13 Things I Love About Being Married To My Tin Man

On our first anniversary (which is "paper"), he got me my first subscription to People Magazine.

He is so much fun-I am more of a type "A" and he brings out my inner child.

He buys me the new books by my favorite authors without me asking him to.

He did not want a dog, but got our Lucy for the kids and me anyway.

He loves Lucy and talks baby talk to her.

He cleans the bathrooms-always.

Of course you know, he cooks.

And grocery shops.

If I complain that he didn't buy things I like-he remembers the next time he goes and buys things I complained about (like Kettle Corn Popcorn that no one else here will eat).

He watches "Somewhere In Time" with me every year on our anniversary after our yearly kayaking trip down the Au Sable River.

He loves God more every year, and shows he loves me more as a result.

He is strong. So when I need a good hug or a cry-His arms make me feel so secure.

He is the best dad to our three boys. The best.

He doesn't mind if I read late into the night...as long as I scratch his back.

And I always sleep much better if he is right next to me~even in the smaller bed here at the cottage.

(After Kayaking~)

(And, Yep. That was more than 13-I just couldn't stop!)

There is something I have said before:

We certainly are not perfect people,

but we are perfect for each other.

~And that's what marriage is about.
