50 Things I love about my wife

I asked my wife, "What should my post be about tonight?" and she replied, "the 50 things I like about my wife!" She was kidding, but here goes. . .

  1. Her chicken enchiladas
  2. her laugh, especially when it gets really late
  3. her devotion to our children
  4. her capacity for understanding others
  5. her even temper
  6. her kisses
  7. her devotion to her church service
  8. her thoughtfulness in approaching problems and assignments
  9. her taste in movies
  10. her patience with me (this one should count as ten!)
  11. her support in all I do
  12. her tireless service to her family
  13. her service to the community
  14. her chicken dumplings
  15. her homemade salsa
  16. when she plays the guitar
  17. when she sings
  18. her math skills
  19. that she handles the finances
  20. that she doesn't get mad at my spending habits
  21. that she always speaks in a quiet voice
  22. her smile
  23. that she bleeds blue like me
  24. her kindness to everyone
  25. that she is never sarcastic
  26. that she listens, and does not judge
  27. that she married me
  28. that she is my children's mom
  29. that she has a sweet tooth
  30. that she is wise in financial matters
  31. that she speaks kindly of others and attributes to others the best possible motive
  32. her giddiness when it gets really late
  33. watching What Not to Wear together and laughing at the make up lady who needs to be nominated for What Not to Wear
  34. her chicken stuffing casserole
  35. her mashed potatoes (she makes them way better than I, even though she likes instant better!)
  36. her patience with others
  37. that she is a cautious driver
  38. her taste in music
  39. that she seems to always know when I need a bowl of chocolate ice-cream
  40. her family heritage
  41. her unselfishness
  42. her love of basketball
  43. that she serves as my personal calendar, alarm clock, launderer, etc. etc. etc.
  44. her testimony of the gospel
  45. that she respects all people (children included)
  46. she served a mission
  47. she speaks polish
  48. her Oakcrest memories (that I share by proxy)
  49. when she irons my clothes the times I feel lazy in the morning
    and the major reason that I married her. . .
  50. Her devotion to God.

She fell asleep before I started this list. This sure was fun and I am so blessed and feel extremely happy to have my wife and children. This exercise has also increased my desire to improve in my personal righteousness so that I can serve others (especially my family) more faithfully.

You're getting all fancy with your blog! I like that moving title.

I think your wife is pretty great, too!

It's amazing how we feel when we take the time to consider and value the positive traits and abilities of others. I think so often it's "natural" to be selfish and close-minded to what a blessing other people are in our life. Good post.
