Thirty Reasons

Thirty reasons why I love Ron.

1. He tells me he loves me every day.
2. He doesn't mind if I put my icy cold feet on HIS feet when we go to bed at night.
3. He gives great back rubs.
4. He is a hard worker.
5. He does the dinner dishes nearly every night.

11. He is patient and kind.
12. When I ask him to do something, he is always happy to help.
13. He compliments me on my cooking and when something isn't so good-well, he isn't the one to mention it. Because HE knows that I know it, too. And I will NEVER make it again.

21. He encourages me to do hard things--like go back to school.
22. He tells me when I look nice.

25. He supports and encourages me to attend Women's Conference.
26. He is kind, loving, and patient with older people. Which is good. Because someday we are going to be those older people.
27. If I have a big job, he always asks "How can I help?"
28. He turns on the heater first thing in the morning so I can get up to a warm house.
29. He makes great whole wheat waffles.
