yesterday in the mail i got a little note from boyfriend that started out, "so i think i'm going to write down a bunch of stuff that i love about you.."
for no special reason! it reminded me of last year when i sent him a list of 20 things i love about him for his 20th birthday. there are about a million things i love about him, but here are those 20:
20. When you text/type "sup" to me, I can easily visualize how you would say it to me face to face, and it makes me smile.
19. I know being a good husband/father one day is something you strive for, and I admire that so much.
18. The way you talk about Diana* melts my heart.
17. You haven't lost your sense of humor as a missionary :)
16. You make me believe I can be better, and you make me want to be.
15. Your smile can light up a whole room (maybe even all of Fiji)
14. You are my best advice giver.
13. You can ALWAYS make me laugh!
12. You are super fun to go bowling with.
11. Every time I see those little paper things wrapped around the napkin that's wrapped around silverware at restaurants, I laugh. Out loud.. so I hope you remember that.
10. You inspire me to be better at my calling as the primary chorister.
9. Your laugh makes me laugh.
8. I can talk to you about anything.
7. Sunday is my favorite day of the week, because I know I'm going to hear from you.
6. You have such a big heart.
5. You're truly one of the best men I know.
4. You challenge me to always reach for more and never settle for less than I deserve.
3. You're sweet (whether you believe it/admit to it or not)
2. You're one of my best friends (if not my BEST friend) in the whole world.
1. Even though you're busy and halfway across the world, you haven't forgotten about me. And I think we've grown even closer since you've been on your mission.

*his little sister
Of course, I wrote those 20 things a year ago, and so much has changed since then. I love him even more now, and I have about a thousand other things to add to that list. And while I won't share all 25 things he loves about me, I will share some of the ones that made me laugh the most.
"4. how you tell your 'funny' stories, but at the end you always put 'i guess you had to be there'
15. despite your not so funny stories you still can make me laugh pretty hard
20. i like how you like what you like and like telling me about it haha
25. how you're mine.. and i'm yours"
that's right, ladies. he's mine!
