Reason #14
He comforts me when I have a migraine and makes me smile, joking about how when he makes his first million he is going to send me to House to have me fixed.
Reason #13
He takes my opinions and responses to things seriously. This makes me feel loved, safe, important and worthwhile. It is quite possibly the best thing anyone can do for another person.
Reason #12
He knows exactly what I wanted for my birthday even when I didn’t.
Thank you for an amazing birthday, Buggins!
Reason #11
He watches CNBC shows with me before bed without even mentioning how lame and old persony they are.
Reason #10
He speaks in a secret code with me even when it is sickenly cutesy.
Reason #9
He drives the 10+ hours back from vacation because I spent the last night with food poisoning and lets me nap almost half the time. He cares for me when I am gross and sick and makes me feel so valuable and important.
Reason #8
In the wake of my grandfather’s death he gave me everything I needed, love, affection, tears, food, support and space. He is a wonderful man and a perfect partner.
I love you, Buggins.

Reason #7
When I lose an earring he moves the bed and searches through the sheets and when he can’t find it he searches on ebay for the exact match.
Reason #6
When a huge clap of thunder wakes me up in the middle of the night with such force that it causes me to burst into tears, he turns over in his sleep, without even realizing it or remembering it the next morning, and whispers to me telling me it will be alright and that he is right there holding me.
Reason #5
He calls me to check with our schedule before he makes any major time comittments. It really makes me feel like I’m in a partnership and that he appreciated the time I put into organizing our schedule.
Reason #4
He pretends to be Macy’s Day parade balloons with me, slightly swelling up and down as we float to each other with our hands outstretched and blank smiles on our faces.
Reason #3
He orders me pizza because of my apparent crippling phobia of making any financial transactions via the phone.
Reason #2
He turns into a heat factory at night and keeps me warm when I snuggle up to his back.
Reason #1
He tickles my back every night without fail as we lay in bed (even if there is a little grumbling first.)
What is a "Buggins?"
A buggins is any member of the Crouster household, and this tumblr is to chronicle daily the reasons I love my husband, Buggins the Big, because he deserves to know each and every day how much he means to me.
