3 Years and Counting

Yesterday was our 3 year anniversary and I have to say that this one was pretty special. It's not that we went anywhere exotic or bought each other extravagant gifts, but there was something exciting about the fact that this will be our last year celebrating our marriage just the two of us. We had dinner at Cafe Ritz in West Point, which was so delish, then came home to watch the video my aunt made of our wedding. This was the first time we had gotten to watch it and I had forgotten how much I loved our wedding. To my surprise, she also taped some of the reception so we got to watch the first dance and there were some priceless moments of our grandmothers dancing. I am so glad to have all that on video so I will never forget those moments!

So in honor of our anniversary, here are 10 reasons why I love my sweet husband (in no particular order):

1. He does the dishes AND the laundry: 2 chores I hate! Who am I kidding? He probably cleans the house more than me!

2. He lets me hog the covers at night and warms my cold toes

3. He keeps me grounded. When I tend to get all dramatic and emotional, he keeps me in check

4. He makes me stop to appreciate the small things in life

5. He is very passionate. Even though the love for golf, all things football, and hunting tend to really get on my nerves sometimes, I know that those things make him really happy

6. He includes me in whatever he's doing. Whether he is going to the golf course or out to the land to piddle, he always asks me to come. He likes teaching me about his hobbies and how things work. This makes me feel special

7. He can build or fix anything. If he doesn't know how to do it, he will figure it out.

8. He is such a hard worker. I am so proud of the business that he has built. He is not afraid to go for what he wants and will work his butt off to make it happen

9. He always shares his food with me. Even if it is his last bite, he will let me have it

10. He is going to be the best daddy! He has become so protective of the belly. I catch him just staring at it and smiling. It's the cutest.

Here's to another year! Can't wait to see what God has in store for us this next year as we become Dahl:Party of 3!
