You're the One that I Want, you are the One I want, ooh ooh ooh!

I saw a Facebook post today of all days that urged folks to make realistic anniversary and wedding announcements rather than the mushy, gushy, sappy ones Hallmark sells. Their example:

Ha! Well, thankfully, we're not in debt, so a few realistic words from my heart to his, on this, our 16th year as husband and wife.


You're the one I want grilling my steaks on Saturday nights.

You're the one I want at the finish line of all my races.

You're the one I want to tell each kid, "go ask your Dad."

You're the one I want changing the oil in my van.

You're the one I peel potatoes for, even though Ore-Ida has already done it for us in the frozen food section.

You're the one I want coaching my kids, whether it's on the sidelines or at third base.

You're the one I want to share my bank accounts with.

You're the one I want to share my passwords with. Two brains are better than one when it comes to I-tunes, Suntrust, etc.

You're the one I want to play, er lose, tennis with on lazy Sundays when you'd rather be watching golf.

You're the one I want to laugh with, because you still know what makes me chuckle.

You're the one I want to steal a quick dinner with now that we have a pretty reliable babysitter in the house.

You're my date to Home Depot, my secret- holder, my frustration release, my pinterest guinea pig.

You are my husband and my best friend and the world's greatest dad and the hardest working man I know.

You're the one I call mine, yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever.

And I love you, Coach Kirk!
Short shorts and all!
