1) Hubby.

– Married 17 years and counting, together for more than 26.

– My best friend. Amazingly hard worker. Great at sharing parenting. Proud to be his wife.

– The day I fell in love with him: He took what I considered my character flaws and spun each around into something desirable. Wow, most romance novels aren’t that good!
