Minus 1-year anniversary

Today has been a good day so far.  I found out I'm still getting a raise this year.  There was pumpkin spice coffee in the break room.  But most of all...today is one year until our wedding.

I call it our "minus 1-year anniversary."  I left a note in Simon's car this morning to commemorate it:

"One year from today...I will be your wife.  And nothing could make me happier.  Love, Squeebee."

I know, cheesey, but heartfelt!  And to continue the cheesiness, here are some of the reasons why I want to be Mrs. Simon Nelson:

• He makes me laugh at all the right times.
• He takes care of me when I'm sick, and stays up with me when I'm too sick to sleep.
• He does WAY more than his share of the housework (which I need to fix,  I know).
• He loves animals almost as much as I do.
• He gives the BEST hugs and kisses.
• He rides a motorcycle...and lets me tag along!
• He's perfectly okay with us occassionally spending an entire day playing WoW and not leaving the house.
• He's dead sexy (but don't tell him I said it, he'll get embarassed!).
• His arms are the safest place in the world.
• He is a total gentleman.
• His smile makes my day.
• I never get sick of him.
• We almost never fight.
• He goes to bed early with me even when he's not tired, just so I don't have to fall asleep alone.
• He encourages me to better myself, and never berates me when I fail.
• He always picks me up when I fall.
• He's still fascinated by how little I am, and thinks it's SO cute.
• He lifts heavy things for me.  And gets stuff off the top shelf.
• He likes my cooking.
• He fixes stuff.
• He thinks I'm beautiful just the way I am, but still notices when I dress up and wear makeup.
• He agrees with my political rants.
• I can talk about anything with him.  Even embarassing stuff.
• He does cute things like sending me flowers and other surprises.

But most of all...

He actually wants to marry ME!

There are many more reasons, some I can't think of right now, some that are a little too personal, but all I can say is that in one year, I will be marrying the love of my life.  It doesn't get much better than that!
