Live Like You Were Dying

So, at church, we are doing a sermon and small group series on the Tim McGraw song "Live Like You Were Dying." This series and the accompanying study has been an awesome opportunity for the two of us to talk through our thoughts on love, forgiveness, etc. We have really tried to leverage the series and what is happening in our lives to draw closer together and closer to God. It's amazing what God does and what He reveals to you when you seek Him.

Anyway, with that in mind (and inspired a bit by the Facebook phenomenon of 25 things about me), I have put together a list of 25 things that I love about my wife.

1. The way her face scrunches up when she can’t stop laughing at something
2. She lets me call her “wife”
3. We almost never fight about what to watch on TV because we share a sense of humor and both love sports
4. She’s always there when I really need her
5. She tries to be strong for me even when I know she’s a wreck inside
6. Our taste in music is so similar that it’s almost scary
7. She took care of me when I could barely do anything for myself
8. She’s not afraid to kick me in the butt when I need it
9. She reminds me what “love deeper” means
10. She remembers everyone’s birthdays, holidays, etc. so that I don’t have to
11. She is an awesome gift-giver, who often buys me and others things they wouldn’t even think they would want, but then end up loving
12. She is incredibly humble
13. Despite her humility, she is incredibly competitive
14. She knows infinitely more about the human body than I can ever dream to
15. She is very low-maintenance
16. When she’s not pregnant, she loves to try new beers with me
17. She’s always up for an adventure, as long as it doesn’t interfere with naptime
18. She’s a sneaky good cook
19. She can’t ride in a car for more than about 10 minutes without sleeping
20. I feel like we live out 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 every day
21. She never drags me to girly movies
22. She enjoys having “her money,” but still calls me or asks for my permission for big purchases
23. She has an addicting personality, which she can use for good or evil
24. Despite all of my faults, mistakes, etc., she’s always been there for me and will never leave me
25. When she agreed to marry me on February 13, 2005, she made me the luckiest man on Earth that day and every single day since
