Thank goodness for husbands.... :)

This is at the resort we stayed at during our honeymoon. I figured we should take at least ONE picture before we left!
So I've been thinking A LOT about my dear husband today. I honestly think it's a miracle he loves me so much. I've had so many moments when I say something that comes out completely wrong and a bit hurtful... I'm still working on my filter... but Dave either lets it go or talks to me about it with the perfect words that make me feel horrible for being my imperfect self, but are so full of love I want to be better for him. (I hope that makes sense)  David is the most patient, caring, compassionate man I know. I love him heaps! The following is a list I made for his birthday (which I wanted to post, but haven't been able to until now). I wrote them in crayon and posted them up all around our apartment for him to come home to... I should have taken a picture. Maybe this blogging will help me get back into documenting life through pictures like I used to!

Romney family snow creations during Thanksgiving Break. David and I created the snowman on the left... the one with the gun and a mohawk that you can't really see (The mohawk really was my idea believe it or not). Dave also added weapons to the others... As we were building our snowman Dave said, "I build snowmen to LAST!" and "I can't help it, when I start doing stuff like this I get creative."
6. How he saw something attractive in me when we met 11 months ago
5. The great EFFORT he puts into loving me
4. His patience with my selfish and insensitive moments
3. CHARITY (See Pres. Monson's 2010 R.S. Conference talk)
2. The love we share with ONLY one another
1. "I have a secret.... I love you!"

I could go on forever... 

Needless to say, I have a wonderful husband... he happens to be my favorite! ;)
