I love my husband!

I've been thinking today about how much I love my husband and how much I love being married. He is a wonderful man, who is perfect for me. God gave me the perfect man for me. Below is a short list of just a few reasons that I love him...in no particular order...

1. He loves God. I mean he really loves God. He looks to Him for guidance and answers. He spends time with God and enjoys it. He longs to be closer to God and wants to have the decisions in our household be in-line with God's will.

2. He doesn't judge me. I am not the world's greatest housekeeper. Not even close. Yet, he doesn't yell at me or get upset when I flounder in the house cleanliness department. He accepts me for who I am and doesn't try to change me.

3. He lets me be upset. Even when it's over something stupid. Even when it doesn't make sense why I'm upset. He holds me when I need to be held and lets me cry when I need to cry. He doesn't make fun of me because of it (at least not until I'm in a better mood later and I can laugh about it).

4. He likes to travel. I love to travel and he likes to be on the go, too. He likes to experience new places and new food. He enjoys road trips and plane trips, boat trips and train trips. He likes travelling in the US and in other countries. He likes going on short weekend trips close to home and on longer vacations.

5. He enjoys hanging out with me. Whether it's doing porch sitting or going out to dinner or taking walks. He just enjoys being with me, which is so nice.

6. He's good with money. He doesn't spend friviously or extravagantly. He has priorities and follows those. He works and provides for our family and is good at what he does. He is satisfied with the things that God gives us and doesn't need to go into debt to try to keep up with others.

7. He loves my dog. He took my dog in when we got married and treats him as his own. He loves playing with him and enjoying him. He doesn't make me feel bad for spoiling the dog or taking him to the vet multiple times.

8. He takes the garbage out. Without being asked. Without making a big deal about it. He just does it. He doesn't expect to be thanked or acknowledged. He just does it.

9. He puts the toilet seat down. Every time. Without question. He just does it.

10. He's excited to be a daddy. He'll make a great one. He has so much love to give and is thrilled that we are having a girl. I know she's going to be a daddy's girl and there is no better man for her to look up to.

I have a whole lot more reasons...these are just the one's that came to the top of my mind as I'm writing this. He is awesome and I am so thankful to God for giving him to me!
