a few more quick ones 10 months ago

75. He even manages to look breathtakingly adorable when he has just woken up and is all rumpled.

76. He’s just so easygoing and low-maintenance.

77. He has a thousand different smiles and laughs, and few things are as rewarding as being responsible for eliciting such responses from him.

78. We bring out the best in each other.

79. He has known how to tie a tie for years.

a few more before work 10 months ago

67. He has met some of my extended family and not only talked to them for hours, but also got along so well one would think they were all old friends.

68. He still asks me to marry him and says he’s mine forever.

69. He’s let me shave him.

70. We’re at the point where it’s okay to leave the bathroom door open.

71. We both know we can vent about something (usually work or family related) that’s bothering us and know the other one won’t find it silly, and will actually offer to help or come up with advice.

72. We respect each other as journalists and can offer each other legitimate workplace advice.

73. Even a day at work is almost too long to be apart.

74. He doesn’t mind being the one who usually drives (even if it’s partly because my driving scares him).
