You can\u2019t imagine that I could possibly come up with a hundred things.<br>99. You will eat the cheap chocolate your kids gave you this morning, and smile.<br>98. You IM the kids during the day to say \u201cWay to go on that math test.\u201d<br>97. When I call during the day, I can tell that sometimes you\u2019re just glad to hear my voice.<br>96. You are still my soft place to fall.<br>95. You have Hobbit feet.  <br>94. You try to work out at the Y every day even though the old men in the locker room creep you out.<br>93. You watch Drake and Josh with the kids and even have a favorite episode.<br>92. You write beautiful letters.<br>91. You suffer from the Tim Allen syndrome, and you know it but don\u2019t really care.<br>90. Together, we can beat anyone at Trivial Pursuit.<br>89. You are one of the smartest people I\u2019ve ever known.<br>88. Somehow you don\u2019t get that.<br>87. You\u2019re hot.<br>86. You don\u2019t get that either.<br>85. You don\u2019t smile in pictures because you like to look tough, but don\u2019t think I know that.<br>84. You still make fun of me for farting on Christmas morning 14 years ago.  It\u2019s still funny, but can we let it go?<br>83. We can sit in the silence together and not have to say a word.<br>82. You play football with the boys in the backyard.<br>81. You talk to my belly when I\u2019m pregnant.<br>80. You know I\u2019m not a jewelry kind of girl, but you want to buy it for me anyway.<br>79. This post may be one of your favorite Valentine\u2019s gifts ever.<br>78. You still call your dad for advice.<br>77. Your parents objected, but you married me anyway.<br>76. We ate rice for the first three years of our marriage.  You never complained, and you still like rice.<br>75. If someone asks for help, you always say \u201cYes.\u201d<br>74. You love our children, and even better, you like them.<br>73. You try to be the kind of man that you want the boys to be.<br>72. You change the poopy diapers.<br>71. You have caught the vomit in your hands and remained calm.<br>70. You actually liked the guinea pigs, and were sad when they died.<br>69. You chase the dog around the backyard until she keels over from joy and exhaustion.<br>68. You have presided over goldfish funerals.<br>67. The way you are always nice to family, even when they aren\u2019t nice to you.<br>66. The delight you take in the costumes of #3, and that you show the picture off at work.<br>65. You always buy Girl Scout cookies if someone asks.<br>64. I paint the walls weird colors, you don\u2019t complain.<br>63. I move the furniture around, you don\u2019t complain.<br>62. You hate change, I change everything, you don\u2019t complain.<br>61. You\u2019re very tolerant.<br>60. You go downstairs to brush your teeth and shave in the morning so I can sleep a little bit later.<br>59. You actually feel left out when you don\u2019t get to go to an Irish dance competition.<br>58. When you don\u2019t like dinner, you tell me how to make it better, then you eat it anyway.<br>57. You like your oreos straight from the freezer.<br>56. You don\u2019t think I\u2019m funny, but you laugh anyway.<br>55. You mow the lawn so that it gets the same diamond pattern as the golf course.<br>54. You sing the Prince\u2019s part from \u201cI Know You\u201d from Sleeping Beauty so our three year old can be Princess Aurora.<br>53. #2 talks in circles for hours, you actually listen and try to keep up.<br>52. You dragged 4 kids around the marathon route so they could cheer for mom.<br>51. Met me at mile marker 11 so I could nurse #4.  <br>50. Strong slow hands.<br>49. That just the word \u201ccowbell\u201d can make you laugh.<br>48. You save every card I\u2019ve ever given you.<br>47. The stuffed panda you had as a boy is in your closet. <br>46. The little boy grin you get when you use your chainsaw.<br>45. The way my cheek fits perfectly into that spot on your shoulder.<br>44. That you put your cereal bowl and spoon on top of the fridge so you always have a clean one.<br>43. How attached you are to your \u201cDad\u201d pillow.<br>42. That you play Star Wars with the boys.<br>41. Your idea of a bedtime story is reading the Star Wars ship tech manual to our sons.<br>40. You\u2019ve played Pretty, Pretty Princess and been happy when you won.<br>39. You\u2019ve named all three boys after gunfighters, then tell them to \u201cplay nice\u201d.<br>38. Commutationem timemus.<br>37. That you know I hate that ear thing\u2026but still try it anyway.<br>36. Your Beavis and Butthead\/King of the Hill impressions.<br>35. When we watch movies, you tell me when the bloody scenes are over.<br>34. You don\u2019t make fun of me because I can\u2019t watch the bloody scenes.<br>33. There are movies you won\u2019t watch because children are hurt\/die in them.<br>32. You can\u2019t watch the \u201cChristian Children\u2019s Fund\u201d commercials.<br>31. You change the oil in my car, and set the gauge, so that it keeps working.<br>30. You drive the old minivan so I can drive the cute car.<br>29. You may never own a firebird, and part of you is okay with that.<br>28. The other part isn\u2019t.<br>27. You follow the rules, even when it\u2019s inconvenient.<br>26. The way you smell.<br>25. Did I mention the way you smell?<br>24. It can ruin your day if the Sooners lose, but you\u2019re not a fan.<br>23. You do the laundry.<br>22. You never doubted (out loud) my ability to homeschool.<br>21. You think I should go back to college just for me.<br>20. The way your voice makes my knees turn to jelly.<br>19. Your deep appreciation of head rubbing and foot massages.<br>18. You\u2019re a city boy, but you dream of country living.<br>17. After 15 years together, I still have to tie your ties.<br>16. You\u2019re the parent the kids want when they\u2019re sick.<br>15. You make the best burgers ever. (I know, they <span style=\"font-style:italic\">need<\/span> bacon bits.)<br>14. You read my blog every day.<br>13. You bought me the stupid ice cream thing I wanted for my birthday, then bought that big cake because I wasn\u2019t wishing big enough.<br>12. You wanted one child, we had five, and you think you got your way.<br>11. You helped your dad roof his house when we went to Corpus Christi on vacation.<br>10. You always wanted to be a cowboy.<br>9. That thing you do\u2026you know the thing\u2026<br>8. Four showers a day on a Saturday, one after every lawn you mow.<br>7. You wash your hands when we get to the restaurant and again when the food arrives.<br>6. You\u2019re almost as big a cheapskate as me.<br>5. I can make you feel spoiled you by taking you out to lunch.<br>4. You think birth is the most disgusting thing you\u2019ve ever seen.  You haven\u2019t missed a single one.<br>3. The sight of our babies\u2019 heads resting on your chest.<br>2. You know I won\u2019t get your jokes, but you tell them to me first anyway.<br>1. Because I can\u2019t imagine going to sleep or waking up with anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>I love you, Computer Guy!  I\u2019m so glad that God decided I was worthy to be your wife.
