I read Ree from the Pioneer Woman the other day and how she and her Marlboro Man were different. You can read her list here . It got me to pondering....hmmmm....what would my list look like....
1. He doesn't mind his clothes on the floor.
I don't mind mine folded neatly in drawers and hanging on hangers in closets.
2. He loves to hunt. . .animals
I love to hunt. . . for a good book.
3. He loves to sit in a canoe for hours and fish.
I love to sit in a chair for hours and read a good book.
4. He puts the toilet paper roll on backwards
I put it on forwards .
5. He eats his cereal holding the spoon hand over handle.
I eat with my hand under the handle.
6. He doesn't like to read out loud.
I do.
7. He learns EVERYTHING about the camera and takes gorgeous pictures.
I just want to know where the on, off button is and have half way decent pictures.
8. He likes his bacon chewy
I like mine crispy.
9. He sneezes WAY, WAY loud.
I sneeze quietly and delicately.
10. When asked to cut a slice of pizza in half, he cuts width way. (What's up with that?)
I cut it length ways.
11. He walks through the grass barefoot. . .and gets grass-stained feet.
I walk through the grass with flip flops on. . .and have clean feet.
12. He's a hamburger and fries kinda guy.
I'm more a pasta alfredo gal.
13. He likes vanilla ice cream.
I like the other 30 flavors.
14. He listens to Ricky Nelson in the car.
I listen to Josh Groban
15. He has a great memory.
What were we talking about?
Oh yeah! We were counting. Here's a number
I like better. . .
31
the number of years we've been married. The differences don't make a bit of difference if you have the #1 reason for a good marriage. . . Christ at the head. I'll be honest with you here though. . .some of the differences did annoy me years ago, maybe even a few years ago. But you know what? I have a good man and I figured out those annoying little things don't matter. I've decided about that strand of three chords we have. . .I don't want to fray it with petty things. Speaking of petty. . .
Here is a tip for a good marriage. . .
Here is a tip for a good marriage. . .
If your spouse puts the roll on wrong,
just turn it over yourself and remain quiet;)
ONE MORE THING:
I want to give a shout out to my husband. . .
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HON!
I'm so glad you decided to take those feet of yours and walk down the marriage isle with me and right into 31 years of marriage. . .so far.
I would not want to walk this life with anyone else.
I love sitting in the porch swing with you , you eating your vanilla ice cream, me with orange sherbert.
My flip flops entwined with your grass stained feet. . .
a match made in Heaven.
I love you. . .differences and all!

I misread your first paragraph and thought the list on your blog WAS her's. As I was reading it, I thought...this sounds JUST like Kris!! Fortunately, I looked back and saw the "you can read her list HERE" and figured out it WAS your list! Silly me! But I loved it anyway! Such sweet thoughts. And a marriage that is such a blessing to me! Love you both!
Enjoyed this a lot. Happy Birthday to your husband.
So sweet! =) Happy Birthday to hubby!
This was really cool and hubby and I will have been married 31 years as well! I just may have to steal this for my blog!
I love this! Beautiful tribute to your husband and the real strength that holds you two together! Praising God for your 31 years! Love, Rachael
Happy Anniversary and over 31 years I would say you are used to each other in a good way!
Thanks for sharing at "Tell Me a Story."
Great post! And happy birthday to your husband! Nice tribute and yeah, I've finally been trained in the ways of toilet paper installations...
Happy Happy 31!!! Opposites attract - don't they - maybe that's what helps keep marriage balanced:) We'll be celebrating our 30th:) Wishing you 31 more!
How awesome for 31 years! My husband just had a birthday as well and I did a little post about his birthday!
Awww...beautiful. I love what you said about not allowing petty things to fray the strand of three chords. So true. Blessings...
Well, you made me chuckle. And, my husband actually does the better stuff than I do. He's different.
So happy you are happy. So happy you are blessed together.
