I feel like I really need to take time on here to let everyone know what a wonderful husband I have.

But first, a little background information:
We met the first few days of our freshman year in college and it was NOT love at first sight. I thought he was a hippy freak and he thought I was a snob. But those mistaken first impression quickly changed and we found ourselves falling in love with eachother...even though we had a boyfriend and girlfriend back home. We snuck around for awhile and finally we broke up with our boyfriend & girlfriend and made ourselves an official couple. We've been together and in love ever since. We became engaged a little over a year later and got married a year and half after that.

Over 11 years later, we still have a wonderful marriage. We talk (really talk) every day to stay connected and love to spend time together. Although I will say here that we both firmly believe the secret to a happy marriage definitely includes time apart! We can't be together too much, we get on eachother's nerves! We aren't afraid to disagree and don't put up with crap from eachother, but at the same time, we don't have knock-down, drag out fights either. And when it comes to difficult times, we pull together and get through it.

And watching him be a good daddy has made me fall in love with him all over again! Although he tries to avoid poopy diapers, he will change them when necessary. He never hesitates to go in Ashleigh's room and comfort her if she wakes up crying. Unless he's asleep, because he sleeps like a log and never hears her. But he did get up at midnight once this week to check on her. : ) He picks her up every day on his way home and plays with her and teaches her things. He got her to start waving bye! I usually feed her, but that's because I'm stingy with her. He can feed her just fine. And if I'm cooking dinner and need to feed her, I can ask him to come finish the cooking and he will, no problem. He will even vaccuum now with minimal complaining! He even picked up some groceries the other day and put them all away (in the correct places) before I got home! AND he'll stay home from work to keep her when needed! (I'm usually "it" when she's sick, though, and that's fine with me!)

I suppose to some people, none of this may not seem like a big deal. And don't get me wrong, I do expect him to do all these things. BUT...I don't know if it's the area I live in or what, but he does so much more than many of the husbands/fathers I know. And that he gladly does it without having to be nagged, just makes it 10 times better!

I just wanted to share a little bit about this wonderful man who completes me. He is my best friend, my soul mate, the love of my life.
