little things #91-105 that I love about you

kelly  |  1 June 2009 - 5:22pm

91. When I call your cell and you answer with "Hey darlin'."

92. The unwitting things you do that crack up my brother. Yes, we are totally laughing at you.

93. That you loved the snorkeling as much as I did.

94. Your sense of humor. Is it possible I haven't mentioned this in previous lists? It's what drew me to you in the first place.

95. How cute your big toes are. I know it sounds strange but I love them.

96. That you understand how stuff (the car, the computer, the universe) works.

97. Your laugh.

98. That when your work buddies are going out to lunch, you'll call and invite me along.

99. How you care so gently for things you've planted and get so excited to see them grow.

100. That you planted mint so I can make my mojitos.

101. The preferential way you treat Maylee. She totally has you wrapped around her little paw.

102. That you making red velvet cupcakes = bloody murder scene all over the kitchen floor.

103. When you say, "What are you doing tonight? I wanna take you out to dinner."

104. That your best example of insubordinate behavior is when you skipped a question on a form at the doctor's office, just because. And, even more, that you related this story so proudly. You rebel.

105. Your playfulness. I love being silly with you.

Seven years. We've now been married for as long as we dated. Back then we were just kids and I used to long for the days when we'd have a grown-up life together, when we'd wake up together and drive places together from our own house and share the ordinary, everyday stuff as a married couple. And now we have that, and I don't take it for granted. Well, of course I do sometimes. But there are plenty of times, like when we're driving to the grocery store or we're at a family picnic, that I smile to myself and think, "This is what I always wanted." And it is still what I want, more than anything.

You are both my greatest friend and my most cherished family. Happy anniversary, Rob.

I didn't cry one single tear, except for a few.

I met these two. And they let me drive them half a block in my rental with my black-hole purse...and they had dinner with me! And the cuteness and secret smiles (I actually asked Rob if he was good at Suduko puzzles...snork!...Kelly kinda was like, uh, YEA!).

Reading this, I remembered that I wanted to tell you that every time I return a cart at the grocery, I think of Rob pulling up, if only a few inches, to retrieve you. I don't return a lot of carts to their proper place, but when I do, y'all always come to mind.

Love how y'all love each other. Happy 7th.

Awwww...Happy anniversary to both of you!

Congratulations.

I am glad to see your anniversary post. It always reminds me that mine is coming up. It also reminds me of how many years I have been married.

Happy Anniversary! Wishing you another year of love, happiness and good times!

Happy Anniversary! They say 7 years is the '7 year itch' but i did not find this to be true. More like a pleasant goosebump. :)

I love your lists. They always make me smile. I totally copied you once and gave Alex a list for one of our anniversaries, and it was such fun to think of 100 random things I love about him. I think it even made me love him a little more to see all those random things together on one list.

Happy anniversary to you and your sweetheart!!!!!!!!

Thanks, everyone!

#104 was the single funniest moment of 2009 to date. Cracked me up all over again reading that.

Happy Anniversary!
