Reason 15 - She's Anxious To See Me

I can't wait to see you!  I miss you and can't wait to be with you again.  I'll be home soon... so put your dancing shoes on.  I love you!

Reason 14 - She Likes To Hike

I was so impressed at how much you liked the hiking boots I gave you when we were dating.  I still love your sense of adventure and outdoor daring.  I love you!

Reason 13 - She Has Beautiful Brown Eyes

I love the shape and color of your eyes. I love the way they laugh and smile. I love they way that they tell me you love me. You're the best! I love you.

Reason 12 - She Loves To Read

You are definitely the one who has helped start a love of reading in our kids.  I know I read more because of you too.  Thanks.  I love you and your growing library.

Reason 11 - She's Got Great Legs

What?  You're hot stuff!  I love you and will miss you.

Reason 10 - She Encourages Me To Get Out

Thanks for pushing me out the door sometimes to do good things for myself.  Thanks for encouraging me to go hunting and to do other manly men or saw sharpening activities.  I love you!

Reason 9 - She Is Amazing Just The Way She Is

I was going to have this song playing on this blog, but I know you don't like music on blogs.  :)  Anyways, I think this song describes it well: The Way You Are
I love you!

Reason 8 - She Takes Care of Me

Thanks for letting me sleep in this morning on my day off even after I offered to let you sleep in.  Thanks for saving meals for me when it's  almost gone.  Thanks for caring that I'm happy.  I love you!

Reason 7 - She Lives Music

When we first met in choir I had never thought of life as a musical where spontaneous music could erupt at the slightest provocation.  I think your love of music is another gift that helps to bond our family closer together.  It helps our family in communication, learning, mood changing, self confidence, entertainment, and family closeness.  Thanks for keeping it up.  Who needs to dream when there is you?

Reason 6 - She Likes To Travel

You had just returned from study abroad in Europe when we first met.  I remember thinking, "Ooooo... a girl of culture and mystery."  I've learned a lot more about the world now and and have traveled many places I wouldn't have without you in my life.  Thanks for bringing that to me.  I love you!

Reason 5 - She's A Natural Beauty

I've always liked that you are beautiful with or without make up.  This was one of the first things that attracted me to you.  I like that you are kind of a Nature/Earthy girl all around, but not extreme... just right.  I love you!

Reason 4 - She Makes Breakfast

I appreciate that you make hot breakfasts for us.  I know you don't feel like doing it every morning and some mornings it is not possible.  But you see great value in serving your family this way and you prioritize it as such.  Thanks for helping to bring us all closer together.  I love you.

Reason 3 - She Like Beautiful Things

There is something to be said about a woman's touch. I'm happy that you are a girl and likes pretty things. I would not go out of my way to put beautiful things around the house, but I'm glad you do. I like that you plants flowers, aquire pretty table clothes, want color and pictures on the walls, and get excited when blossoms to come out. I like the feeling of home you make. I love you Christi.

Reason 2 - She Makes Me a Better Person

Christi has always made me a better person than who I'd be without her.  I think that a majority of the good things I've done have been because of her her influence, example, or just wanting to be the man she deserves.  Thanks for being here and being you Christi.  I love you.

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
