42 Reasons Why I Love Him

Well I have been really wanting to dedicate one post just to my Husband. A few months ago I was tagged by my sister with a post about husbands. I promptly began drafting my reply and then my computer shut down. I was frustrated and then life just got in the way, so now that it is Richard's birthday tomorrow I am going to make an attempt to say a few things about him. Since he is now 42 I am going to title this "42 reasons why I love him"
1. He loves me.
2. He loves Faith
3. He loves Malachi
4. He loves Hope
5. He loves Ephraim
6. He loves Gideon
