26 Reasons I'm Glad I Said Yes
/
Today marks 26 years since my sweet husband drove this very young, scared, sobbing girl away from her parents’ farm. I am so glad he didn’t just turn around and take me back, even though I was a complete basket case.
B, this is for you. I’m so glad I said yes.
1. You didn’t turn around.
2. You dried my tears.
3. You took my hand.
4. You kept driving.
5. You like 70’s and 80’s rock music . . . turned up real loud.
6. You tolerate my music too.
7. You grabbed a sleeping bag and a backpack and discovered all the joys of my favorite place along with me.
8. You never complained about the youth hostels.
9. You let me go to grad school first.
10. You’re the smartest man I know. (And I mean that.)
11. Kate.
12. Caroline.
13. Julia.
14. You’re a great dad.
15. You make me laugh every day.
16. You turn your cell phone off on the weekends.
17. You like to travel (or at least you pretend you do to put up with my obsession).
18. You’re still so handsome.
19. You listen.
20. You encourage me.
21. You believe in me.
22. You love God more than me.
23. You quote movies.
24. Your favorite is "Braveheart."
25. You watch chick flicks with me.
26. And just like at the end of “You've Got Mail,”
. . . I’m so glad it was you.
