Father's Day

I Just wanted to take a few spare minutes this afternoon and wish my sweetheart an early Happy Father's Day! With both Mike and Camilla taking afternoon naps, I find myself alone with my thoughts in a very quiet (too quiet) home.  It's great though, because it has given me time to reflect and think about all the things I love and admire about my husband. 

He's patient.  I don't think I've ever met anyone as patient as Mike. And it's not just that he's patient, but he's patient with ME.  I believe it takes a special kinda person to live with me (haha) and Mike just happens to be it.  It doesn't seem to matter what I say/do, he's always patient with me.

He's hard working, and determined.  He's always willing to go the extra mile and become the best that he can be.  I admire that about him!

He still gives me those little butterflies of excitement that I would get when we were dating. With a simple look, or when he grabs my hand.

 He loves me for who I am.  I sometimes ask him "If you could change anything about me, what would it be?" And his reply is always, "Nothing, I love you just the way you are".  It makes me feel super special to have someone who loves me for me.  

He loves to laugh!! Even when I am in the grumpiest mood EVER, Mike can crack a smile or a giggle out of me.  He's amazing at making me feel better when I'm feeling down. 

He is amazing with Camilla.  From when I first met Mike, I knew he was great with kids (which is one reason why I married him).  He plays so well with his little girl and she absolutely ADORES her daddy.  

He Loves the Lord.  Ever since I was little I've wanted to marry my prince charming who could take me to the temple to be sealed for time and all eternity. Well, I found him!! Mike's love for the gospel is contagious and makes me want to be a better person and learn as much as I can. 

The list could go on and on!! There is so much that I love and admire about Mike.  He is an amazing man, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to spend eternity with!!

I  ♥ You!!
