Scary Dr. Visit

I love you because you are going to the doctor with me today.

Couch Surfer

After enjoying 5 nights of Maddy being home, you will relinquish your couch for a real bed (Maddy's bed).  I'm so sorry for the snoring, weird breathing, kicking, sweating - wow, this sounds sexy - and burping, farting, etc...  It must really great to be my bed-mate.  I love you for putting up with 20 years of sharing sheets with me.

Everything

I love you because I already have everything (you). And hotel trips...

Sleepy in Seattle

I'm downstairs at breakfast, you're upstairs sleeping away. I love "Trip Joanna" even more than regular Joanna!!

Easter

I love you because you love The Lord, and also because you've made our home so beautiful for the holiday. Craft skills in full force!

Mother of Mr Patriot

I've always loved your patriotism, but never more than this night. I love you!

Sensitive

I love you because you are very sweet and sensitive. You cry at nice things.

Lilly

I love you because you gave me Lilly. 

Church

I love you because you're staring at me for being on my phone in church, because you don't know I'm doing this.

You approve of my love affair

I love you because you understand my dirty, scandalous love affair with Fenway Park even though I am a faithful Giants fan.  You don't judge me.  In fact, after having been there twice with me, I think you are also in on the affair.  Damn, I love going on trips with you, and Boston was a special trip.  Our family trip was FOUR years ago, and still a highlight of my life.  You make everything in my life better.  And you have sexy eyes.  I'm a rich man.

Sinatra

I love you because Frank sang all those songs about us.  This morning it is "Love is Here to Stay" - not for a year, baby, but forever and a day.  Why? Because I knew you "Where and When".  xo

artichokes

I love you because you make me artichokes for dinner, and still let me eat mayo.

ordain women

I love you because we agree about this, and the way we agree about this. 

Merry Christmas in April!

Today I love you because you made Christmas cookies for my seminary class (studying 3 Nephi 1).  Not really because of the cookies, which were yummy, but because I thought of it Thursday morning in class, blabbed it out to the students, then dumped it on you because I really didn't have time to do it, anyway.  So really, I love you because you're my steady back-up, partner in crime, co-star, etc...  Thanks for having my back.

because you make good toast

Nothing dramatic, but you made me a nice little toast and yogurt breakfast today and I love you for it.  I think you get extra points because you made it at 5:45AM!

Sexy Baseball Texts

I love you because you text me during games to gripe about bad calls that go against the Giants.

Arizona

I love you because, once again, you were very happy to see me take a fun trip with the boys.
