My hubby's the BESTEST!!

I was just thinking today of how much I LOVE my husband and I decided to make a short count down list of the reasons why.

8. He’s a light sleeper. I am up at LEAST once during the night to pee and eat chocolate, and he always rolls over and puts a hand on me to let me know that he’s still there and he loves me. In fact, this past weekend, he woke me up during a particularly nasty dream I was having about sharks and shallow water (which he probably doesn't remember doing) because I was making noises like I was scared. It’s nice to know in the middle of the night that I’m not alone.
7. He does the laundry. You need to understand– he does ALL the laundry.  The washing, the drying, the folding, the hanging.  ALL of it.  Plus, the laundry room is kinda of scary at night when the lights are off. The bogeyman lives there. So I rarely go there, especially when its cold out, and when I do I am usually running for my life in about 5 minutes because I can feel his eyes on me. So I don’t really do the laundry that much. My husband, though I KNOW he finds me ridiculous, has taken on the chore of doing laundry so I don’t have to sacrifice myself to the bogeyman. Good man.
6. He loves to be outside. Yes, I know, this is silly. But I am inherently lazy. I would much prefer to laze on the couch and read a book than go outside and play tag, take a walk, ride my bike, or anything else. My husband gets me on my feet and into the fresh air, which is a very good thing.
5. He’s absolutely 100% supportive of my obsession with babies. Doesn’t matter to him that I end every lovemaking session with a pillow under my hips. Doesn’t matter to him that we have to do it every night for a week to catch when I ovulate(back when I was). Doesn’t matter that I used to wake up every morning, including weekends, at 5am to take my temperature. He’s amazing like that.
4. He’s as into cooking as I am. I love to try out a new recipe or new style of food. He loves it as much as I do, and there have been nights where I’ve come home from work and he’s made us a gourmet meal. Love that.
3. He’s incredibly intelligent. And can always conjure up a stimulating conversation. He loves me for my intelligence, too; a big deal for me, since my intelligence is not as evident as his.
2. He makes me laugh. We laugh all the time; about family issues, about trying for a baby, about pretty much everything. It reminds me not to take myself and my life too seriously.
1. He loves me unconditionally. No matter what happens, no matter where we go, he’ll always love me. I’ve never really had that whole “unconditional love” thing before, and it’s amazing to know that even if we fight, even if I’m a raging witch for a day, he’s not going to leave me.
I can’t tell you how lucky I feel every morning when I wake up and look at him. He’s the most amazing man, and I sometimes can’t believe I actually got to marry someone like him.

Hun, if you're reading this, which I know you are because you are SOOOO supportive, I LOVE you!  Just wanted you to know.

  1. Awww, so sweet! And of course it doesn't matter to him to have to do it every night for a week! haha. I hated that laundry room too. Especially being on the third floor on the other end of the complex.
