10 Things I Love about My 5 Favorite People:
Micah:
1. His face lights up when he sees me, which makes me smile. But he also smiles at any new face he sees, which makes other people smile. And I love seeing people delight in my baby.
2. He falls asleep in my arms and seems to relax easier there than anywhere else. Then I just get to snuggle and kiss on my baby boy.
Josiah:
3. I love seeing him dance (it's so funny!), sing (especially songs he makes up), play games (he gets so excited), and learn new things everyday (this week he says "see you later, alligator!"). Everything is new and exciting and I am overflowing with pride and joy for my awesome 2 year old boy!
4. He loves his momma and she loves him! It makes my heart so happy when he yells "Momma!" and runs to me to give me a big hug and kiss, even if he just saw me minutes ago.
Jesse:
5. He works so incredibly hard to support our family and be the best husband and father he can be. This includes working hard at his job, making good grades and studying hard for school, helping around the house, playing with the boys, making time for me.
6. He's almost always the first to say he's sorry and make things right. It's something I struggle with and a way that he is strong where I am weak. And his willingness to see his own faults (where I often can't see my own) and strive to be better is one of the things that makes our marriage work.
David (my brother):
7. He's one of the funniest people I know, and I love that we can have a good time together whether it's a serious theological discussion, singing a Disney song together, or watching our favorite TV shows together. I love having him hang out with me, even if it's just to do laundry at my house.
8. He's also one of the most considerate people I know. I think I'm pretty empathetic and thoughtful, but David will go out of his way to take a gift to someone when it wasn't even on my mind. He's also constantly reminding me to remember someone's birthday or to be mindful of saying something that could hurt someone else's feelings. He points out the little things, like turning off my headlights while waiting in a drive-thru line so I don't blind the people in front of me. I don't always need reminders, but sometimes I do. And all of these show me on a regular basis how much he cares about the people around him.
My Mom:
9. My mom is my bestest friend in the world. I can talk to her about everything... AND I DO! I love shopping with her and going out to dinner, doing crafts together or watching TV, celebrating holidays and talking on the phone. We often find enjoyment in the same things and I love sharing them with her.
10. I've said it once and I'll say it a million times: I have the utmost respect for my mom. I love her heart for God and her willingness to share everything God gives her with other people, including financially, in encouragement, in prayer, in material possessions, in time, and in the countless other ways I can't even think of. She reminds me daily to seek God in my life and is a living example of the advice she gives to me. I adore her.
