wonderful husbands!

jared got into reading blogs the other night when we were at the fredericks. he said "how come you never blog anything nice about me?" so here it goes girlies (and guys).....................

where do i start?

hmmmm?

ummmmmm?

what to say.......

oh yeah,

he is an absolutely wonderful dad! he is great to help get them up and out the door. he has to do this by himself 3 times a week. he is probably better at it than me. he takes them hunting with him all the time. plays games with them. lets them play with their toys wherever they want to, whether he steps on a thousand little hot wheels or stubs his toe on a tractor.

he helps me cook. he can cook the best fried taters!

he will eat anything i make and not complain about it. except for that one time when i tried making gravy for the first time, but the dogs wouldn't even eat it so, i can't be mad at him for that one:)

he is a very hard worker! sometimes this drives me really crazy because i just want to lay around and be lazy and he thinks i need to get up and help him. ughhhhh!

he CAN be romantic, but not very often. the two times that really stick out in my head are: on our anniversary one year i went into the bathroom and he had taken shaving cream and wrote 'Happy Anniversary Babe' on the bathroom mirror. he never remembers birthdays or even an anniversary so this was a very big sweet surprise for me. the other one is on thanksgiving night we played the newlywed game. one of the questions was about your husbands romance. my answer to that was "he doesn't know how to romance". he answered that one correctly and we got ourselves 20 points. he made it home before me that night and when i walked into our bedroom he had candles lit and everything ready! what a sweet man. so see he can be romantic if he wants to be.

i think that is it for now. i do have a great man and i do take him for granted a lot of the time. and don't you tell him i said that:)

That was the sweetest thing. You know I think we all take our husbands for granted from time to time, but they too take us for granted. We all need to slow down in life and appericate the things that we have around us.
