anniversary

Dear Hudson,

Five years ago today, I married your daddy. It was the best day of my life. We were only starting to dream about the family we would create. We had no idea that five years later we would have a Hudson. I love your daddy so much. There's so much I love about him, but here's 50 things I love the most.

1. He loves being your daddy 2. He asks often when he gets to wrestle with you 3. He still opens the car door for me 4. He loves trying new things (like running and brewing beer) 5. He loves to be outdoors hiking or camping 6. He faithfully meets with the TT guys 7. He knows a ton about movies 8. He likes all kinds of music but only plays the stuff I like when I'm around 9. He rubs my feet 10. When I was pregnant, he would put his hand on my belly when we were riding in the car 11. He built me a porch swing 12. He's great at his job 13. He hugs everybody 14. He takes you when you're fussy in the morning so I can sleep longer 15. He buys me flowers 16. His hair 17. His dad sense of humor 18. He hates wearing real shoes 19. He takes the garbage out 20.
