One Dozen and Counting

Happy 12 year anniversary to my darling husband.

Above is our wedding invitation .
Here we are in the tree that was blown down in the tornado of 1999.

And of course in one of the niches of the temple

Cutting the cake.

Eating the cake.

A dozen things I like about Andrew:

1. He has a wicked cute smile. I can tell when he's teasing me by how his smile curls up a bit at the corner of his mouth. He likes to tease me, and I used to be so gullible.

2. Andrew is an excellent provider. This is especially important to me because I have a hard enough time leaving my babies at school.

3. Andrew likes to try new foods and is willing to share off of my plate. Good food always tastes better with good company.

4. Andrew makes our yard look great. He mows the grass in neat rows and trims the edges around the sidewalk and the borders of the flower beds. He waters and fertilizes so we have a great looking lawn.

5. I love it when he takes me to the temple.

6. He makes a great egg-in-the-nest. The kids love this dish.

7. He's a great painter and floor installer :)

8. He's quite handy to have around in a medical emergency.

9. He's a great hugger and kisser... *wink*

10. He still loves me even with my extra "curves"

11. He usually remembers to call me and tell me goodnight.

12. He's stuck with me for twelve years and I hope for an eternity of dozens more.

Happy 12th anniversary Andrew. I love you. One dozen down, eternity to go.
