50 Things I Love About My 50 Year Young Wife

In honor of my wife's 50th trip around the sun I'm sharing 50 things I love about her...

She bakes the best apple pies and cinnamon rolls
She brings me good and not harm
She can bake some mean breads

She can be "smexy" on short notice
She cares for her children well
She cares for my parents
She climbed the "M" with me

She does not drink...to excess
She doesn't have real pinky toes
She does not make me go dancing
She dresses me well…if I cooperate
She enjoys reading and learning

She fears the Lord
She fights through pain and suffering with grace
She forgives me even when I don't ask
She gets up while it is still dark to meet with God
She gives good advice to younger women and mothers
She goes to RV shows with me

She has noble character
She is an early riser
She is an excellent wife and mother
She is dignified and okay with grey
She is growing in confidence
She is my personal Holy Spirit
She is okay with staying home and not going out
She is the extravert to my introvert
She is the hostess with the mostess
She is trustworthy
She is wise and kind
She is worth far more than precious stones
She laughs at my jokes
She lets me light candles and build bonfires

She likes cats…especially Samoa
She listens to me
She loves Jesus
She makes the bed every morning
She makes the house our home
She married me
She only speaks well of me (that I know of)
She packs great snacks when we travel
She planted a vineyard and is cultivating a crop
She provides good and nourishing food
She raised two wonderful and productive children

She recovered from injury and set her career path early
She requires few expensive jewels
She shares with the poor and needy
She speaks my love language
She speaks with wisdom
She stays in shape
She walks and talks with me

Happy Birthday Victoria!
