Little Things I Love About My Husband

In no particular order, and certainly not complete...

  1. Drakkar - he wears it so well. It makes me feel "home" just to sink my face into his chest and breathe it in.
  2. The way his hair falls over his forehead in a non-preppy, not pre-planned, just-perfect kind of way.
  3. His height. It's perfect.
  4. His love of his car - not that he loves the actual car, but the passion he has about it. That's really wonderful.
  5. His ability to cook really fucked up foods and get me to become addicted to them.
  6. The perfect way he takes his jacket off. It's a work of art.
  7. That he knows how to make me a cup of coffee for me better than I make it for myself.
  8. His incredible sense of knowing what will fit where, and whether or not it will look right.
  9. How strong he is.
  10. His thighs and his butt...(thank you all those years of skiing.)
  11. Patience. His incredible amount of patience for so many things - big and small.
  12. How he talks faster and his eyes get brighter when he talks about something he's excited about. (I'll use F5 as an example here.)
  13. How fast, and accurately, he types.
  14. His extreme intelligence. I've never met anyone smarter than him.
  15. His love and allegiance towards a few select books he's read and really enjoyed. Years later and he can quote them. I love that.
  16. A memory unlike anything I've ever encountered.
  17. (shhh...he's a great kisser!)
  18. I hate to admit this, but I love how knowledgeable he is about wine. It's downright sexy.
  19. That he loves how quirky I am. At least I think he does. Pink hair? He encouraged that.
  20. That he has no idea how charming he is.
  21. I love that he likes cats a lot. And I love how much thought he puts into naming them.
  22. That he never drinks out of the carton/bottle/container - that I see.
  23. His complete confidence behind the wheel of a car, and for avoiding a few really bad accidents because he never stops being aware of what others around him are doing.
  24. How much he loves this one certain old pair of boots.
  25. How safe I feel when I'm with him in any circumstance or situation. Even if I'm panicking - it would be ten times worse if he wasn't there. If we're on the ferry and it was sinking I truly believe he'd figure out how to keep us all alive. If any of us were being harrassed, I know he'd protect us.
  26. That he always thanks me for doing little things that nobody has ever thanked me for before.
  27. How he sings.
  28. How he found me right near his lucky number - and that he found me at all.
  29. That he wants to learn how to play golf some day.
  30. His Homer Simpson slippers. How cool are they?

Again - this is a partial list. I'm exhausted -- if I wasn't I'd write much more. And please note that this list does not contain the BIG things...like how much he loves me and the kids. I just think he's pretty damn wonderful all-around.
