Today marks mine and Todd's three-year wedding anniversary. It's been an awesome ride every step of the way, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Every single day when I say my prayers, I thank Heavenly Father for giving me Todd. He has made my life better in every way, and he has done so with incredible love, patience, good humor, and energy.

I could never begin to encapsulate my feelings into a few short words, but I do want to shout out a little brainstorming list:


Ten Things I Love About Todd

1. The gorgeous dimple that shows up when you smile.

2. Your amazing energy. The other night, we had friends over for a movie. You got cold and ran upstairs to get some socks. Steven said, "It seems like Todd does everything quickly. He's really quick about everything." And I replied, "Todd likes to say, 'Why walk when you can run?'"
You apply that same energy to everything you do - studying, cooking, taking care of me, whatever it may be.

3. You make me laugh every day. Sometimes it's your monkey imitations. Every once in a while, it's when you trap me in the bathroom, turn off the light, and when you turn it back on, your face is half and inch away from mine. Often it's just the way you tell about your day.

4. How you plan surprises for me. You make every occasion exciting.

5. Your wonderful hugs.

6. Your ambition. You're always working to be better tomorrow. You are such a hard worker.

7. The way you smell.

8. How you cuddle me at night. When we first got married, you didn't like it. Now you sleep better with your arm around me.

9. When you've had a great day at work, you come home, slam the door, drop your bags, and swoop over to me so you can tell me all about the exciting things you did that day.

10. The way you have not let one of our 1,095 days of marriage go by without telling me you loved me, and making sure I knew it was true.


Todd Bonner, I am so glad I'm your woman!
