spice original. So, that's another reason why I love her. She likes my sexy, manly pit smell. She doesn't smell bad herself.
Reason 33...
How I see you in our children.
I spend as much time as I can with my kids. My Dad was the same way. So I guess I get it from him. I also think that kids need to see grownups, especially their parents act like children sometimes. See them having fun and being goofy. After all, I wouldn't want to constantly be reminded how hard and tiring it is to be an adult sometimes. So I whistle, I sing and I make funny noises. My daughter does the same. She sings, I taught her how to whistle and she has a lot of my personality. My son is slowly coming around for a year old boy. He'll be whistling in no time. I think the circle comes back to my wife though. She makes me very comfortable. Enough that I don't give it a second thought walking around the house singing or making funny noises to make my kids laugh. She's my manager. I couldn't, or perhaps wouldn't feel comfortable if she didn't accept me for me. And that's something I'll always appreciate in her.
Reason 9...
The way you kiss me.
I'd like to think my wife and I are passionate beings. We don't always kiss, but when we do it's pretty awesome. I know just where to kiss my wife to make her think about me until the kids go the hell to sleep. I think we're very compatible in that way...we love each other, not just mentally but physically. I've never had such a complete love with another person as I do with my wife and I'm seriously thankful for what she has brought to my life in those regards.
Reason 165...
The way you sing to me.
A few people have told me that I should try out for the voice. My wife mentions it every few weeks. But I just like to sing. Whether it's some old Incubus or "O sole mio" I could sing for days. Sometimes I sing for my wife and thankfully for us both she enjoys it. Sometimes I sing to aggravate her, but maybe I'm really doing it to impress her. She's my number one audience and if it wasn't for her "support" I certainly wouldn't be as happy as I am. I love that she's on my side, always ready to cheer me on or bring me up. I should do more of that for her because she's the last woman I'll ever love as my wife.
Reason 150...
You are the best.
I've seen a few of these "reasons" before and I like to think of them as "filler" reasons. Maybe she hit a roadblock. Frankly I don't know how she did this in the first place. It is a herculean effort to sit down and rake over your life like she did. So really, wife, you're the best.
