Yesterday was my main man's birthday, and while we've been inundated with celebrations and lots of people, we've been so busy that I haven't been able to do anything really meaningful, so here is my attempt: A list of 37 things I love about you, babe, for all the world to know.
1. I love that you are genuinely kind.
2. I love when you catch me off guard and make me laugh really hard.
3. I love that you are intellectually curious.
4. I love that we talk about interesting things that make me think.
5. I love that you are trustworthy.
6. No one follows through with an idea like you do. I love your diligence.
7. I love that you love the symphony.
8. I love that you can still lift a lot of weight.
9. And thus, you can carry me up the stairs and put me to bed when I fall asleep on the couch.
10. I love that you are more patient with the children than I am.
11. I love how they love you!
12. I love that there is nothing metrosexual about you at all. You are all man.
13. I love that I care about your opinion more than anyone else's. (Except when it comes to clothes. That's when a metrosexual would come in handy.)
14. I love that you love God and honor Him.
15. I love how your testimony influences me and our family.
16. I love that you make my plane reservations for me.
17. I love how you like to surprise me.
18. I love that you write amazing love letters (to me, of course.)
19. I love that you make mint chocolate chip shakes for me almost every night. (We might have to watch that for a while...)
20. I cherish your support in all I do. You truly give me wings to fly. Thank you!
21. I trust you more than anyone I know.
22. I love watching you teach. You always inspire me.
23. I love that you let me put my cold feet on you at night.
24. Thank you for cleaning the shower so I don't have to.
25. You make me feel safe.
26. I love that you are a grown up man who is willing to take on those responsibilities. The world is too full of guys.
27. Thank you for providing a beautiful home.
28. Thank you for working so hard so I can stay home with our kids.
29. And then thank you for giving me time away when I need it.
30. I love that you still have a thing for me. It gives me a little giddy-up in my get along.
31. I love that we are equally yoked.
32. Thank you for helping me repaint the entry even though inside I know you dreaded it.
33. Thank you for always being pleasant and even tempered.
34. I love that we are still a little competitive when it comes to air hockey or any other game known to mankind. You are my favorite playmate.
35. I love knowing and being known by someone so well.
36. Let's face it...you still look really good in a swimsuit!
37. Most of all, after 14 years together, I love that I still look forward to a lifetime with you.
Thomas, your life is a blessing to me. Happy Birthday. I love you.
Author's Note: If you are reading this and thinking about ever getting married, please read my thoughts on Mr. Right!

What can I say... AAHHHHHHHH!
That is sooo...cute- I have to say that Thomas is one of the most genuine people I have ever met... you two are a great team! Keep up the good work.
How lucky you both are! All those great things you say about him are true for you as well.
OK, OK... I don't know exactly why I need to comment on here, but I've been instructed that it is rude not to respond (even though I commented in person to the author on the day this wonderful, kind and too effluent entry was written). So here is my "comment": I can only claim to be any of these things because you bring them out in me. These are evidences of your touch... thank you!
