Nostalgic List

While looking through old boxes I came across a list of reasons Jim loves me. He wrote it back in 2001 while we were dating. I left my notebook in his car, and while on his lunch break, he filled a page-and-a-half with reasons he loves me. He didn't tell me about it either. I found it when I opened my notebook during a lecture to take notes. Somehow it found its way into a box of old paperwork.

I've been debating whether or not to post the list. I don't want it to come across all Seriously So Blessed (very funny/sarcastic blog poking fun of "Utah" Mormon mom bloggers. . . and I'll admit I am guilty of some of the faux pas Seriously So Blessed mimics, but it's still funny) and act all braggy that my hubby wrote me something romantic. Also, Jim doesn't like it when I show the world that he has a romantic/sensitive side. It totally kills the whole Mr. Male Ego act he pulls off so well.

I finally decided I would post it. The two main reasons being:

1. It's written in pencil and has already started to fade. I want it documented somewhere less susceptible to aging.

2. I figured some mushy stuff would be okay since Jim and my anniversary is coming up next week.

If you're not a fan of said mushy stuff, go ahead and close out of the window now, cause the list is written below.

The following is a list Jim wrote to me back in 2001, shortly before we were engaged.
