My husband!!!

I wanted to post something about my husband, and I don't think he will believe any of it, nor do I think he will read this one, after reading all the other things I have posted about him. But let's give it a try.

I love my husband, I would not want to be married to anyone else but him. I know he loves me. How do I know this, because he works hard all week long, so I can be a stay at home mom. He works two jobs, over 60 hours a week. He gets up early and comes home late. He wears out everyday, to show the boys and me that he loves us.

Not only does he work hard, he is also very responsible with the money he earns. My father worked hard, but when it came to money, that is a whole other issue. But my husband has a great head for money and math and saving. I don't know where I would be financially if it wasn't for him. Maybe living out of my 18 year old truck, with all my fabulous shoes and purses. But I know for a fact I wouldn't have a house, nor a nice car, and most of my student loans would not be paid off. He would be a very rich man if he hadn't married me, but he did, sucker!!!

He knew how much debt I had, but he still loved me enough to take it all on. He also knew I had a child, which he took on with open arms. Now granted they don't always see eye to eye, but he loves him, and you can tell. He wants the best for him and the other two younger children. He likes to challenge him, and show him just what he can do when he applies himself. He has brought rules into a situation where there weren't many.  I wasn't raised with a lot of discipline, or structure. My mom was gone a lot, due to being manic, depressive in other words bipolar,  my father was work 60 to 80 hours a week on average, some weeks over 100.  That happens when you work on a farm and need to get the hay in. So with no parents, and not much rules, I tend to be a bit lacked in my parenting. Don't get me wrong, with my first son, he didn't really need any, he was and is a good kid.  But what I missed growing up was some one caring about my grades, someone who went to my sporting events, someone who challenged me and let me know that I could go to college, that I was smart enough and able enough. (actually after going to three different schools, I can say just about anyone with a pulse can make it to college) But I wasn't shown this nor encouraged to do this. This is something that I am doing with my children, and my husband has helped out with this is a great way.

My husband also has a great belief and strength when it comes to his religious beliefs, and that helps our family out as well. When I want to throw in the towel he is a great example of faith, and it helps to keep me going. He loves the lord.

He is also a very neat person, this has encouraged me to be better at housekeeping, I understand how much more peaceful and enjoyable a clean house can be. He will help around the house, doing laundry, washing dishes, taking care of the yard. Putting clothes away, cleaning the toilet a task I abhor, do to growing up with 6 brothers. He also appreciates the hard work I put into cleaning and taking care of the home.

He is also a great sounding board, he will listen to my issues and problems, he will try and help me out and build me up.

He also has a very funny sense of humor, that is one thing that I loved about him when we were dating, he thought I was very funny. But in all honesty, he also is very funny as well, he knows just what to do to make me laugh. Which is important in a marriage.

We are just like every other couple out there, we have our issues, and we will fight and scream and yell, but some how, some way we find a way to get along. We love each other and want to be together forever. I know I would not be the person I am today without him, now would I have the life I have if he wasn't in it. He loves my children and myself in many ways, and never fails to show us.

Thanks Babe, I love you!!!!
