101 Things Did Continue

The Countdown Continues

Ah, it’s the next installment of 101 Things I Love About My Husband.

To see the previous entry click here.

11.     I love the back massages that he gives me- even though I think he works longer, harder days than I do.

12.     I love that he *gives* me the better/newer/cooler car to drive.

13.     I love the SHMILY notes he leaves for me everywhere. [Note: He likes to date some of them so he can tell how long it’s been hidden before I find it. It’s like delayed love notes!]

14.     I love it when he brings me home my favorite candy bar and places it somewhere I will see it.

15.     I love that sometimes he’ll stop by the side of the road and pick me a bouquet of wildflowers as a surprise.

16.     I love it when he surprises me with my very own spa bubble bath- complete with fluffy towel and iced drink. [And then he takes the kiddos far, far away- so they don’t *pop* in to check on me.]

17.     I love that he doesn’t expect me to sit and watch his war movies with him yet he’ll fidget thru a chick flick for me.

18.     I love that he never gets after me or twinges when my laugh is too loud but grins instead.

19.     I love it when I catch him weeding my garden when he knows I can’t get to it right away.

20.   I absolutely love his calming influence. He just has a way about him of setting the tone to a much more even keel- whereas I live in hyper-freak-out land sometimes.

 So the saga continues. I smile as I write this and watch my dearest outside with the kiddos doing yard work. Why aren’t I out there? Because dear hubby knew I needed a mommy time-out from those 3 rapscallions. God is so good to me!!!

What I LOVE about my man

Okay- I want to think up 101 Things I Love about my Husband. I want to be original and creative and I want to get it done before his big birthday in November. So, knowing the dark procrastination of my soul- I will begin posting 10 things I Love about My Husband every couple of weeks or so or I may do 5 here and 5 there . . . . but this is to help me to come up with wonderful, delightful creative ideas over a period of time (as opposed to late the night before! LOL)

1. I love that he has kissed no other woman the way he kisses me (our first kiss was his very first).
2. I love how he has to slide over and touch his feet to mine before going to bed- every night.
3. I love how he comes up to me and stops me (even if I’m in the middle of doing something) for a hug and a kiss. I pretend to be miffed but truly I LOVE it!
4. I love it when I overhear my husband praising me as a wife and mother.
5. I love that we share the same vision for our family.
6. I love it when my husband holds my hand. I still get the same giddy thrill that I did way back in the beginning.
7. On the same note- I love it when we’re out together and my husband offers me his arm and then places his other hand over mine. I feel all tucked in and safe and special and very loved when he does this.
8. I love that my husband prays with me and for me and our children. – Plus I love it when I get to hear him pray out loud for us! Sends joy bolts right thru my heart!
9. I love how he makes me laugh.
10. I love that he is truly a hands-on Dad and changes diapers like a pro. {Note: When I was in the hospital having my kiddos I never changed a single diaper- no not one. HE always gave them their first baths too.}

Boy! I just gotta love this man!
