ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic list!
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's just awesome. Is this like an early valentine's day post or WHAT??? Really precious. Inspires me to love Kevin better, to appreciate all those little things he does for me.

Teri -- Your post that I read awhile back put the initial thought into my head. I of course think these things daily but wanted something written down and public. I do not thank or appreciate my husband enough. I don't know what I would do without him. Gratitude comes before the miracle...Ann Voskamp.
