To me, Valentine's Day is kinda silly, because we should always let our loved ones know how much we love them. But I buy into the whole propaganda, the heart-shaped boxes of chocolate, the boxer shorts with big red lips all over them, the box of Red Hots or that heart-shaped candy that tastes like chalk and has silly messages all over them. [Okay, maybe not the boxer shorts...my hubby would absolutely NOT wear those!] But I do like the flowers and the candy!So, last night, he wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day since he would be at church tonight. He surprised me with two dozen roses and had plans for us to go out to a nice dinner, but mother nature had another idea! We were under a Tornado Warning for 2 hours with the most outrageous hail storm either of us had ever seen! A little after 8:00 p.m., we were finally able to go out to dinner, but were so tired when we got home, we decided to exchange gifts tonight when he gets home.
In honor of Valentine's Day, I wanted to write a "Top 10" list for my hubby, and this is certainly not an exhaustive list by any means. But here are just a few of the many reasons I love my hubby...
Top 10 reasons I love my husband...
10. He helps out around the house with everything
9. He loves Christmas as much as I do
8. He looks hot playing the drums
7. He can never tell jokes right
6. He laughs at the same jokes over-and-over...no matter how many times he hears them--and I mean, side-splitting, doubled over, hand slapping leg kind of laughing too!
5. He blushes easily
4. He leads me to believe I'm funny
3. He is an awesome father to Zack
2. He is a passionate, committed man to God and his family
And the number one reason I love him so much is...
1. Because he is the most selfless, loving man who is my very best friend. He "grounds" me and shows me the world through a different set of eyes that aren't so cynical. He loves me without condition and always makes me laugh. He is my provider and protector. I never knew I could experience such joy and happiness, but he has brought that to my life.
Okay, so that was a bunch of reasons all piled into number 1, but you get the idea!
I love you hon!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Your Schweetie
7 sweet friends had to say...:
Wow! What a wonderful Valentine message. Hope your hubby read this!
Wow! I sound like a really great husband. The only part that's really true is the "hot drummer" part. Seriously, hon, thank you for the most wonderful Valentine I've ever received.
What a wonderful Valentine message! BUT, I think I missed something. I thought your husband was a minister. You say he is a hot drummer. (Maybe he is both?)
Straighten me out. I'm new, you know.
Which ever what, he sounds like a wonderful Valentine.
He's multi-talented! He's been in the ministry for almost 24 years as a Minister of Music and/or Orchestra Director. Currently, he is serving our church as Orchestra Director and Interim Min. of Music and he teaches music/chorus and Bible at the Christian Academy associated with our church. When we have a full time Min. of Music, my husband remains the Orchestra Director and also plays the drums on Sundays (which I think is so hot!). He also plays cello and is a member of the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra. The man has many talents!
Wow, he sounds so professional, I feel intimidated!! Not really. I feel quite fulfilled at the little church and little school where God has placed me.
That WAS a lovely tribute to your husband. I'm going to have to do a belated Valentines blog about mine so he doesn't feel left out (he reads all the blogs I have bookmarked!) It was Valentines Day and I was making a big deal about donuts instead of him. Tsk, tsk!
Ah, that's a sweet tribute to your husband. Did you sit him down and make him read the whole thing?
Sounds like you lead a music-filled life. How wonderful!
Hey, just checking in on you. Hope everything's fine in Mongomery, AL. You didn't get blown away by a tornado did you?!!
