10 reasons (in no particular order) why Kristen is the best wife I've ever had :-)
1)She is beautiful when she wakes up in the morning, even without any makeup.
2)She takes the time and energy to find what is best for her and/or her family even if it goes against conventional wisdom.
3)She is not afraid to tell me when I am being an "arse."
4)She forgives me for my all too frequent forays into being an "arse."
5)She pushes herself outside of her comfort zone, and occasionally drags me along with her, forcing us both to grow and become better people.
6)She usually doesn't take life too seriously.
7)When my jokes are so incredibly funny that no one else gets them, she still does,and sometimes even laughs(sometimes with me, and sometimes at me)
8)She likes to organize.
9)She has an appreciation for beauty in even it's most obscure manifestations.
10)Last but certainly not least...The Simpsons.
I love you very much Kristen. Thank you for putting up with me.

Gary, I expected you to leave a witty, sarcastic remark, not this beautiful tribute. Thanks for proving my point: you are amazing!
Happy Birthday, Gary!
Ahh you guys are a little sickening with the mushy stuff... lol but it's sweet at the same time.
I am glad you are both so happy to have each other, it is great when your spouse can also be your best friend!
Here's to great husbands!!!
