I Love Bryan


I got up at 5:00 a.m. this morning while Bryan was sleeping so I could get his snickerdoodles made and hid before he got up. I managed to get all the cookies done and hid in the cabinet before he got out of the shower and came into the kitchen. Here is the $1.00 container I suffered at Wal-mart to get last night. I loved the card I got him this year. The message fits my feelings for him
"I love being married to you

I love the boy in you—the one with the big grin and warm hugs who says and does so many things that make life a lot of fun….
But even more than that, I love the man you are—your strength, your friendship, your warmth, and all the other things that make you special. I love everything about you—and I always will."
I am so blessed to be married to Bryan. He is my best friend. I'm so glad he lets me do some of the fun things he enjoys. Like going to the gun range, walking to the deer stand in the woods, and going on hikes looking for deer tracks. I don't mind any of it. I am just thrilled to be in the same place he is. After 10 years, I love him more and more each day.
I drove to surprise him at his office around 10:00 to deliver the card and cookies. He was surprised and his face turned a little red and a little blotchy. I asked him if he shaved too close this morning because it was red. His co-worker said "I think he is blushing!" Bryan said he wasn't and he just had dry skin.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Julie, You are not going to believe this...I have that very same card for my husband. We are high school sweethearts, too. Maybe it spoke to us because we knew them as boys?
