8 Years

Holy cow how it flies by so fast. This last week Joel and I celebrated 8 yrs of marriage. We celebrated the whole week basically because we have crazy schedules. Our Anniversary really fell on Tuesday the 7th but we weren't able to go out to Dinner until Saturday. So we just had fun all week long.
So here are 8 things I love about Joel:
1) He makes me Laugh
2) He is so kind to everyone. Especially the Elderly. He always melts my heart to when we visit my mom in the Nursing Home. He is just so loving and gentle.
3) He is great with children. I know he will make a great daddy one day.
4) He helps everyone out. The guy is a workhorse. He will have worked 3 twelve hour shifts (which end up really being about 13 to 14hr shifts by the time paperwork gets done and he drives home)Remember these are night shifts also. Then he will come home and help others with things before he even gets sleep. He always makes it to his church meetings even though he could easily stay home and sleep. I just think he is amazing.
5)Even though we have a lot of different likes I think he makes a really cute fisherman. (I hate fishing and never go with the poor guy)
6) He lets me do my thing. He even will learn about my projects. For example he learns craft terms. Ric Rac, Rub-ons Embellishments. You get the point.
7) I love how he loves everything Brazil. Since he served his mission there he has fallen in love with that place, the people the food and the music. That would hands down be one of our top memories together visiting Brazil for two weeks.
8) He is the perfect man for me. I love him more and more every year we are together.
