Marvin,

I love how amazing of a father you are to Austin.
I love how you can always put a smile on Austin’s face when he sees you.
I love that you know how to cook, bake, grill, saute really delicious foods.
I love that you are my outfit pics photographer.
I love your kisses and cuddles before bedtime.
I love how intelligent, witty and confident you are.
I love how we can be so silly together sometimes (and Austin too).
I love it when you call me a goofball.
I love how you are always there for me when I am down.
I love how great of a gift giver you are.
I love that you are so handy around and outside of the house.
I love the way I feel when I am in your arms.

Love,
Sandy

    That’s a lovely letter/poem about your husband. Every girl should feel like that with their significant other, and I do with my husband. It’s gonna be our 3rd anniversary this year also, but in June. Congratulations on your 3rd year anniversary, may you feel loved always. Beautiful photos all around. Thanks for sharing, Sandy.
