Happy Birthday Love!

Today is Ross's Birthday! I am excited for him because he never gets excited about birthdays. Here are a very few reasons why I love him today and every day:

1. He is more patient with me than I could ever deserve. I am always late, full of excuses, messy, lazy, etc. and he is always picking up my slack. He is such a great partner to me, even if I am not to him.
   
2. He takes the VERY little time he has on his lunch during his crazy days to take care of my second (and lesser) love Sophie so I can stay at work and read over my lunch hours.
   
3. Every morning he texts me to wish me good morning - i love that text it makes me smile every morning
   
4. He watches my horrible shows and movies (most of them anyway) with me and even fakes interest in them every once and awhile.
5. He does sweet things for me all the time, like sends me flowers or even just picks one off the street for me
   
6. He is my perfect manly man and I can't wait until we have a yard and a driveway for him to mow and shovel.
   
7. He puts up with my control freak nature and lets me make all the stupid decisions and knows when to just roll his eyes and walk away
8. He always picks up Sophie's poop for me, and rarely complain, unlike myself :)
9. Every Sunday morning he packs up the dogs and picks up the Sunday paper (which I know is probably more for him than me but I love our Sundays that we just lounge around and watch Four Weddings)
10. He always comes and give me a kiss right when he gets home each day and right before bed each night. I hope I get to do it every day until I run out of days.
11. He lets me take millions of pictures of the two of us until I get one I like, I have horrible squinty eyes and take horrible pictures.
    
12. He brings me a sweatshirt when I am cold, before I even know I need one.
    
13. He takes care of me when I am sick (and dying, and whining, and won't let him forget how sick I am)
14. He packs and unpacks the car during our travels.
    
15. He also always insists on driving, and although I fight him on it sometimes, I LOVE getting to be the passenger, and sometimes sleeping or watching a movie. He also humors me and lets me read articles from magazines or the paper out loud to him.
    
16. He keeps me young (which I am compared to him but I definitely act older most days) even if I fight him on it. I love that he is always joking or playing tricks on me because it keeps me laughing (most days) and makes me know that we really could get through anything as long as we can still laugh together.
    
17. HE MAKES MY LIFE BETTER JUST BY BEING IN IT! I honestly can't imagine not having Ross in my life until the end. I don't want to spend another day or minute without him (but not in a creepy way like Alexis and Jim from the RHOOC, see number 4 above). I can't wait until we are married 130 days and will be husband and wife and start our own little Johnson family.
