25 Confessions of a Husband

Just for the record...

1. My favorite thing when I come home is seeing you walk up to me without saying a word and hug me like I'd been gone for a year.

2. I've never known anyone who looked good in everything they wear. If I had to pick, though, I'd say you've come the closest of the people I've seen try. (ps - sorry about last weekend. I know it was my turn at laundry day.)

3. Sometimes it scares me how good of a mom you're going to be. When kids see you, they just sit, listen and are deeply impacted. When kids see me, they think, "wow, who brought the human jungle gym?!" You're amazing.

4. I really do like tofu. Every time you cook it, it tastes great. I'm just morally opposed to vegetarian food for religious reasons.

5. Remember when we used to race to Baton Rouge in separate cars? That's one of my favorite memories ever. You're like Andretti, but hot, young, and my wife. If we keep racing, I think you might even beat me one day...if you're lucky.

6. My favorite "I love you's" come at night when you're not really awake because you're only saying what's really deep down in there.

7. I remember one day when I was younger, I forgot my lunch at home and someone brought it to me at school. I used to pray that when I grew up someone would do that for me when I was at work. Thanks for answering my prayers.

8. I dream bigger when I'm around you.

9. I love cooking for you because when we first started dating, you ate that nasty chicken marsala recipe I messed up. If you'll eat that out of love way back then, I know whatever I make today is going to be ok.

10. I love hearing you pray. It's like eavesdropping on a lifelong love affair.

11. In our house in Baton rouge, I could always hear you walking around. You walked like a tap dancer: heel-toe, heel-toe. At first I thought you were just a heavy walker. Later I learned you really were a tap dancer. In hind sight, I think both were right. You've made the biggest footprints in my life just by walking into it.

12. I have no idea how you use 5 towels a day, but whatever you're doing, keep it up. You look great, love.

13. Same thing with the toilet paper. I'm completely baffled, but keep it up.

14. I looked up 4 different Michelada recipes for you, trying to find one you'd like. Turns out you prefer the bottled mix. Thanks for Zing-ing so I could Zang. You always keep me on my toes; giving me opportunities to learn more about you.

15. You were right, I could totally eat sushi every day.

16. Teddy is completely convinced he's your guard dog. Watch out world. It's Teddy, your killer Miniature Schnauzer guard dog. woof

17. Sometimes you'll tell me a joke and I'll laugh. Then I'll remember how you told it a few hours later and fall over laughing. You're so good at telling jokes.

18. Sometimes I get dressed in the dark and I don't realize until much later that none of my clothes match. That never happens when we're going somewhere together...Thanks.

19. I love that you always sit up front where ever we go. I know that you need to, but I still love it about you.

20. I never understood what the deal was with you and the kitchen. Now I realize that you have such a desire to be good at everything you do that you only have 4-5 things that you'll cook for anyone but me. I have to confess that those 4-5 things are really, really good.

21. When you talk about your friends, you only mention the good stuff. I never understood that when we met, but now I realize that you're incapable of remember the bad in people. That amazes me about you.

22. I'm really not testing your drink for poison when I take a sip. I just like sharing stuff with you.

23. You really do do maverick-y things.

24. I don't understand anything about hair, but I think yours is amazing. For the record, I'm totally jealous that when yours falls out, new hair grows in to replace it.

25. I know you're really super woman. I'm just playing along because I love the hero inside of you too.
