Happy Anniversary!

Today is Jed and my sixth wedding anniversary. So, I would like to recount 6 special ways in which my husband is dear to me. Here goes:

1) He is a true Food Lover. A foodie, if you will. Now, I know - lots of people love food, you say. Well, I find that many people say they are, but then they list off all the foods they dislike and sometimes I am left wondering what it is they do eat. Jed is adventuresome with food. He enjoys cooking. He loves venturing with me into cuisines unknown. We are truly a perfect match in this regard. I can think of only 2 foods that he has ever said he disliked - peas (now he loves them) and raisins (to his credit he will eat them if they are baked into muffins or cookies, though he still considers them a waste of a grape). Some of my favorite memories with him involve our food ventures (lots successful, though a few very memorable mishaps).

2) He is Artistic. Whether it be in acting, photographing, brainstorming stories with me, video making, telling jokes, or creating something with his hands - he inspires me. His drive for creation, his vision for projects, and his encouragement for me when I am unsure is unwavering. He is a visionary - always doubting, always striving for something better. His flame fuels my fire.

3) He is Courageous. He sees something he wants, and he goes after it. It has served him well at work, where he continues to seek any and all training in his field. Even though he is one of the youngest techs at work, he is often asked to train others, or to head up projects. It served him well when he decided to buy a house at 22. And let's be honest - it paid off when he got to marry me, right? ha ha

4) He is fun-loving. A natural entertainer. The life of the party. Need I say more?

5) He is Dedicated. To me. To our children. Some of it may be pure stubbornness, but then that makes two of us.

6) He is Supportive. Not only in the literal sense, but also in the take-the-time-to-find-what-you-love, and I-believe-in-you-and-your-ability, and I-may-not-understand-it-or-agree-but-okay-I'm-right-there-beside-you sense. Who could ask for more?

I love you Honey. Thank you for all you do. Happy Anniversary!
