Why I love Jeremy

I have never done a post purely about Jeremy, and I plan to remedy that right now! If I had a scanner some of these pictures would be better, but they're still adorable none the less. And now, "Why I Love Jeremy." Enjoy!

I love Jeremy because he's goofy.
Really though, I need goofy. I need someone that is witty, can make me laugh, and will laugh with me. Anyone who knows Jeremy knows his talent of teasing. It does not always come out at the best time, but it usually lightens the mood and helps us laugh and grow together.

I love that he loved his mission.
...and served an amazing one at that. Missionaries constantly come up to me at mission reunions, weddings, etc. and tell me what a stud he was and how many people he helped and brought the gospel to. He has such a strong and special testimony of the gospel, and I am so grateful for it.

I love that our kids are going to look like him.
He has gotten cuter the longer I've known him, and he has the most adorable little boy pictures I've ever seen.

I love his love for thrills and sports.
...although I can often be heard saying "Please be careful!" as he's leaving to do something. He is really talented at wakeboarding and snowboarding, and gets better at surfing everyday. He likes to do a lot of other crazy things too.

I love that he likes to watch the same sports I do.
We love soccer and college football (and UFC of course).

I love that he likes to play with kids.
He is a great uncle to his nieces and nephews and our friends' kids, which leaves no doubt in my mind about what a great dad he will be someday.

I love that he lets my sister be my best friend too.
...and that there's no competition and we can all be friends together. Along with this, I'm so glad he gets along so well with our brother-in-law, and also that he loves my crazy family.

I love that he loves me.
...enough to do a lot of things, one of which was to buy a Disneyland pass with me even though he said he didn't really like Disneyland (but I know he does!).

And so many more...

Beach Sisters, then, and then, and now...

I didn't mean to have back-to-back "then and now"s but this post was prompted by a comment Abby left on the newest picture of Arica and I on facebook. Curiously enough I always seem to be on the right in these pictures...hmmm.

Disneyland, then and now...

I decided that I thoroughly enjoy "then and now" comparisons with pictures. From my first time to my most recent visit at Disneyland you can see that little has changed, I am always so happy! Jeremy had to go to a convention at the Disneyland Hotel yesterday, and knowing how much I love Disneyland he let me tag along. After he was done, we splurged and got season passes so that we can enjoy Disneyland for a whole year. My family used to get them every year when I was in high school, and I've missed that the last few years. Now I can go anytime with my love!

Jerm and Abbs, then and now...

...well more recently anyway. I love them!
