Reason 1 - She's My Best Friend

Christi,

I've been thinking about how to write this for a few weeks now. I don't tell you often enough why I love you and what an AWESOME person you are. I started a list of the reasons I love you and started putting dates next to them. I figured I could have all the posts typed out and ready to automatically post on autodrive for a year or couple of months in advance. Then I realized that this is for me too. If I had them all typed out in advance, then it wouldn't give me one more opportunity each day to think about what a great wife and friend I have. So, I still have my list, but I'm going to type one out each day for us. Except for emergencies such as no internet while hunting... then I might put a couple of days in the queue. So you still get a reminder every day that I love you and you are great!

Reason #1 for why I love Christi - You are my best friend. You know me better than anyone else in this world. I'm so happy you picked me. I'm even happier that you still love and care for me after you've known me for 18 years. Thanks for being my best and truest friend. For sticking with me through the thick and the thin of it all. Thanks for watching my back and being a friend that I can always rely on. You are a true friend. You are my best friend. I love you!

Love always,
Jeff
