40 REASONS WHY YOU ARE AWESOME AND AMAZING

You never get tired of hearing from your spouse how awesome and amazing you are.

awesome and amazing

It’s the verbal affirmation that you are being the best spouse you can to them. Plus, who doesn’t like to be told they’re awesome and amazing.

I walked into the house after a long, 100 mile, birthday bike ride. The start of a new decade as I turned the BIG 4-0.

As sweat dripped down my face and I began to catch my breath I was greeted by Alisa and the kids.

They cornered me in the kitchen, where I was preparing my recovery smoothie, with smiles from ear-to-ear. I knew something was up, but what I didn’t know. It was then that they presented me with a sheet of paper.

A white 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper where each one of them wrote down why I’m an awesome and amazing husband and father.

As I stood there reading each one out loud, I would guess who it was and sometimes they would tell me who it was. We laughed, smiled, and I even got teary eyed.

Here’s what they wrote:
