Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary. It seems like it's been so many more years and at the same time I can't wait till we've added on a lot more. Unfortunately we can't be together on our anniversary, but we're gonna celebrate big when she gets back from Texas.
Here are a few select pictures from our lives together. (She'll probably protest to some of these pictures):

And now to celebrate our anniversary, I now present 33 things that I love about Stephanie:
1. Her laugh. She has many different kinds, but I love all of them.
2. How she plays with Beesly.
3. She is stubbornly disciplined about her quiet time.
4. She sings in the shower, usually about Jesus.
5. That she's a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl.
6. She sincerely tries to get interested in things I'm interested in (even when I don't always do the same)
7. She supports my job and shows her gratitude for the work that I do.
8. Our inside jokes and how we sometimes say the exact same thing at the same time.
9. She loves making me good home-cooked meals (especially after a long day).
10. She reguarly supplies me with delicious baked goods.
11. Her sense of humor.
12. She appreciates my sense of humor, even at it's corniest.
13. She always asks about my day and listens patiently when I complain about clients and work.
14. She always wants to talk.
15. She's understanding and cool when something goes wrong, like a car breakdown or an unexpected loss of finances.
16. She always wants to cuddle.
17. Her broken heart for the unborn, neglected and the mistreated.
18. She always tries to look her best when we're in public, and I'm always honored to be seen with her.
19. She likes making things by hand, both for herself and others.
20. She prays for our children and their future spouses.
21. She loves her family and does her best to help them.
22. The amount of thought and effort she puts into planning for our children.
23. Her efforts to record memories for our future.
24. Her musical taste (except for maybe country and some musicals).
25. She's becoming a gamer like me.
26. She supports my video gaming, and even watches me play sometimes.
27. She goes to action and sci-fi movies with me.
28. She likes going to concerts (when they're nearby and affordable).
29. She likes playing tricks on me.
30. She has a maternal spirit.
31. She has childlike faith that's inspiring to me.
32.She loves me relentlessly without conditions or hesitation, just as I am.
33. She's an immense blessing from God with whom I have the pleasure of sharing everything.
I could easily go on, but it would cause much gagging and eyerolling from those who aren't Steph.
Here's to three years of wedded bliss and many more years and adventures to come!!
Three years ago today we were on our way to the airport after a long day of wedding festivities. I had already arranged for chocolate covered strawberries at the hotel, but Steph was hungry (and so was I) since we were able to do little more than look at the food at our reception. So we stopped at Taco Bell and had that along with chocolate covered strawberries as our first meal together as a married couple. We have had Taco Bell many times since and I love the simple satisfaction Steph gets from bean burritos. So to celebrate our anniversary and satisfy my nostalgia, I'm having Taco Bell for dinner and wishing my beautiful wife was here to share it with me.
