Better than a Card

So, when you forget a card for your wife's birthday-you get to make a list. Yep, that's right-a list of 36 reasons why you love me. And to be honest, I love the list he made way more than a card that someone else wrote. I will always remember this birthday-not because he forgot to get me a card, but because he made me this list:

His last reason made me think back to when we were dating and so I got out the scrapbook from that year and found this picture. Look at these young things! :) 

I also got a handmade card from my boys and I love Camden's picture of my long hair. I look like a Rapunzel. :)
