I Love How...

For my husband, Jonathan:
  • I love the way you looked the first time I saw you.  Your eyes had a gleam, and I felt something real.
  • I love the way you tried to give me a full synopsis of the first two Lord of the Rings movies fifteen minutes before the third one commenced.
  • I loved that you let me rest my head on your shoulder through most of the movie.
  • I loved that you never tried to make a move too soon.
  • I loved the way you did make a move in the store as I shyly lowered my head to avoid it.
  • I loved that we would talk on the phone for hours at a time about seemingly senseless topics, but we could also sit in perfect silence just knowing the other person was on the line, and that was fine with us.
  • I loved how I couldn't get you off my mind and feeling something completely different and real with you.
  • I love the way you looked the first time you told me you loved me.  It was the first time I ever truly believed that someone did.
  • I love the way we sang the Quzino's song nearly everywhere we were and got several stares and strange looks, but we didn't care.
  • I loved that you found me funny and laughed even when no one else did.
  • I loved that trip to Niagara Falls in August of 2004.  I knew I wanted to share more times like this with you.
  • I love the way you looked at me when you told me you wanted to marry me.
  • I love the way I felt when I realized I wanted to too.
  • I love that Christmas Eve of 2004 when you proposed to me.
  • I love how shy and cute you looked while doing it.
  • I love how you were there for me through every second of the stress.  I regret not returning the favor.
  • I love how you assured me that everything would work out perfectly and that I worried too much.
  • I love how you were right.
  • I love how we talked on the phone for a long time before going to bed on the eve of our wedding because I couldn't wait until the morning to see you.
  • I love the way you looked as I walked up the aisle towards you.  You had that same gleam in your eyes as the first time I saw you only it was so much more real.
  • I love that you grabbed my hands and held them through the whole ceremony, rarely taking your eyes off me.
  • I love the way you looked at me during our first dance and told me it was the best day of your life.  It, admittedly, brought a tear to my eye.
  • I loved that you didn't smash the wedding cake in my face (as much as I know you wanted to).
  • I love how we shopped at Kohl's right after our wedding (at least, I found it humorous).
  • I love that your family loves me almost as much as you do, and that's a feeling I've never had before.
  • I love how I can tell you anything that's on my mind, and you never think of me differently.
  • I love that you're there for me when I'm sad; even if you're feeling sad at the same time.
  • I love that whenever I feel jealous, you don't get angry with me but drop everything to help me get through it.
  • I love how you always put me before everything else; even though I don't deserve it most of the time.
  • I love that you love me unconditionally, and I know that will always be the case.
  • I love you with all my heart and always will.
Happy Valentine's Day.
