It all started with him serving me the best chai lattes and my addiction to caffeine and quiet places to study. And here we are 12 years later and the poor guy is still serving me. Not just chai's (but sometimes still chai...), but...everything.
Picture
He is at work before most are out of bed and works long days and puts delicious meals on the table.

He is strong - strong enough to lay down his own desires. Strong enough to get off the couch and onto the floor to build another track, or crash another hotwheel, or dance with a pretty princess. Strong enough to never be too tired for the most important things.

He is brave enough to put up with the fiercest of temper tantrums. Even mine.

He is generous with his complements.

Oh, and then there was that time he (re)built us a home... while working full time...because it had to be done. And he delivered. As he always does.

He's my man and I am mighty lucky to have him.


STOP.

Wow! Sounds like you've got a "keeper"! Beautiful the way you write about him and see him.

    About

    I'm a blog-at-home mom who writes because my sanity depends on it. I'm a Jesus-lover, family gal, coffee addict, recovering hoarder in a small New England town that bears a suspiciously close resemblance to "Stars Hallow" (and if you know where that is, we're friends already!).  I am working towards simple living, one step at a time.

    If you're curious about the name of my blog, you can find out more here. Thanks for stopping by!

    Stay in the loop!
