100 Days of Marriage, 100 Things I Love About My Husband

Today marks Casey and I's entrance into triple-digit days of marriage!  To celebrate the occasion and also do something nice for my husband, I made him a list of 100 things I love about him.

1. I LOVE that he loves the Lord!  
2. He puts a :( on his calendar at work when it's that "time of the month" (Definitely a long week for both of us!)
3. Knows so much about cars, because we will say my knowledge is VERY limited and that is being VERY generous!
4. He makes me laugh!
5. His smile!
6. He cooks dinner pretty often, always a nice treat to see when I walk into our house!
7. He still asks me on dates!
8. He's a fantastic husband!
9. He's a wonderful son, brother, brother-in-law, son-in-law, friend, etc.  It warms my heart to see him care so much about others!
10. He kills bugs!
11. The look on his face when I am more sensitive than usual and start crying for no reason.  The look on his face when this happened the first time was absolutely priceless!!  
12. We read the Bible and pray together every night before we go to bed!  His prayers are very thoughtful and genuine, and how can you not LOVE hearing someone read you God's word?
13. He is very handy!  This boy knows how to build things, drill holes in walls and connects wires so your television can be mounted, and so on!  A huge plus when you have a home of your own!
14. That he knows I must be fed before we start any long road trips, because a hungry wife is a cranky wife!
15. He will take time off from work and then spend 20 hours in a car in one weekend to go to a friend's wedding.
16. He doesn't mind that I talk so long at church.   I have been educated on how to turn out the lights, and usually am the last if not close to the last person to leave.  He told me if I were an Olympian, I would be in the sport of "gab-nastics" and would win the gold easily!
17. He takes care of the lawn! I despise mowing the grass and my brief stint at doing to make some extra money as a child did not result in a very pretty yard by any means!  Even when he has worked hard all day, he will take care of our grass!
18. He remembers anniversaries and my monthly birthdays!
19. He gives excellent massages!
20. He gets me flowers for no reason sometimes other than to say I'm an awesome wife!
21. He is so involved at church from saying prayers or reading Scriptures in Bible class or worship to helping do the podcasts each Sunday at church!  Such a servant's heart! LOVE it!
22. His heart!
23. He tries his hardest to make me happy!
24. He loves ME so much even when I drive him crazy!
25. He works hard at a job that's not the best, but continues to go every weekday and some Saturday's (Ugh!) because he's trying to be a good provider.
26. He's my best friend!
27. He ALWAYS prays before his meals!
28. He LOVES giving!  Whether it's a donation to a charity or buying school supplies for a child at a children's home, he ALWAYS wants to help in some way.
29. He holds me accountable and isn't afraid to stand up to me when I'm wrong!  I don't usually like it, but I do need it!

31. He will watch some of my girly TV shows with me!  Not too much, but some is better than none!
