I am not one to publicly announce my personal feelings let alone the love I have for my beau. But since his birthday was this last week, and I saw the cute post my cousin did about her hubby, I thought of the appreciation I have for my own.

And thought I would blog about it.

If I were to mention all the things I love about him it would take to long and I'm sure it would bore some of you. Therefore I will only stick to the ones that stand out to me the most.

He treats me right, meaning he puts me first and is almost always the one to give in. If it means my happiness, he is willing to do it. If it means him apologizing even if he wasn't in the wrong and it was just my stubbornness, he is willing. He has always opened my door now and when we were dating (two years in all). While I was working he made lunches and breakfast for me before I went to work. Even dinners sometimes, which by the way he is a good cook. Most of all, he makes sure I know he loves me through his actions as well as his words.
His creative, kid-like, crazy mind! I was lucky to have such dates that took such creativity and planning. Or at least someone who was willing to win me over pretending to be creative...ha ha. Nonetheless, they were always fun.

Even now he is willing to prove to me life can still be fun even if you are married, and so far he has made married life fun. He isn't afraid to be himself around anyone! Sometimes I tell him how childish it is, but that's who he is and darn-it- baby I'll take it, don't stop. That just means you'll be fun with our future kids.

When I saw this I thought it was quite hilarious, I hope this doesn't offend anyone!

She can spit over 5 feet and kick Mullet-Haired Ken's butt when she is drunk. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free.



"Vernal Barbie'
This tobacco-chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased Beer-Gutted Ken out of Spanish Fork Barbie's house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, and a see-through halter-top. Also available with a mobile home.



' Moab Barbie'
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, arch-less feet, hairy armpits, no makeup and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her Willow . She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Moab Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag bumper sticker for free.




' West Valley Barbie'
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and 2 infant dolls. Optional accessories include a GED and bus pass. White boy Gangsta Ken and his 1979 Caddy were available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.



' Provo / BYU Barbie'
She's perfect in every way, mainly due to the high levels of antidepressants in her system.. We don't know where Ken is because he's always at church meetings.
