I love a lot of things about my husband.

I love how he is still a kid at heart. I love when he plays with his children. I love when he plays with me. I love when he tickles me or wrestles with his children. I love how he is a great dad. He manages to find out what is bothering Connor and reasure him in such a calm and loving way. He is a magnet for hugs and cuddles from his kids (me too!)

I love his strong hands. I love how he of all the people in the whole world, has made me feel safe from the first time we were together. I love how he sees himself as a protector, trying to take care of his family and his soldiers. He is not just my knight in shining armor, but he watches out for other women too....willing to step up and help out when they don't have anyone to turn to.

I love how he is a 1SG. I am so immensely proud of him. I see the hard work that he is doing and I see the respect that he has from everyone who has the privilege of working with him.

Part of that respect comes from the fact that he has the most integrity of anyone that I've ever met. He is fiercely loyal and caring. He won't ask anyone to do something that he is not willing to do.

I love him with all my heart and I could enumerate the reasons for hours, but the more I write, the more I think of reasons that I love him.

I'm glad that he asked me to marry him 11 years ago. I'm glad that I didn't panic and run out of the church. I'm glad that we have time and all eternity to be together.
