32 reasons I love him on his 32nd birthday.

1. Because he's the father of my children - and a very good one at that.
2. He's a person who teeters perfectly at the edge of man and boy. Mostly man but just enough boy to keep him fun.
3. He is so predictable, yet he doesn't see it in himself. I can usually tell him what he's gonna do before he does it. Or he'll begin to ask me a question and before he can even utter three words, I know he's lost his keys again.
4. I love him because of the way he smells. He has a smell all his own.
5. He wants to stay young, even though he mostly acts like a fuddy-duddy. :)
6. He loves his family. Immediate and extended. He makes it a priority to keep in touch with them.
7. He likes Japanimation. That is just too funny and lovable not to mention.
8. He gets his hair cut long before he needs a haircut. He thinks it looks like a Brillo pad if it gets "too long."
9. There's a definite bounce in his walk on his days off. That bounce is one of the reasons I fell in love with him.
10. He is addicted to paper towels. Paper towels are like duct tape to him - so multi-purpose. It just honestly cracks me up, so I love it!
11. He makes me laugh.
12. Watching him with his kids and seeing the way he loves them whole-heartedly makes me love him more.
13. I can be myself when I am with him.
14. He never gives up on us.
15. His soft voice. It's so pretty.
16. I love the slant of his eyes.
17. Even when I am literally out of my mind, I don't scare him off - he accepts me.
18. He calls me his little chigger, because I apparently "live" under his skin... ;)
19. Every time he takes a drink, he involuntarily growls afterward as if to say, "That hit the spot!"
20. He's easy on the eyes.
21. He calls me from work just to say, "I love you."
22. He keeps secrets.
23. He loves my family. Honestly.
24. I love it that I can have intellectual conversations with him.
25. I love it that he's an avid reader - except at bedtime when I'm trying to sleep and his lamp is too bright...
26. He makes me want to be better.
27. I think I make him want to be better.
28. We can shout at the top of our lungs together during Cowboy games. It's awesome.
29. He laughs at my really unfunny jokes. Some of them are pretty funny though.
30. He's ticklish. I love to tickle.
31. He takes longer to get ready than I do, no matter what he tells you, he really does take a long time. Every woman should be so lucky to have those bragging rights.
32. If I ask him whether my butt looks big in something, (hold the chuckles - it's a question of relativity. I realize that there is not any possible way that my bootie looks small ever. The implied question is, "Does my butt look bigger than normal in this?") he answers honestly and always has.

I thought it would be hard to find 32 things to love about him. It wasn't. At the end of my list, I still wanted to add a few.

What a great man!

Have a Happy Brithday!
