August 1, 1987; it was hot. Yet the photographer couldn't think of a little pressed powder?
In honor of 21 years of marriage, I thought I'd give Mr. Fix-it (and you) my list of 21 things I love about him.
1. Sense of humor
2. Willingness to take all early morning game carpools
3. Good looking
4. Smells great (Givenchy . . . yum!)
5. Ability to handle our finances really well
6. I've never had to ask for support in tough times; it was always there
7. Choosing family over work time and time again
8. Being non-competitive (I totally need the balance!)
9. Ability and willingness to do any household chore including, but not limited to: laundry, vacuuming, and steam cleaning carpets. Cooking? Not so much.
10. Can fix anything
11. Thinks any way I decorate is great
12. Accepts my crazy family
13. Even though you're an introvert you let me fill the house with all kinds of people
14. Loves whatever I cook (or don't cook if it's one of those nights)
15. Best cannonball in the world
16. Terrific father
17. Best gift-giver evah!
18. Always stops to help women with car trouble. "I'd want a man like me to stop if it was my wife or daughter stranded."
19. You're always willing to be my designated driver
20. Phenomenal taste in women's jewelry
21. Truly my life partner; we've never had a moment's doubt
In other news . . .
I'll be leaving bright and early for vacay. I have posts written and fingers are crossed for WiFi, but visiting will probably be limited. I'll see ya' when I see ya'!
P.S. #22--He will have driven the entire way from San Diego to Mammoth while I studied for the RICA. Thanks Hon.
Happy Anniversary you two lovebirds!

Happy Anniversary, jenn. And have a lovely summer too.
It's funny cos I was just saying to someone today that if I had stayed married it would be my 21st wedding anniversary soon. Funny thought. Glad you stayed together anyway - I shall have a drink to you this evening (I know - any excuse!!! But it is a good one this time!)

If something happens to you on vacation, like you fall into the open mouth of a whale or run away with Brad Pitt, I call dibs on the husband.
