What I Like About You?

...you really know how to dance!  You love sweeping your girls off their feet (me included) and participating in our "Dance Parties".  You also know just when I need a slow dance and a long hug after a hectic day.
You are an amazing father.  No matter how long your day happened to be, you still make an effort to make memories with your girls.  You lead our family in a Bible story and bedtime prayer.  You play games, read stories, and have tea parties even when there is a ball game on!
You set such a great example of loving others.  You genuinely care for people.  You try to help others when you can and use your gifts to help those in need.

You are an amazing at what you do and providing for our family.  You are so loving and caring.  I love hearing you check on a patient after hours or call parents to make sure that they got the lab values.  I love hearing my friends talk about how they enjoyed seeing you in clinic.  You spoil me rotten and are always looking out for the well being of our family.


Your smile.
Your sense of humor- You always keep me smiling.  You know just how to interject enough humor to keep us all on our toes.  I love hearing our girls giggle from the things that you say and do.  I also love seeing them develop their own sense of humor (that they obviously get from you!)
Even after almost 10 years of marriage, you still love me!  You send me texts just to say you love me.  You take me on dates; you still pursue our relationship.  You put up with me and my mood swings.  You love me even when I'm difficult to love.  Thank you!
 You are always up for an adventure!  You love to explore the city we live in, love to travel and go on "family adventures" together.
 You are chivalrous!  You still know how to treat a lady.  You take the time to date your daughters and show them how they should be treated and how much they are loved.
I am so blessed to have you in my life.  To walk along side of on this crazy adventure.  To laugh with and cry with.  I love you.
I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine.   Song of Solomon 6:3
