October 17

3 years ago, David asked me to be his girlfriend. Today is a very special day for me. Thinking about our dating life and how far we've come to this point of being married and living together in Minneapolis makes me so thankful.

Even though we've decided to celebrate only our wedding anniversary (July 10), I think this date deserves some attention too, because without it we wouldn't be here.

Thank You, Jesus.

28 Reasons Why I Love David


28 years ago, God gave David his first breath. He's grown up now, and he's my husband. 2.75 years ahead of me at all times. I'm so lucky to be with my husband. It started off as a crush, then it turned into admiration, then it turned into respect, and now it's a combination of all of that plus love. I love you, David Synn! These are the reasons that I love David. Well, just 28 of them.

1. The way he tells me that everything I cook is delicious
2. Always knows the right answer to everything- or if he doesn't, he tells me where to find it..
3. Makes such a backbreaking effort to make life comfortable for me at all times (making me lunch, doing the laundry, buying me feminine-hygiene products, and even telling me bedtime stories when I can't sleep -_- do i sound like an infant? why yes, yes i do.)
4. He has the ability to make any situation lighter/not as serious by making funny faces, doing dog impressions (don't ask.), doing pig impressions (LOL don't ask.), and saying ridiculous things to make me laugh
5. The way he talks in his sleep and says the most ridiculous things, which is usually hilarious.
6. The way he dropped everything to move to Minnesota for me, to show me how much he loves me. (getting teary eyed now. :*) )
7. He inspires me to try my best at everything that I do, because that's what he does with everything that he does
8. He understand deep stuff/gets me when I talk about spiritual stuff (kind of hard to find..)
9. He cooks horribly, but he does it with so much love
10. He's taller than me, so when we hug I rest my head on his chest and that is comforting.
11. He has a heart for the underdogs of society, the poor, the unsaved, orphans, animals, and the oppressed
12. He's clean! He takes showers every day.
13. His ducky lips
14. So smart (and humble about it)
15. The way he grins so big his eyes disappear and all his teeth show
16. The way he's so easy to make fun of :)
17. A very CLUTCH man, indeed.
18. Did I mention that he does the laundry for the both of us?
18. (The real #18:) The way he knows so much about sports- he doesn't get annoyed, and he answers me so patiently and tries to teach me sports stuff when I ask him sports questions that are probably stupid
19. The way he wakes up in the middle of the night to make sure I have my share of the blanket
20. He enjoys talking to my parents and making them happy and encouraging them :)
21. He even prays for my friends!!
22. His sort of old spirit. Matches well with my old spirit. We are old spirited young people.
23. His quiet yet strong way of being.
24. The way he focusses on the person who is sad or feeling left out in a group setting (newcomers, introverts, etc.)
25. The way he keeps telling me that he loves me. (9-10 times a day maybe?)
26. The way he walks into the door after work with a smile on his face, expecting a hug. :)
27. The way he reminds me how we're going to go to heaven together and worship God & be joyfully together for eternity.
28. He is my best friend.

Happy birthday David!!

Love,
Your wife. :)
