Fourteen Reasons Why My Husband is the Best
1. He doesn’t mind watching chick flicks with me, and he even likes watching “The Notebook”.
2. He asks if there’s anything he needs to pick up on his way home from work.
3. He is ALWAYS willing to order takeout if I’ve had a bad day. Actually, he’d eat out every meal if I let him, but it is so nice knowing he’s just as happy with pizza as he is with a gourmet meal.
4. He knows how to do so much around the house. With his arthritis, there are a lot of big projects he can no longer do, but when I can’t get my garage door to go down, one phone call to David and he’s got it figured out. It’s always amazing to me how he knows how to shut off the water and replace brake lights.
5. He takes care of me when I’m sick. I used to get food poisoning all the time. (Seriously, don’t eat anything in an office kitchen. People are so nasty.) David would take off work so he could bring me Sprite and crackers.
6. He likes me better without makeup.
7. He prefers me to wear my hair in a ponytail.
8. He saw “Twilight” and “New Moon” with me. And he went out in the middle of the night to buy “Twilight” on Blu-Ray because I thought the stores would sell out quickly. They didn’t.
9. He’s so stinkin’ tall.
10. He has brown hair and a red beard.
11. Right after high school, he wanted to grow a beard. I whined and griped about how much I hated it. After a few weeks, he trimmed it to a goatee, and I love it. Now he wants to get rid of it, but I beg him not to.
12. He makes me laugh.
13. His sense of humor. He brought the best gag gift to our extended family’s gag gift exchange this year. He screwed a CPU fan into a pair of underwear. Briefs with a built in fart fan.
14. Free programming for my blog!
That’s the giant inflatable gorilla David put in front of my house on Valentine’s Day in 2003.
I love being married. Marriage is a blessing from God. However, not everyone is married, and there are some advantages to being single.
Fourteen Reasons Why It’s Great to be a Single Woman
1. You don’t have to watch Future Weapons unless you want to.
2. You don’t have to go to Circuit City or Fry’s for hours just to look around.
3. No one will steal your Diet Coke!
4. You won’t argue over Chinese or Italian for dinner.
5. You have more time to devote to missions, charity and church.
6. You don’t have to buy anyone anything for Valentine’s Day.
7. You don’t have to figure out what to buy the guy who has everything for Christmas or his birthday. (Are you sensing I have a problem with gifts for my husband?)
8. You can get a cat or a dog and give it the girlyest name ever.
9. You only have one schedule to check when you get invited to girls night or a book club.
10. No cooking or cleaning up after guys’ night.
11. Have you smelled a hairy man after he smokes a cigar?
12. The toilet seat is always down.
13. You don’t have to teach someone why wet towels do not go on the bed.
14. Your taxes are easier. You don’t have to ask “Where’s your W-2?” or “Did you enter our medical expenses in Turbo Tax?”
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love,
A Young Wife
That gorilla is SO cute!
Y’all are the cutest couple! It’s a blessed woman whose husband is also ‘handy around the house’! It’s our seventeenth anniversary today. David, he also can spend hours making sure he gets the right thing and the best thing for what is needed around home.We got some of the snow Texas and the rest of the country got recently. Snow here is a really, really big deal. We have to hurry and have fun in it because it won’t last long! Happy Valentines Day!
Great Post!!! Great blog, very cute and lots of personality! Thanks for stopping by mine. Happy Saturday sharefest!
When you have been married a little longer and even down the road possibly having children. You will understand that love is letting him go to those boring places by himself and you doing the same.
We take an interest in each other’s hobbies and passions, but sometimes enough is enough. I will support him by doing some stuff, but walking around Best Buy for hours to look at laptops and hard drives, is not my idea of fun. He hates the craft and fabric stores. So we do those things separately. 
“11. Have you smelled a hairy man after he smokes a cigar?”
I’ll take your word for it!
Great post. I literally laughed out loud a few times. It would ruin the symmetry, but I’d add a #15 to the first list.
#15. He’s an all around good dude.
