Reason 287...
You're my husbandt.
There's this thing in Pittsburgh, maybe other places too, where because of the accent or something else, many people say "husbandt" instead of "husband". Pittsburgh is home to many of these quirks. It's home to my wife, and she's one of those quirks. This pronunciation is ingrained in her. I think it's both cute and a little maddening. But more important than anything, "husbandt" mean husband. And she's my wife.
Reason 278...
You were my grade school crush.
I've covered this before but I think it's important to really reflect on this at times. My wife has liked me since she was a little girl. How amazing is this!? I am very lucky to have a woman who loves me and has a history with me that goes back so far. Even though we were apart for so long, we shared so many experiences together that our bond is stronger than anyone I've ever met.
Reason 57...
How I've loved you since grade school.
How about that? Pure luck. She may not believe me, but I thought she was cute.
Reason 75...
Our move to Houston.
This was a leap of faith on her part. She moved her daughter and herself down to Houston after a year of dating long distance. We spent as much time together prior to that but it was still limited. She knew from the start that she wanted to be with me for the rest of her life. I took a chance too but I knew that I loved her and I was willing to bring her daughter in as mine. It paid off big time. I couldn't see myself without her.
