<\/p>\nIt’s my 12th wedding anniversary today (yes, I was a child bride) so I thought I’d list 12 things that I love about my husband Jon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(And for those who are wondering, the height difference between us is 9 inches. Jon is 5’10” and I’m just a hair below 5’1″.)<\/p>\n
01.) He is a totally involved daddy and goes on Daniel’s school field trips with him.<\/p>\n
02.) He prays for me daily.<\/p>\n
03.) He knows that cleaning the bathroom is the equivalent, in my love language, of getting me a dozen long-stemmed roses. (My house panther Edda eats flowers and my love language is “acts of service”.)<\/p>\n
04.) He can (usually) make me laugh when I’m really having a hard time with life.<\/p>\n
05.) He can set the Lutheran table grace to just about anything including “Two Princes” by Spin Doctors<\/a>. (No, I am not kidding.)<\/p>\n 06.) He gets Daniel ready for school on days when I haven’t slept well.<\/p>\n 07.) He puts up with my neurotic OCD tendencies even when he is tempted to roll his eyes. (OK… he doesn’t roll them too often.)<\/p>\n 08.) He is almost always up for an adventure. So far in our marriage, we have had: one pastoral internship, five major moves, three parishes, four cats, and one incredibly cute kid.<\/p>\n 09.) He sings\/prays with Daniel at bedtime.<\/p>\n 10.) He gives me complete control over the remote control and is content to watch DVD’s and stuff on his laptop instead of the big screen TV.<\/p>\n 11.) He actually makes an effort to go visit shut-ins and parishioners in the hospital. While it might inconvenience me a little bit, it means the world to them and I’m glad he understands this.<\/p>\n 12.) He can talk about just about anything with anyone. I’ve seen him take people who are hostile to Christianity and completely disarm them. He is the reason why I can talk to anyone about faith matters.<\/p>\n Darling, I love you and I can’t wait to see what the next twelve years will be like!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s my 12th wedding anniversary today (yes, I was a child bride) so I thought I’d list 12 things that I love about my husband Jon.
