Random Reasons I Love My Husband

1.  We were sitting outside in the yard the other day when he got up and came back with long extensions cords and a boombox.  He then proceeded to put this on:

2.  He took the boys to Toys R Us today to get a new Indiana Jones action figure because the whip on the original one broke.  Then, as he put it, he turned into me and bought them a truck for the Indiana Jones truck chase.

3.  He bought mulch for the garden and started mulching the beds that needed it the most.

4.  Because Owen can make him laugh so hard he turns bright red.

5.  Kieran Kane and Kevin Welch make his heart light.

6.  His head is FILLED with more songs and musical knowledge than I can imagine and it spurts out randomly.

7.  He is the absolute rock of our family.

8.  He likes going  to the garden walk.  If anything he gets more excited than I do and given that he does all the hard work in the garden---that's something.

9.  Because when I pull the wheelchair up to the car for my mother she tells me that when Ernie does it it's much easier.  O.K. this irritates me...but just the same....I love how good he is to my mother.  He likes talking politics/current events with her.

10. Because he won't start reading the current newspaper until he's finished the old one.  This makes me crazy but I've never met anyone who can get as much out of a newspaper as my husband.

11. Because I looked at a picture from when Leo was a baby and I realized how much younger Ernie looked.  It never occurs to me that he ages.  Made me realize how damn long we've been together.

12.  He's more or less agnostic but his best friend is a pastor.

and last but not least.....

13. He cuts out all the cereal box offers and sends them in for the boys.
