So it is Valentine's day and Leisha gave me the one thing I wanted most...we didn't do anything! I know, I know, I am a total slacker, but I am feeling pretty stressed with this whole "master's thesis" thing, and Leisha feels pretty stressed with the whole "baby inside her belly" thing. So I am extremely happy that we were able to just enjoy the day without putting a lot of thought into it. Anyway, I didn't want Leisha to feel like I had forgotten her on this day, so here goes why I love Leisha...
Most of you don't know, but Leisha and I were talking about marriage 2 weeks after we started dating! Even that early I knew Leisha was the one. (or at least I thought I did...)
Leisha has always made me a happier person. (look how skinny I was! Leisha looks about the same now...except for the baby strapped to her belly...)
Leisha is freakishly strong...
...and fearless (I mean, it is a moose after all...)
Leisha was crazy enough to marry me!
She loves to travel and will go anywhere with me.
I know this is a picture of me, but it demonstrates Leisha's tolerance of my strange ideas...such as growing out my hair...
She always makes me laugh, like the time she lost both her flip flops trying to jump over a little stream by the ocean.
She has a very pretty neck don't you think?
and the best smile.
Once again the sense of humor...
We have driven across the country 4 times now! I can't imagine anyone else who would have agreed to such a crazy idea.
She is the best mother and is so full of love.
I couldn't resist the opportunity of making 3 Chlarsons mad at me at once...
Leisha has the prettiest blue eyes (this picture doesn't do them justice at all) and has passed the trait on to Emma as well.
Although she doesn't do it often in Washington, I love Leisha's wavy hair. Must be the Dutch in her...
We really have been all over the place.
Love those blue eyes!
...and the smile...
It is hard to tell sometimes, but she also has the cutest freckles!
You can see them here a little better (nice face Emma...)
Gettysburg!
She loves me enough to even go to France and help me collect data for my thesis!
She loves Emma so much.
She is also a good looking redhead...
...but an even better blond...
I know she hates this picture, but I love it. She has that little smile that says "you better put down that camera!"
And other times she really loves the spotlight!
There are so many reasons I love Leisha. Most of them I can't really explain. Many are the little things she says and does. Most of all I love Leisha because she loves me and everyone else. She is the most loving person I know (I think she got it from her dad, who is the second most loving person I know). There is nobody I would rather spend eternity with. I love you Leisha! Happy Valentine's day!
