Nixon: Now More Than Ever

So…Sunday was James’ 37th birthday. I had planned on posting this then but I was too busy doing other little things to try and make his day special. So…since he left for Vegas today I now have plenty of time.

In honor of his birthday, I have decided to share 37 of the countless things I love about him. Any single men out there reading this…take note. This is how to make a woman fall in love. Everyday. For the rest of her life. Single women: expect no less.

8. his love of good food
9. he makes me feel safe

18. he indulges my absolute love of surprises
19. he thinks I am a fabulous cook (there’s no denying the truth here…)

21. he can’t stand it when we’re apart
22. he believes in me
