My biggest compliment

I received one of my biggest compliments yesterday. My husband reads my blog.
Isn’t that neat? He takes time out of his busy
work schedule to read the ramblings of a 40 year old mother of
four. Oh yea, I am his wife too!!! Sometimes all the
busyness of having four children I forget that. Long before the wildness that has now invaded our home we had a romance,
a life without kids, and a REAL relationship. I think one of the
biggest challenges now is trying to maintain that relationship.

So let me tell you about this wonderful man I married 10 years ago. First, he is very good looking (yea,
you baby!). He is a patient and loving husband. He
encourages me on days when I’ve done too much (like yesterday) and
rolls down the bed for me, tucks me in and shuts the door.
Ahh….peace.
He also is a great dad. He
relates to my “almost 7 year old” so much better than I do and can
usually get through to him when I can not. He loves to snuggle
with our daughter and at 16 months she has effectively wrapped him
around her sweet, precious 2 inch little finger.
He is an avid AUBURN football fan and is certain
there will be football in heaven. AND of course it will be
college football! He’ll be the star quarterback, running back and
kicker!!!
He is full of life, spontaneity and
fun. Without him I would be a bore. He’s the silly
one who keeps us all laughing…sometimes to the point of tears.
He’s full of Jesus and loves others so well. He has a heart full
of compassion and love for others to understand how passionately Jesus
loves us. He’s the dreamer. The one who still dreams of us
going to Colorado to ski, even with four children. Can you
imagine the cost??? I’m still the practical one.
We make a good team together. He’s definitely
my opposite and my compliment. As we continue on this venture
together I’m sure I’ll discover even more wonderful things about
him.
Thanks for reading my blog baby! I love you.
