Last night I was snuggled with my girls on the couch. We were watching Discovery Health about a family that had identical quads. Sassy informed me she would never be a doctor, "cause that stuff grosses me out." A few minutes later she says, "I want to marry a man just like dad." Trying to decipher which of hubby's amazing qualities she was referring to, I asked, "what is it about dad that you want in your husband?" She said, "I want a husband that puts me first."
This thought crosses my mind several times a day. I have an amazing husband. He works hard for us. He has worked at a job that is stressful just so that I have insurance. When my health problems kick my trash and I don't feel good, he jumps in and picks up the slack. He provides many comforts for me. He feels guilty for providing them for himself. It's only at my insistence that he even got his new pickup 3 years ago. He needed it. He certainly deserved it and we could afford it.
The fact that my daughter notices the selfless acts of her daddy makes my heart swell. I love the example he is for our children.
His birthday is on Monday, March 15. When our taxes get back, he gets to buy new tires. He will like doing this. Especially if we can find the wheels he want, too.
I would love to get him a vacation. He wouldn't take it without me, but I'd just love to do something BIG to say thanks for all the little ways he makes my life wonderful.
