As I sat in the passenger seat of our car, I found myself frantically typing on my phone. We were en route to celebrate our seven-year wedding anniversary, and amidst the whirlwind of caring for our energetic toddler and our newborn, I had completely forgotten to pick up a card. Feeling a pang of guilt, I decided to jot down my thoughts in the Notes app instead. My husband, Kyle, might’ve thought I was distracted, but I felt compelled to express my feelings before dinner. Though it was a last-minute gesture, it was genuine.
Once we arrived at the restaurant and settled in, I pulled out my phone and shared my list with him. Here are seven things I adore about Kyle after seven wonderful years of marriage:
-
You Improve Everything You Touch
After you took my car for errands today, I couldn’t help but notice how spotless it was and how it smelled divine, thanks to the coconut air freshener you knew I’d love. Your obsession with cleanliness isn’t just tolerable; it’s downright charming and inspires me to keep things organized, even though I sometimes feel tempted to mess with your system. -
You Always Know How to Make Me Laugh
Even amidst the chaos of parenting, you have the ability to crack me up just like you did on our first date at that cozy seafood restaurant. I remember nearly losing it that night, and despite my near embarrassment, you just kept the laughter coming. That’s when I knew you were a keeper! -
The Kids Adore You
Seeing our little ones light up when you walk into the room fills my heart with joy. Our baby, Leo, may be tiny, but his eyes sparkle when you’re around. And Penelope? She idolizes you. Watching that special bond between you two is one of my greatest joys. -
Your Passion Is Contagious
Your fiery spirit is one of the reasons I fell in love with you. You’re the extrovert to my introvert, and even when I feel overwhelmed, your enthusiasm is invigorating. I might zone out when you come home bursting with stories, but I still appreciate your desire to share everything with me—please keep that energy flowing! -
We Balance Each Other
The last couple of years have thrown us curveballs—job changes, new arrivals, and plenty of challenges. Yet, we manage to lift each other up like a seesaw. When one of us feels down, the other steps in to elevate our spirits. -
You’re a Hustler
Your dedication to your work is truly admirable. It’s like you have a constant stream of ideas running in the background, even when you appear to be taking a break. Thankfully, you’re receptive when I remind you to take it easy, and you do the same for me, which shows how well we understand each other. -
Your Thoughtfulness Shines Through
No matter the occasion, from anniversaries to small milestones, you always make an effort to commemorate them in a special way—not through extravagance, but by showing genuine thoughtfulness. I cherish that you appreciate my spontaneous notes, even if they are hastily typed on my phone while rushing to dinner.
As I wrapped up reading my list, I noticed the emotion in Kyle’s eyes. It reminded me that sometimes, the simplest gestures can convey the deepest feelings. It’s not about the glittery greeting cards but the heartfelt words exchanged, regardless of how they’re delivered.
Maybe one day, when life isn’t a constant juggle of snacks, diapers, and playdates, we’ll return to those fancy cards. For now, what truly matters are the sentiments that express our love for one another.
