Marriage Lists

Sometimes when I think, I like to think in the form of lists. Recently, I've been thinking about what Jeff and I gained in our marriage—the deeper, nitty gritty, if you will. :)

When I married Jeff, I gained . . .

• someone to kill undesirable (okay scary) insects and creepy crawlies;
• someone to go out to the shed during the night;
• someone to take out the trash;
• someone to enter the crawlspace;
• someone to be Jill's "horsey";
• someone to drive whenever we're both in the car;
• someone to bring "home the bacon," so I can stay at home;
• someone to give Priesthood blessings;
• someone to take me out on dates;
• someone to teach me patience;
• someone to always care about my day;
• someone to love;
• someone to reach the top cupboards; and
• someone to calm me down.

When Jeff married me, he got . . .

• more than he bargained for!!

Haha, okay, seriously, the real list. :)

When Jeff married me, he got . . .

• someone to birth babies;
• someone to nurture children;
• someone to make him breakfast and dinner;
• someone to do the dishes;
• someone to love;
• someone to clean his laundry;
• someone to teach him patience;
• someone to buy the groceries;
• someone to care about his day;
• someone to be his biggest cheerleader at any of his sporting events;
• someone to go to collegiate and professional sporting events with;
• someone to greet him at the end of the day;
• someone to write and mail all the birthday, thank you, and congratulations cards; and
• someone to remember birthdays.

So, who do you think got the better end of the deal?

I know, I know, we both made out like bandits!!
