What a man...

I have an amazing husband! We started dating in high school and have been in love ever since!

Recently he has been working a lot of extra hours to cover the extra work that has come in. It's very long days and a lot of weekends.

We miss him dearly at home when he has to work this much and I know he misses us as well. I have been very conscious to remember how hard he is working and that it is for us so that at the end of the day when he comes home I am in a positive mood. There is nothing worse then coming home to a grumpy wife and grumpy children!

I have been thanking him often for doing what he does, letting him know that I am so appreciative of everything he does for us!

Well, last weekend after working on a Saturday my amazing husband walked through the door with these...

When I said thank you and asked him why he said...


"Because if it wasn't for you taking care of the kids and the house I wouldn't be able to do the work I have been doing."

We have such a wonderful marriage! I love and appreciate that man more then he can know and I believe it is the same for him to me.

After taking this last picture I noticed that a picture of my parents is in the back ground. Very fitting. My parents have a wonderful marriage! After all these years they are so in love and have such respect for each other. I know that Chris and I will be married for a lifetime just like they are. Just like Chris' parents were.

That is what marriage is...
