He sounds like a one in a million, does he read the blog? He should definintely read that bit…
Yayyyy!!!! Give him a big kiss on the nose and tell him he’s lucky to have you!
*sniffle* I’d say I want one like him, but I’m marrying my own version of wonderful in 15 days! It’s very cool that you are able to recognize what you have and able to share it with the world (and presumably the DH). Congrats to you both. 🙂
What a good Mate.
What does MILF mean?
He sounds like a good man even if he is a Kings fan 🙂
What a nice tribute for no special reason!
Finding someone who you can appreciate for his/her goodness and who appreciates you back is a rare gift. I have a husband like that and it’s worth more than all the money in the world. He tells me that we’re rich where it counts and I believe him.
He rocks. But we knew that already.
Great post – and a great Mate, mate! I’d say he was a keeper – definitely don’t trade him in on a couple of 20ish year olds!
Go MILFs!
Awww, this is sweet. I like this post. 🙂
