Wow it has been a while right? Talk about a busy couple of weeks. We have been a family of celebrations this month! First Spencer's big day, then we left for the cruise and were able to celebrate our TWO year anniversary. I know right? Two years!! 

I feel like I owe so much to the man who gives up everything for me. I seriously couldn't have chosen a better man to be with for the eternities. Never in my dreams would I think i would end up with someone like him. Top ten reasons why i love him:

10. He tries his best to do what is right. He helps us to remember to read our scriptures each night. He is willing to use his priesthood whenever it is needed. He has a strong testimony that he doesn't hesitate to share when people present an interest about. 

9. He is still cheesy and corny. He makes jokes to be silly and I appreciate that he hasn't changed his sense of humor. Even though sometimes I am not in the mood to hear the jokes sometimes, I'm still grateful for them. After all its one of the reasons I fell for him in the first place. 

8.He absolutely doesn't care what people think. If he believes in something, he does it because he wants to. Derek doesn't care about looking silly or that people will think he is weird. He is confident. 

7. He has so much music talent. Whether it be from beat boxing, to playing the piano, to singing, to playing guitar hero, this guy does it all. And if he doesn't know how he has the interest to learn. I love when he does things like singing karaoke on the cruise or sits and writes his own songs when he is frustrated with things, My man has talent and loves to share it. 

6. He is teaching me how to communicate. I have never been good about sharing opinions or taking things through when i don't agree. Being married to him I feel so much more comfortable with coming and talking to him about things. It is fun to know that I can trust him and that he cares what I think about things. 

5. He is seriously the greatest dad for Spencer. He is goofy, he helps discipline, and he wants what is best for his little boy. Being a new parent is hard work and I have loved seeing just how much he has grown over the past year. Its not an easy transition, but I honestly don't know anyone else who has handled it so well. 

4. Derek is the hardest worker. He has taken on the motto, don't do anything half heartedly. If you work hard and do what is right, it will pay off. Sometimes the easy way out sounds so appealing, but there is a satisfaction knowing that you did all that you could do earn what you got. 

3. He cleans the house to help me out. I know that I have a hard time keeping up and sometimes things get piled up, the dishes, laundry, bathroom items (makeup, hair products, etc) and he doesn't hesitate to help me out. 

2. This man does whatever he needs to, to provide for out family. At one point in our marriage he took on 4 different jobs! He would wake up early if he needed to. He would stay out late if that meant we were taken care of. Nothing stops him from doing what needs to be done. 

~~**1. The biggest reason why I love my husband is that he cares more about me than anything else in this world. He has given up his friends for me. He has given up his life, to make me happy. Dedicated his time, to doing what I want. Why in the world would someone do that? Especially why would he do it  for an average me, someone who struggles every day to try and be what everyone needs. I honestly have the best husband in the world. I can't wait for all the anniversaries to come! We have so many adventures to come and I am so in LOVE with him. **~~

Next time I post I'll catch up on our vacation and all the fun we had! Overall we are having such a great summer!
