30 Reason Why I Love Garrett Thomas Hamilton. - September 25, 2014

1. Your smile. Seriously, I couldn't ask for something more effulgent, and perfect. It's so big, expressive and perfectly shows off your beautiful teeth!
2. Your patience. I've seen this wonderful quality in action with yourself, others, different situations, but most of all with me. You never make me feel stupid as you carefully love me and teach me. 
3. Dude you car is really rad. Although your sweet ride is not the reason that I'm swearing my loyalty to you, it's a definite bonus;)
4. How you can dance!!! This is UNBELIEVABLY attractive. You can dance to anything... your body is always so in synch with the music booming behind you and you smile the entire time. 
5. How you get nervous. I remember on our first date you told me you could play piano. I asked you to play something for me and you did. I giggled as I saw your hands shake. Garrett, I think this shows me that you are thoughtful and humble.
6. Your laugh. I actually really like the way it sounds! I like how it always ends with a gasp for air because you invest your whole breathe to those moments of joy. Its always contagious. 
7. You speak spanish!!! I had always hoped I'd marry somebody who spoke spanish, but I thought that was a long shot. Not only do you speak spanish, but you served in Argentina!!! You are making my dreams a reality dude. 
8. The way you dress. It's just right. You always look put together and handsome. Although I still hope you let me take ya shopping, I'm not taking you because I am unhappy with how you look. You look so hot in V-necks. I love the shoes you wear. I LOVE it when you wear jeans. Man...
9. How thoughtful you are. Your carefulness to plan things, say things and love me makes me feel like a queen. One moment I remember this trait so vividly was when you planned a picnic for us. As i turned to look in the back of your car our meal was carefully packed into a lunch bag and the blanket was perfectly folded and placed on the seat. That same day you surprised me with a mix CD that was full of songs that were a part of our friendship, that were mushy and cute, that were from our favorite movie and that made me happy. 
10. The way you are engaged in all that you do. How you raise your hand to share your thoughts in Sunday School. How you played sports growing up. How you danced and sang in high school. 
11. How you make people around you feel. You always try to find common ground with everyone you talk to and I think you do this to help them feel like you care. They feel comfortable enough to keep talking to ya and I've noticed that people smile as they get to talk to you. 
12. I've never heard you say something mean or unnecessary about others. Seriously. You always are considerate of everybody and that is evident in the way you talk about them.
13. The way you keep some things personal. As I've come to really get to know  you, you've only told me a few intimate things about yourself that I'm pretty sure you haven't told anybody else. Your carefulness to share these treasures has made me feel important and trusted. Thank you. 
14. The way you and I always have so much fun together. We laugh like all the time. We can make anything fun. Whether its a trip to Wal-Mart or a Paramore concert doesn't matter, I can always count on having a lot of fun with you.
15. The way you are uber cheesy. Your love is so tender and genuine. I love that you want to journal our love story. I love that when you asked me to be your girlfriend you gave me a bracelet you bought from your mission. I love the way you slow dance with me. I love that you text me as soon as you wake up. 
16. How you take such good care of yourself. The way your long hours spent at the gym sculpt your muscles. The way you cut your own hair. The way you never smell weird... hehe ;)
17. The way you lose yourself in the spirit as you honestly intend the best for us. Your honest insight of important matters is always entwined with the gospel. You don't even think about what to say sometimes because I think your spirit is so willing to trust the Lord's will. 
18. How you kiss me. There are so many different ways to kiss me: romantically, carefully, lightly, kinda sexy sometimes and maybe even a little silly. This expression of our love is intimate and special to me. I love that I get to have you all to myself. I'm so lucky.
19. The way you are careful with your hands when you kiss me. This may sound weird... but I know that you always pull my shirt to cover my skin. You aren't like every other guy who would slide their hand in places where they shouldn't be, even if it primarily an accident. I know that you respect me.
20. The way you say you know the words to songs and you kinda don't :) This always makes me giggle. You always listen for the last word in the sentence and then you sing that last word louder than the rest. Whenever you do this it makes me feel like you are trying to impress me. Makes me feel somebody worth impressing.
21. Your relationship with your family. You love them so much. I know you do. You spend time with and look up to Jason. You give Katelyn blessings and tell me about her roommate drama. The way you and your mom visit and talk about everything. The way you talk so kindly and gently about Jocelyn. The way you want to be like your dad and how you value his insight. The way you love them makes me confident in our future family.
22. The way you always listen. I can tell you anything. I can always count on you responding appropriately. You laugh when I tell you about my crazy roommates and you apologize when life makes me cry. 
23. Your arms. Holy cow. So hot. So sexy. So toned. So defined. So strong. And I'm lucky enough to be enclosed in them whenever you hug me. 
24. The way you dream and hope. You are so innocent with the way you desire for good things in your life. You giggle and get so excited whenever we talk about our future together. 
25. How you are so quick to just believe in faith. The details and logistics of our relationship never outweigh the excitement of loving each other. How we figure things out doesn't matter as much because no matter what we do we get to be together. And I think thats what matters most to you. 
26. You cleanliness. Both temporally and morally. You take care of things like you car, your apartment and yourself. But you also nurture your spirit by the way you avoid things that are not right and how you never swear. 
27. Your sensitivity. I love that you let yourself feel emotions, but you always do it with the intention to remain positive. You are the master of your own heart, but that doesn't mean your heart isn't big.
28. Your eyes. They change from brown to hazel to green. They are beautiful. I get to look inside them forever.
29. Your ambition towards hard work. You always conquer whatever is asked of you: long days at work, your determination towards school, the intensity of your workouts and in your career.
30. The way you love me. So selflessly.
