BiRtHdAy BoY!

My "old man" (yes I know I'm only one year behind, ha) Quarter of a century! Wow, time really does fly! 25 reasons I love this guy: (And yes- there are many, many more than that!!) ***Please don't feel obligated to read the whole thing. 1: You kiss me good night and good morning every. single. day. In our whole marriage you've never, ever missed a day. 2: You're always more than willing to do things for me that I sometimes don't have time to do. Cooking and cleaning to name a few.. even though it's definitely not your favorite thing. 3: You've always been my biggest supporter when it comes to anything. I know no matter what that you'll always be behind me cheering me on. 4: We share the same sense of humor. I love the nights where we lay in bed and laugh our butts off at the dumbest stuff for hours. 5: You always know when I'm in need of a Dr. Pepper or a Rockstar to get through my long work days and without asking, you always show up with one in hand. 6: I know you could watch ESPN and any other sports channels ALL day long but you always make sure to cuddle up on the couch with me to watch 90210, One Tree Hill, Desperate Housewives, Jersey Shore, Teen mom, and Biggest Loser. (Sometimes I even think you may be more into the shows then me, ha.) 7: You encourage me to spend good quality girl time with my sisters and my friends. You even let me break the bank on our shopping sprees :) 8: You understand me better than anyone in my life ever has and I love that we can finish each others sentences or know exactly what the other is thinking with just one look. 9: You are the peacemaker in our marriage. You're sweet to me even on the days when you shouldn't be :) I love how you know just when I need a big hug. 10: Your always up for my crazy ideas and I love the fact that we're both as spontaneous as the other. Makes for some interesting times & especially stories :) 11: I love that we share the same love for soccer, bowling, snowboarding, vacations and so on... without kids we've been able to play constantly and as much fun as kids will be one day.. I'm SO thankful we've had the time to do all these things together. 12: I'm grateful for the fact that you work as hard as you do to provide for our family. I have never heard you complain ONCE as long as I've known you about working. (I also have to thank your parents for teaching you and showing you the way when it comes to that.) 13: I love how silly you are. You can make me laugh so easily. 14: You tell me I'm beautiful even when I don't feel like it. Ponytail, sweats, right after a workout and you still tell me I look cute. 15: I love how excited you get to go play ball with the guys, when you bowl a 260, when your the top scorer on our indoor team or when you kick my trash down the mountain. So competitive, but I love your passion for those things. 16: I've never met a more romantic guy in my life. I love finding little notes around the house. You've done that since our first date and almost 6 years later I still find at least one note a day. I love finding them :) 17: I still get butterflies when I see you or when your name pops up on my phone. I love talking to you and being with you more than anything! 18: I love how cute you are with our nieces and nephews and Duke. I know you will be a GREAT dad one day and I cannot WAIT to see that and to be apart of it. 19: I love the way your eyes wrinkle up when you laugh or smile. You always have a smile on your face (probably the reason for those cute little wrinkles). 20: You make me want to be a better person and I already know that I am for having you in my life. 21: Your great with money and you've always been the one to take care of all the finances. (Good thing, I'm a spender.) 22: This may or may not be a good thing but I actually love that we disagree on just about every sports team (besides the Jazz). I can forgive you for being a BYU fan :) It makes it MUCH more fun around our house when we get to be rivals sometimes! Not to mention... you're a MUCH better sport than me. 23: I love that you let me take half your closet and drawer space with only a little complaining. Heaven knows I need it. 24: You love my big, crazy family and they adore you. ♥ 25: I LOVE you for being YOU. I LOVE you for everything you've done for me and I LOVE you for loving ME the way you do. I can't wait for the rest of our lives together. It's definitely going to be a good time :)

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY CODY JAY GIFT!!

I LOVE YOU!
