5th Anniversary

WE HAVE MADE IT!!! FIVE YEARS!!! On July 20th, 2002 - Brandon made me the happiest person on earth. I can't believe that we have made it five years now as a happily married couple. I can't believe how much we have changed over the past five years and even just the past couple months. Life does come at you fast! I am going to list 20 things that I love and have learned about Brandon over the past five years. (p.s. Thanks Mom & Dad for the card!) Here we go...

1. His smile, that was the first thing that attracted me to him. He just has this wonderful smile and perfect teeth, I have a thing for teeth, got to be straight (again, thanks dad for the braces)
2. The fact that he can give people a second chance, he gave me a second chance and I am forever grateful for that.
3. He is always willing to change and tries to do his best in EVERYTHING he does.
4. He is so crazy about the way he dresses. He has this thing that his white undershirt has to be just about less than an inch above the collar of his t-shirt and he goes crazy if his t-shirt collar is streched out, he won't even wear the shirt anymore if it is.

5. He is such a hard worker. He sweats like five seconds after he starts working, but he will work and work until the job is done. He makes me so proud and he is willing to try new things.
6. He LOVES mint-chocolate ice-cream! Could eat it everyday for all meals.
7. He has never had any animals growing up, but he will let me have them if I want them, even if he doesn't want them.
8. He lets me have anything I want, of course over time. He usually says no a couple times, but eventually I get my way. He is so sweet!
9. I love that he never lets anyone know that he is upset, except me of course. This may sound off, but he never causes friction. I have had friends that drove him crazy, but he would just smile and have a good time, even though I knew he was totally faking it, but my friends (or family... j/k) just thought he was the best thing ever and never had any idea.
10. He laughs at everything. I think that's why my family likes him, because he not only laughs at them, but he actually thinks they are funny! He isn't faking that one at all.
11. He worries about me.
12. He is amazing with kids, and all he wants is to be an awesome father, which he will be someday.
13. He loves to take baths and he could sit in there for hours! He never took baths until I made him try it once, now he loves them more than me.
14. He doesn't realize how wonderful he is. I tell him over and over all the great things about himself, but he just nods and I know he doesn't believe me, but he is wonderful!
15. He is always willing to help people. This last birthday, he spent the whole morning help someone at church lay sod in their yard.
16. He married me in the Temple.
17. He loves to decorate. It was hard for me at first to not take over everything and make all the decisions about decorating, but after I just chilled and let him do whatever, he has gone nuts! I love that he likes to try and find things for our house and he gets excited about it all.
18. He loves every inch of me and always wants me around. That just amazes me, I can't see why, but he loves me and makes me laugh.
19. He lets me talk and talk and talk all the time. Especially at night. When Brandon goes to bed and the lights are out, he is zonked and asleep, but when the lights go out for me, all I want to do is start talking about everything in the world and I can't sleep. So, he is so sweet to talk with me all night.
20. He is the love of my life and we have put up with a lot over the last five years, but in the end - it was all worth it, and I mean it Brandon.I love you & Happy Anniversary, Brandon! hugs and kisses to my honey bunches of oats! ;)
