The Best Husband Ever

So I decided a long time ago that our IF issues are soley because my husband is so darn amazing in every other way- and NOTHING is perfect, so there you go.

Here's why he's so great:

• He cooks every meal we eat.- AND cleans up AND loads/unloads the dishwasher AND cleans the kitchen weekly. The only finger I lift in that room is to open the refrigerator.
• If I don't feel like going grocery shopping- he'll go by himself.
• If I have a craving for red vines he'll go to the store late in the evening just to get them for me.
• I get to eat the last Girl Scout cookie, every year.
• He helps cut out things for my classroom. A lot. What other man do you know would cut out 18 crabs, 18 fish, and 18 octopus handprints in one weeknight without a complaint???
• He's taken vacation days to come on a field trip with my class in the past or to talk to my students about something we are learning.
• He cleans the toilets and showers weekly.
• He feeds the dogs, lets them out about 99% of the time and picks up after them outside.
• He gives massages whenever I ask for them.
• He makes me tea, hot cocoa, or an alcohol drink whenever I ask.
• We go to bed whenever I feel like it.
• He listens to me talk about work on and on and on without getting annoyed or bored. Ever.
• I get control of the remote and computer when I want it (which is most of the time)- I even get to watch The Bachelor when 24 is on. And I'm pretty sure figure skating would be on over hockey if I truly wanted it to be.
• He makes me a fire in our fireplace and homemade popcorn whenever I want.
• He lets me sleep in on weekends and gets up to let the dogs out.
• He lets me have the window seat in airplanes.
• He doesn't complain when I choose to stay at work until 6 or 7 pm some nights.
• Today the weather was dreary all day and when I answered the phone after leaving work he sang: "You are my sunshine..."
• He loves me because of my perfectionism, my obsessive compulsiveness, the worrywart in me, my pessimism- not in spite of it.
• His patience is limitless.
• He's never once complained about how much I spend on clothes, haircuts, shoes, makeup or other girly things.
• The compliments and flowers are never ending. :)
• He makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the whole world.

And I'm sure there's many more things that I am not thinking of right now.

Hands off ladies- he's mine and I'm not letting him go.

My dear husband is turning 29 tomorrow. I am the luckiest woman alive to have such an amazing husband.

Jake- I love you. Happy Birthday my love.
