My Valentine

Matt, I love you because...

You love Jesus.

You love me, our kids, our parents, our siblings....  you love family!

You are our family's fearless leader.

You are balanced in your approach to life.

You show respect to everyone you meet.

You are our family's provider.

You are a talented, passionate musician.

You have tea parties with Alison.

You support me being home with our kids as a full-time job.

You never criticize me when you have no clean socks.

You are always thinking and planning.

You respect your parents and mine.

You misplace things and ask me where they are.

Your cooking is better than anything I could order at a restaurant (yet, you will still eat when I cook).

You love road trips.

You can pack the car better than anyone.

You don't mind doing all the packing.

You are completely honest (even when honesty is the difficult path).

You don't have any enemies.

You will indulge me when I worry over little things.

You drive a Toyota Corolla instead of a big Dodge Ram.

You can accomplish more in one day than anyone I know.

You don't mind doing the dishes...  or the laundry...  or the vacuuming.

You like to stay up late.

You love to have friends over (and you are a great entertainer).

You are always willing to try new things (Indian curry, anyone?)

You are ever so patient with my weaknesses.

You make me a better person.

You are faithful.

You are mine.
