this is why i love.

i am shy. i am reserved. i do not speak out. i do not like to feel exposed. i am the wallflower that shies away in the corner. but the moment i saw him i emergedl. five years and two boys later i can still remember the butterflies, i can still remember the spark. i chased him. then i chased him some more. and then i caught him. he was my challenge; a challenge i would see through to the end. he is perfect. no not perfect but perfect for me. time has created blinders. i don't always remember the the butterflies flitting around. i don't always feel the ache in my heart when he is not with me. but i need to. i need to remember why i feel in love. we have had our hights + lows but never once has he quit on me. this is why i love this man.

01. he is genuinely happy + optimistic. i don't get it but i like it.
02. he loves to dance and twirl me around.
03. he drives a motorcycle (yes i know dangerous but secretly sexy).
04. he changes diapers.
05. he is a big kid at heart.
06. i have never met another person who works as hard as he does.
07. he teases me.
08. i can snuggle up to him and he will almost always start rubbing my back.
09. he has a million goals and dreams and i know he will achieve them all.
10. he likes country music.
11. he sporadicly leaves me little notes here and there with the nuttiest sayings.
12. he lets me show my emotion.
13. always the one improving + bettering himself.
14. loves our boys.
15. loves me for me.

no we don't have the perfect marriage nor do we have the perfect life. but every once in a while it's nice to remember why you love that someone in your life, even when they drive you crazy and leave their dirty socks on the floor.

love you matt!
xo.
