Reason # 6 that I love my husband: He is our son's Cub Scout Cub Master . We women do like a man in uniform! :) ~Paige

Reason # 7 that I love my husband: He knows almost everything there is to know about computers and he teaches me things about them. ~Paige

Reason #8 that I love my husband: He brings me chocolate and Sun Drops! ~Paige

Reason #9 that I love my husband: He can handle things. You know most guys can't handle all the "mom" stuff that we do. I work weekend nights and hubs has the kids all by himself. He's doing a fabulous job! In fact, this weekend he will be taking Big Red to two birthday parties and take care of a sick newborn. Fatherhood looks really good on him and there is no one I trust more with my babies than their wonderful daddy. ~Paige

Reason #10 that I love my husband: He is my hero. Like today when our neighbor's house was broken into and the police were searching our yard for evidence and such. The hubs came home because I was worried and afraid. Felt so much safer the moment he walked in the door. ~Paige

Reason #11 that I love my husband: He cleans things when he thinks I am mad at him. It never fails. If he thinks I am mad/upset at him, he will start cleaning. It's actually kind of funny because the kitchen gets really clean! Sometimes I wish he'd just ask me what's wrong, but hey, a woman can't complain when her husband starts cleaning! :) ~Paige

Reason #12 that I love my husband: He gave me a Bible. It wasn't my first Bible, but it's the most special one I've ever had. When we were dating I mentioned that I wanted a specific Bible and I'd like to have my name embossed on it. So for Christmas the year before we were married he gave me this very Bible. We had talked about it so briefly that I had no idea he'd even noted the details. The Bible had my soon to be married name embossed on it and this was written on the inside cover: "God has blessed me so much in my life; with fun and excitement, joy and happiness, peace and love. Never in my wildest dreams could I ever be able to comprehend all those things rolled up so perfectly; but I don't have to dream because you're right here. The love of my life, my best friend, my wife. I love you so much, Paige, and as long as this book is the center of our relationship, that love can never fade and will only grow stronger. Merry Christmas... Cole

Reason #13 that I love my husband: He always listens. And I talk a lot. And have given birth to at least one child who talks a lot. (The other one can't talk yet). So we are talking a lot of listening. I'm convinced that he starts to tune me out at some point, but he always knows what I've said. ~Paige

Reason #14 that I love my husband: He's the only other person in the world who knows I have a freckle on my left eyelid. And he thinks it's cute. ~Paige

Reason #15 that I love my husband: He tells me everything will be ok and I believe him. Like when our apartment building was destroyed in a fire when our son was 3 months old. I didn't know where we would go or what we would do. We were so young and didn't live near family and my husband was still in college. But he said it would be ok, and God showed up. And when our son was diagnosed with diabetes. And when I was put on bed rest at 30 weeks with my second pregnancy and then our daughter came early and had to be in the NICU for over a week. But through it all he assured me that everything would be ok. And it has been. ~Paige

I have missed several days, so I am going to post a few reasons today to catch up! Reason #16 that I love my husband: He believes in me. So many times I second guess myself about everything. I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist. I want people to like me. I want to do everything I do right and good. I have struggled with this for a long time, and I am always my own worst critic. But my sweet husband always encourages me and tells me how much he believes in me. Just knowing that he does means so much. ~Paige

Reason #17 that I love my husband: When I met him, I felt like I was finally home. Please forgive a day or two between posts. I am trying to post everyday, but having a new baby doesn't allow me to do everything I want these days. I have recently run across this song by Lady Antebellum and think it sums up what I would say in this post. ~Paige I Just Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Lady Antebellum I know that the bridges that I've burned along the way Have left me with these walls and these scars that won't go away And opening up has always been the hardest thing Until you came So lay here beside me, just hold me and don't let go This feeling I'm feeling is something I've never known And I just can't take my eyes off you And I just can't take my eyes off you I love when you tell me that I'm pretty when I just wake up And I love how you tease me when I'm moody, but it's never too much. I'm falling fast, but the truth is I'
