    Awww! I loved this!
    Happy Anniversary to you both!
    Many of the things you stated are so endearing.. and much like my own husband..

    So FUN that your hubby irons too! Mine does it for me.. I HATE ironing.
    It's the worst.

    So cute! Happy Anniversary!
    And I must say I love that he irons and I used to get mad at Mike when we first got married because I just assumed all men would iron my clothes on Sunday mornings :-). I have yet to train him at it though.
    And I think my favorite thing is the silly songs and Christmas carols he sings all year though!

    I didn't want you to feel left out though...I love how selfless you are and that you ALWAYS are thinking of others - especially me and my kids. I sometimes take it for granted until I'm around people who don't and then I realize how often you put others before yourself. And I love your cute decorating for the holidays...you are my idol ;-)!

    Wow Kelley Anne! I appreciate your kind and generous comments. As everyone knows, you are a wonderful, loving and patient person. I don't have a blog to share my thoughts about you, but I could easily list as many reasons why the past 30 years with you have been a "Wonderful Life".

    Thanks for being there for me all the time.

    I love you,

    Mark
