My Valentine

I am so lucky to be married to the greatest guy in the whole world...and I don't tell him that near enough. He is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me and here is a list of reasons why I love him so much:

• a fantastic dad to Nora-he loves that little girl so much
• he drives an OLD beat up truck that does not have heat or air and lets me drive a car that has both. And he NEVER complains.
• he works hard everyday so that I can stay home with Nora and not have a full-time job
• he makes me laugh...really laugh. He does things on purpose just to see me smile.
• he knows when I am having a bad day and knows when to stay out of my way :)
• he does the dishes
• he is in charge of Nora's bath each night so I can have a few minutes to myself
• he always tells me I'm beautiful, and he really, really means it...even when I know that I have looked better
• he thought that I was beautiful even when I was 9 months pregnant, snoring at night, and tossing and turning so much that he couldn't sleep
• he gets up with Nora sometimes at night
• he loves us and would rather spend time with us than doing anything else
• he loves God and truly wants to serve Him
• he is concerned about being a better Christian and a better servant
• he can build things
• he is really smart (really! he knows all types of math things that I have never even heard of)
• he takes care of Nora on Monday and Tuesday nights
• when we have conversations on how we need to improve things in our marriage, he listens and starts improving
• he loves me for me
• he is gentle about correcting me or helping me improve myself
• he makes me want to be a better wife
• even though he doesn't really like "ER", he knows that I do and he watches it with me
• when he folds clothes, he puts them in so many piles...it's cute
• he is an athlete (there is a 50% chance that our kids will be athletic)

I could write way more than this, but then I would just be bragging. I am so thankful that God led us on a journey that ended up in marriage. Fourteen years ago, I never would have guessed that Matthew David Henderson would be my husband, I am so glad that God knew what I was too blind to see.
