On my birthday Jared sent me a really sweet email with this list of 32 Things he loves about me. It meant so much to me, almost more than any present he could've bought me... not that this gets him out of a present! I hope you don't mind that I am sharing it, Jared. I loved that you thought to do this.
You married me
You are a great cook
You give me fashion tips
You are a fantastic mother
You support my rugby addiction
You help me to be a better person
You like to run
You like to keep fit
You work hard at your callings
Your scrap book talents
You take time out for the kids
You bought me a BBQ
You remind me that there’s no such thing as “dressy jeans”
You love socializing
You find time for others
You like to travel
You speak Thai
You come from a good family who are normal for the most part
You clean a lot

That is a great list. And how fun to have it documented here. So much birthday fun all week long. That is my kind of celebration.
This is a sweet list and definitely a good gift. I would print it and frame it for a good reminder, especially on the hard days.
What's up with the comment about coming from a good family...for the most part? I didn't think he considered any of us good. Ha.
Oh, he's just being sarcastic about the family. We both tease one another about our families. Like we'll say, "oh, if I had known..." He loves you guys. You hook him up with Coke and imitate his accent. That's love.
Rob, this list brought tears to my eyes, how sweet it is. Give Jared a huge hug for me and tell him I love him too for giving you this great present.
What a nice list from your hubby. It is so nice to know that you are not only loved, but appreciated, too.
And please forgive me for bringing this up (you know I love ya) but you really do make the best cinnamon rolls. :D
how awesome and sweet of him to do that for you. I'm with jill, print it out so you can be reminded of this every day.
That is so cute that Jared made the list for you! I am cracking up about him saying your family is normal for the most part. Doesn't that describe all families? What a wonderful gift.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that cried just a little from reading this. It was so sweet and a fantastic gift! You have a terrific husband -- it must be b/c of the cinnamon rolls and good kissin'!
