Today is our 3rd Anniversary. Its so hard to believe its been that long, but still only 3 years! There is so much to say about us, our family, our life. But I thought the best way to organize my thoughts is to make a list. So…
I made a list of reasons I heart Jamie (one for every month-iversary).
*EDIT- when i originally made this list, i did the math wrong. we’ve been married for 3 years, not 4. hey, we all know he didn’t marry me for my brains!! 
1. … well look at him.
2. he makes up silly songs
3. and he sings those songs to me
4. who that is, my baby daddy! who that is, my BABY daddy!!
5. he makes me laugh
6. he would shave his beard if I asked him too
7. he loves God more than he loves me
8. he saves me from certain death by disposing of any and all insects (especially moths!)
9. he loves my daughter
10. he took the 2am feedings when Charlotte was first born

25. he attempts to speak Spanish
26. he quite possibly owns more shoes than i do

30. he compliments me when the house is clean
31. he hates gossip
