Happy 24th Anniversary, Jack!

24 Reasons I Would Marry You Again

1. You love God and are very authentic about your relationship with Him and also your struggles.
2. You are a very excellent, determined, and hard worker who cares deeply about all people. 
3. You love it when I laugh and am relaxed, and you work to make that happen.
4. You can stay up late and get up early (which particularly impresses me since I can’t do either very well 😬.)
5. You take the kids to school every morning, dealing with 3 teenaged girls getting out of the house. 
6. You do lots of things for me to be warm because you know it makes me happy.
7. You remember things that I don’t, sentimental things that matter.
8. You see the world very differently and it has made me slow down, learn to listen a little bit better, and think outside the box. 
9. You appreciate beauty and nature and food, and that has made me live a fuller life.
10. You always genuinely think I look good and you enjoy my morning hair with the humor it does indeed deserve.
11. You offer me your coffee even when I said I didn’t want any but now it looks really good. 
12. You fill my Christmas stocking and give me good birthday presents. 
13. You talk very nicely to others about me, and actually talk nicely about everyone. 
14. You’re happy to help me with my concerts (or any endeavors) in any way. 
15. You’re loud so I can be quiet and wallflowery sometimes.
16. You have always taken us to church and been very involved there. 
17. You love to give when someone is in need, regardless of how much we have. You set an example for the kids with me of helping strangers.
18. You try really hard to not talk to me first thing in the morning. 😘
19. You adore animals and babies, and I think that says a lot.
20. You always tell me to go wherever and do whatever I want; you trust that I know what I’m doing and are excited for me.
21. You are super fun to go on dates, double dates, movies, shopping trips, hikes, and vacations with. 
22. You’re a great driver, even if I do act like I’m having a seizure in the passenger side sometimes.
23. You’ll pray over me when I am sick or when the girls are needing prayer.
24. No one could have known for sure because only time can tell this about anyone, but the 24th reason I would marry you again is that you have not gotten tired of me or given up on marriage, even though it has been difficult and bewildering for both of us at times along the way. God gave me you, a man who would not waver in his promise to keep trying, to not grow tired of me, and to keep wanting to do life with me. That is no small thing, and I am really honored and thankful. ❤️ To the next 24! 🥂
