8 Reasons why I Love my Patrick

So, in honor of our 8 year anniversary I thought I'd list the top 8 reasons why I love my Hubby! It's been 3 (or more) years since we've actually celebrated our anniversary together, but he's been home for birthday's and all the big holiday's, so I am NOT complaining!

8. He's a fighter pilot! My dream was to marry a fighter pilot (thank you Top Gun)and the fact that I got such a hotty does not hurt at all! But seriously he serves his country with great pride and because of him our babies and grand babies will get to live in the "Land of the Free."
7. He can do math! I know that sounds so silly, but a mathematician I am not and I can not tell you how nice it is to be able to say "How much is 30% off of...?" and most of the time he believes me when I say "Well, I had to buy it because it was such a good deal!"
6. He's Funny! Truly, truly funny. Everybody who's reading this going "He's so quiet!" No, he's not...and with that I'll go into the next one...
5. He talks to me about everything all the time. I love that and I appreciate it so much. I know this will be hard for most of you to believe, but sometimes I can not get a word in!
4. He sings a lot. He makes up songs as he goes. It's really sweet. If he's giving the kid's a bath he's probably singing about it and because of that Aiden and Laina Paige do the exact same thing...they're pretty much always happy just like him!
3. He has a great smile and laugh and he does both often...that's happiness!
2. He hugs me all the time. He says I'm most huggable when I'm busy. Sometimes I complain because I want to "finish what I'm doing", but I do truly love that after 8 years of marriage and 10 years together I'm still huggable. My favorite hugs are when he comes up behind me and puts him arms around me (I've missed those this summer)!
1. He loves us plain and simple. There is never any doubt in my mind that the kid's and I are his greatest treasure. He shows us that everyday and I hope we do the same for him!

I truly am the luckiest girl in the world. I married my best friend. There is nobody else that I would want with my in this adventure that we're on. I thank God everyday for bringing us together 10 years ago in Hotlanta!
Love you BTTW, honey! Miss you! Thanks for the best 8 years of my life...can't wait to see what the next 92 have in store!

That was then!

This is now...life is GOOD!
