My 5 year wedding anniversary is tomorrow. I have been trying to think of how to celebrate the special occasion. What should I get him for a gift? What can we do for a special date? I have such an amazing husband I just really wanted to find a way to make this date special. And, considering that we both forgot our anniversary last year I felt some pressure.
I did research online and the tradition is to go on a vacation or to give a gift of wood. Well, vacation is not going to happen and that leaves wood. I can’t say what I decided on because Brent will read this, but I thought I would also honor him by dedicating this post to appreciating him. So, without further ado, here is why I love my husband.
1. He is really one of the nicest people in the world. I honestly would be shocked if I heard that someone did NOT like him. Plenty of people don’t like me, but Brent is different. He is just kind. Even dogs and babies love him.
2. He is a great father. He is engaged and capable. He is always there for his kids. He is silly, and stern, and loving, and supportive.
3. He gives me lingering kisses in the morning. I have to say that even when I am in a hurry and pushing him away, I love this time. It is a good reminder, before I start my day, that I am loved.
4. He can always get the baby to fall asleep. 2 minutes on daddy’s chest- snoozeville.
5. He thinks I am funny. I could not be happy with someone who didn’t laugh at my jokes. Maybe sometimes he is laughing AT me, but that’s okay too.
6. He never minds. What I mean by that is he is so laid back that nothing ever gets him worked up. You’re going to be 15 min late? I don’t mind. You’re going out with friends tonight? I don’t mind. I’m on my own for dinner? I don’t mind. (But, he does mind if you don’t use a turn signal. Look out!)
7. He’s a guy’s guy, but girls love him too. He can talk sports all night, but could also communicate with my friends. Some “Bro’s” come off as meat heads, but Brent can get along with anyone.
8. He treats me as an equal partner. He doesn’t think his job, time, wants/needs are more important than mine. We are in this together.
9. He tells me he loves me everyday. He says things all the time that let me know how he feels. He’ll say something like, “I’m glad we are married” out of nowhere and it makes me smile.
10. He ignores me all the time. I love and hate this one, but when I tell him to stop tickling Will because it’s bed time- he ignores me. When I tell him to stop throwing Ellis up in the air- he ignores me.
Oh, and just one more..
11. He does the dishes! (He is doing them right now)
Wouldn’t it be cool if those of you who know Brent chimed in? Why do you love Brent? Comment below.
Oh, and I forgot. He’s super sexy too!
And, he always gets me water when I forget to bring a glass up at night.
Lol! Ryan totally does this for me too! I forget all the time!
Brent is my baby and is all that you say he is. He is the only boy child out of all his friends that would come up to me, when he was playing with friends, and tell me he loved me and give me a kiss in front of everyone. No other child that I knew would do that. He is so loving.
I am blessed to have this child; and I am blessed that he has married the wonderful and loving woman that he has. Happy 5th Anniversary!!! I love you!!!
I might be a little biased but I know that Brent is one of the greatest people I know! He truly is a someone you can always trust and rely on!!!
I love Brent because he makes me feel safe and I know I could count on him to help me if I needed anything. I love him because I can see how much he loves his wife and children. My grandchildren are so important to me. I love how their faces light up when he comes to pick them up from Nana’s house. Plus he makes it obvious that he loves the extended family. Brent always makes the time to talk to us even if he is in a hurry to get some place. I am so happy he is my son-in-law. I told him I wanted him to be my son-in-law before there was even talkk about marriage and if i remember correctly, Candy! You got mad at me!
I got mad at you because it was the first time you met him! Nice to meet you Brent, I hope you marry my daughter. Yikes
5 years ago tomorrow I made the easiest decision of my life. I said yes to my beautiful/smart/silly/talented wife. This decision has made me happier and happier every day for five years. Two wonderful children later, our family relies on her in ways she probably doesn’t even realize. I have many memories from before I met her, but cannot imagine a single thing worth remembering without her being a part of it. I love you Candy. Happy anniversary!!! (That was my husbands post after reading this blog. I wanted to put it here so I can look back and see it whenever I want and have it forever. Best husband on the planet)
I love brent for his lingering kisses too! Thanks for the fantasy football material.
Whatever! I could tell you that Brent built a rocket and you’d find a way to make fun of it. I’m not letting you idiots get to me anymore.
