2. He dresses nice and always matches.

3. He has a wonderful smile.

4. He adapts well to change.

5. He dances like a maniac.

6. He loved his mission and keeps in touch with most of his companions. Now some of their wives are my close friends.

14. He's the best person to take a road trip with... and believe me, we have had our fair share. He insists on driving the whole time (which I love) and we always have the best 4-5 hour conversations (which I love even more.)

23. He takes very good care of his personal possessions… (for example, he cleans his shoes with a toothbrush!)

24. He NEVER yells.. ever. Not at me or our kids.

25. He rarely gets mad (or frustrated) about anything.

26. He makes pretend pancakes and scrambled eggs with the little girls in nursery. (All the kids prefer him to me and some of them even cry when he leaves the room.)

28. He makes me laugh out loud everyday.. (refer to #5)

29. He’s the most humble person I know.
