Considering he is the only person on planet earth that I allow to call me SUSAN, I think he is worth keeping around for at least another 16 years. Maybe by then, he will stop antagonizing me, or I will wear him down...either way.
Great tribute!
What a beautiful tribute! I love that picture of the Salt Lake temple at the end. What a gorgeous picture!
This is one of the best "husband" posts I've read. He's a lucky man to have a wife who appreciates him so.
(and is that last picture in Nauvoo? We lived near there for 4+ years and it looks awfully familiar.)
I'm commenting because this deserves a comment, but I'm speechless. This was wonderful to read.
Beautiful and I loved the photos too !
That is so great! What a wonderful list! My hubby calls during sunsets too. Your Mr. B is a KEEPER!!!!!!!
this is THE most wonderful post i've read in a long time, such love!!!
That was beautiful!!
I had to come and read it again, okay for the third and fourth time...
anyway, it is so sweet, and I know every single sentence is the absolute truth and that is what makes it so appealing. Anyone can make up a love story, but to actually live one, so lucky and so deserving. I love you.
You are his Tree of Life He is your Love of God. Joyful Post!
Sounds like an amazing guy - hold on to him!
Wow! He's a keeper. And you are amazingly creative to come up with that many reasons! This takes 'count your blessings' to a whole new level.
