Many years ago I saw a post on LJ that suggested an interesting tradition for anniversaries: For each year that you are married, post one thing that you love about your spouse. This year marks year \u2116 27:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I love that she keeps her head in a crisis.<\/li>\n
  2. I love that she knows how to calm me down when I start panicking.<\/li>\n
  3. I love that she helps me think logically when dealing with big ticket items or expenses.<\/li>\n
  4. I love that she knows how to think through situations logically.<\/li>\n
  5. I love that she is a very loyal friend, going out of her way to help others.<\/li>\n
  6. I love that she is able to express herself very well, and convey information the information to others in ways they can understand.<\/li>\n
  7. I love that she is a very good cook, coming up with creative gluten-free dishes.<\/li>\n
  8. I love that she is willing to put away the laundry.<\/li>\n
  9. I love that she pulls off very nice parties.<\/li>\n
  10. I love that she has a good decorating sense.<\/li>\n
  11. I love that she cleans up nicely \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  12. I love that she puts up with my disappearing off to Boardgame days and my working on the highway pages.<\/li>\n
  13. I love the needlecrafting and fabric arts that she does (that is, the results–I’m less enthralled with the stash).<\/li>\n
  14. I love that she knows how to deal with our daughter when I’m getting frustrated.<\/li>\n
  15. I love that she was active in our daughter’s school life.<\/li>\n
  16. I love that she is willing to deal with family situations I don’t want to deal with.<\/li>\n
  17. I love that she is willing to deal with contractors and repair critters.<\/li>\n
  18. I love that she doesn’t spend too much on quilting and fabric supplies :-).<\/li>\n
  19. I love that she has similar tastes in friends to me.<\/li>\n
  20. I love that she enjoys going to the theatre with me.<\/li>\n
  21. I love that she understands that I’m not romantically inclined.<\/li>\n
  22. I love that she puts up me when I\u2019m dealing with my headaches.<\/li>\n
  23. I love her compatible music tastes.<\/li>\n
  24. I love that she’ll take my car in to get serviced, as opposed to saying “It’s your problem. Deal.”<\/li>\n
  25. I love that she and I can have wonderfully intelligent conversations.<\/li>\n
  26. I love her creativity.<\/li>\n
  27. I love how she has helped raise our daughter into a bright, capable young woman.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course, this list doesn’t include the things I love about her that I can’t post publicly :-). Maybe next year. You’ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
