This man of mine...

Although I don't do it nearly enough, I love to brag on my husband. I got me a good'un y'all. He is the perfect compliment to me and totally completes my life.

He's a hard worker. Really hard. He has an amazing work ethic and enjoys his job and co-workers. Sometimes his drive to be perfect can cause him to get frustrated. He always keeps his nose to the grindstone and gets the job done. He doesn't like for people to be disappointed in him and that encourages him to always get better. He's inspired and instilled the same ethic in our kids. Work hard so you can play hard. Don't give up, finish the job, pull your weight and help someone if you can.

He's helped me and stood by me as I've grown into the me I am today. By trusting me, he's taught me to trust myself. By loving me, he's helped me love myself. By being honest with me, (even the hard things to say) he's allowed me to be my most honest self.

He had been gentle with my heart and always protected it. That is an incredible gift. He's allowed me to be open and transparent. He's given me chance after chance after I'd made many stupid mistakes. He gives me his heart to hold, trusts me with it even though I haven't always been careful with it. His heart is a never-ending fountain of love and compassion. It makes you feel good just being around him.

I've said all this to say..I am SO blessed! I mentioned to him in passing today that I was going to clean up the kitchen and mop the floor. I came inside from another chore and smelled the floor cleaner and he was mopping! My heart melted! This is not the first time he's done more than his share of the chores but he also got up this morning, got the girls ready, dropped Reiley off and then took Shel to her dentist appointment and then back to school.

I don't know how I got so lucky to have him in my life but he is such a blessing!

tl;dr Praising husband, lovey-dovey stuff, man in the kitchen is superdad, he's the best.
