matt is awesome

What I love about my husband:

• he's MY husband ;) Of all women, he chose me to share his life with.
• his humor; while he appreciates and could quote "Night at the Roxbury," he has his own brand of quirky humor, which I find mostly funny and always adorable
• his smile... it was the first thing that won me over. And how easily he smiles.
• his eyes... the next thing that won me over. And how honest they seem.
• his openness and honesty. The fact that he feels guilty about calling in sick to work (okay, I think that's a little ridiculous but I appreciate how honest he is).
• his responsibility and hard work ethic. The fact that I know I don't have to worry about him not working whatever he needed to for us to make it.
• his work ethic and ambition in how he strives to be the best at whatever he's doing, and the pride he takes in the job he does
• his attention to detail -- from model ships to whether or not I've touched his wallet because it's now at a slightly different angle than he left it
• his love and affection with the pets, and how Jack has grown on him despite his initial dislike of cats; how he makes them special meals because his dad's dog died of dog food poisoning; how he walks all the way into the garage to let Jack into his food area so that Jack doesn't have to burn any calories walking around the side of the house in the elements to his food
• his affectionateness and how he holds me and kisses me
• the sound of his voice, especially when he's in a good mood and sings songs with new lyrics that he makes up
• how he makes coffee every morning and pours me a mug; and cannot help but buying about 5 varieties of coffee creamer every time we go to the store
• that a romantic dinner for him could just as easily be a Domino's pizza or Chinese takeout
• that he can't get enough sports... which I also find occasionally irritating, except that I had a lifetime of training to tolerate it, being my father's daughter
• that he's is more eerily similar to my dad than I originally realized... which is both familiar/comforting and slightly maddening (but in a humorous "I never thought I'd marry a guy so like my father, I swore I wouldn't" kind of way)
• that his obsessiveness is so similar to my own obsessiveness (Scorpios?) that I understand him in a deep knowing way, because I am also like that
• that even though I wish most of the time that in my bad mood, he would take the role of cheer'er-up'er, that he's so sensitive to my feelings that he's empathetic and we share moods
• his love of cereal
• his particular-ness; it's annoying and strange but it's also endearing
• how much he appreciates and notices what I do for him and for us
• that with enough hinting (nagging) that I like both cards and flowers, he got me BOTH for Valentine's Day

There's a start :)
