Isn’t he Cute?Caution – this may contain a lot of sappiness! Those who continue reading will have to muddle along…but I must declare my devotion and love without restraint.
Tomorrow is Stephen and I’s 13th anniversary. It doesn’t seem possible that time could go by so quickly – but it has. I am going to take this opportunity to brag about 13 qualities (in no particular order) that I love about my cool husband and favorite person in the whole world.
1. I have never had to take my car to a mechanic!
2. I love the fact that he takes pride in being self-sufficient.
3. My children have THE funnest dad ever- who is highly involved in their lives.
4. He is super smart and has a knack for remembering numbers, he teaches with analogies – whether it is gospel oriented or computer lingo.
5. Doesn’t ever raise is voice in anger – very patient. Hates contention.
6. Smiles, even if he is sad.
7. My favorite shopping companion – he lets me decide where we go.
8. Adventurous – Running Marathons, Climbing Mountains, Building Houses…
9. Industrious – there isn’t a lazy bone in his body.

11. Endlessly helping me out and trying to make me happy.
12. Supportive of my emotional, sprititual, educational, and physical pursuits.

Only a sparce few of the many, many reasons that make me happy to be the wife of my best friend, Stephen Sperry Parker. Aren’t I so lucky?
At one of my Bridal Showers I was asked what “our song” was. I have no idea what I said, but I was shocked at the answer he gave them! He said, “Livin’ on Love” by, Alan Jackson. I think I had heard it a couple of times, it still isn’t my favorite song – but I do agree with the message. I think the phrase sums up what life is all about in all relationships – especially marriage.
