Because you introduced me to Coca Cola. Hecho en Mexico.

Reason #100

BSG date nights.

Reason #99

Fortune Cookie: Stop searching forever, happiness is just next to you.

Reason #98

Christmas Day water balloon launching.

Reason #97

For participating in the Christmas Eve (wrapping) paper fight.

Reason #96

He loves my Dad's homemade beef jerky.

Reason #95

The 'word ban' list, which I probably really need.

Reason #94

A snowy, icy morning before the sun was awake, you drove me to work then waited to see if I would need a ride home. My ride home was snowed in, so you waited the entire day and drove me home.


Thank you, again!

Reason #93

He wants to build me a hobbit hole. Okay, not really, it is actually an earth sheltered home. So, in a way, it will look like a hobbit hole.

Reason #92

Talks in the middle of the night...

Reason #91

He goes to work even when it is extremely cold! (Works outside)

Reason #90

He learns from his mistakes.

Reason #89

The first time he came to visit me, he made me an omelet. It was large enough for a family of four, and delicious! It was the first meal a man who wasn't family had ever made for me, all by himself, from scratch, beginning to end (clean up).

Reason #88

Because he isn't perfect.

Friends Award

I know I only post "Reasons" but today I had to do an extra post.

Our little blog received an award! I'm so excited about it!!! It is a "Friends Award". Here are the details:

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbon of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight more and include this cleverly written text in the body of your awards.

My friend Marilyn from The Stair Landing sent it to us. I was so surprised and just plain giddy over it. I am proud to pass it on. Here are the eight bloggers that I am honored to present this award to:

Dana at All about my Benjamin
Angie at Bring the Rain
Kelly at Kelly's Corner
Naomi at the rockstar diaries
Amy at Days of the Turney5
Louise at local(abama)
Amber at Crazy Bloggin' Canuck
Donnetta at My Quiet Corner

I hope that you enjoy their blogs!

Reason #83

He's a good chess player.

My Claddagh

Hand blown glass perfume bottle -- he picks out the nicest gifts.
