I LOVE JOSHUA E LARSEN!!!!!

On a Thursday night in Sept. 2005 Joshua blindfolded me and took me out to Quail lake where he proposed to me using a list of 53 reasons why he loved me. That Christmas, not wanting to be outdone and also wanting him to know I loved him too, I wrote him a letter with 54 reasons why I loved him. LOL I have revised the list and I wanted to share them with everyone so ALL can know that I love him to pieces. Remember that some of these things were only pertinent to the time I wrote it but not necessarily now and there are some that are similar but seemed different to me at the time I also added a few couple down at the bottom.
