1. You always take me to the best Mavericks to get me my frozen yogurt. Or drive to every single one til we find the right flavors.
2. When we met on campus, you called me Morgan. I thought you were so cute... and delusional. Even though we met on campus, we somehow have pictures of us together in High School. 4 dance pictures, seminary graduation friends group pictures, and you are even standing right by me in our high school graduation pictures. We were M.F.E.O. (sleepless in seattle acronym).
3. You never stink. Even when you are sweaty. How is that possible? seriously, how?
4. You sure makes beautiful babies. That is a fact. 
5. You deep clean the apt atleast once a week, and do all the regular cleaning for everyday: make bed, dishes, sweep, garbages, change diapers, laundry, etc.
6. You loves your little girl almost as much as i do.
7. While dating, you danced with me at the butte until your car battery died. We'll save the rest of that story for later.... haha. You also danced with me during an entire 70's love song infomercial. Even with your fam watchin. Loved it!
8. Only been arrested once.
9. You tell me I still look pretty without makeup on. (Yes, I have questioned your eyesight for a long time now)!
10. Your singing. You may sing Johny Cash, Charlie Pride, and other depressing oldies, but stori just loves it. Or maybe she doesn't, cause you always put her to sleep while singin those to her. :)
11. You are sensitive. In a good way! Not like you cry all the time sensitive, but the kind of sensitive where you can sense when someone has their feelings hurt and will do anything to make them smile. You are real good at that SDR!
12. You Find humor in almost everything. And you can take being made fun of. Which is fun for me!
