• May. 1, 2008 - Tag-Top 10 Things I Love About My Husband

Posted in Family

I got this tag from MayTheyBeMightyMen. These are in no particular order.  =)

1.  When I first met him, I was elated he was from the Northeast.  I love the mountains and forests!  I thought we'd take lots of vacations to those mountains and forests.  Sadly, my husband's career has not allowed for as much of this as we would have liked, either due to an NCO's pay or the USAF schedule to accomplish the mission.

2.  Then I found out he has a degree in building construction.  He's built great things for us! 

3.  He came home from his latest TDY finally and safely!

4.  When he got home he fixed everything that broke while he was gone!  Since he was waiting and waiting for his luggage for days, he walked around and looked for things to fix!  Yea!

5.  After everything was fixed, he bought a new cover for our grill.  Then he called me down to see the surprise.  BTW, have I told you that the Longhorns won the Rose Bowl in 2005?  They sounded great at the Fiesta parade the other night!  Hook 'em horns!

6.  Yesterday he came home from work and told me that he did some research and figured out exactly when he'll retire and how many days of leave he has.  (It is difficult for him to do any sort of planning, so I really appreciated this!) He also gave me 14 days to plan a summer vacation to the east coast!

7.  Last night when the children and I walked into the master bedroom for prayer time, we caught my husband listening to pastor James McDonald, whom he discovered on the radio.

8.  My husband is working on reading through the entire Bible.  He hasn't normally had quiet time, so this is a major feat.  He is amazed with the things he's learned so far and I think he's up to Leviticus now.

9.  He lets me homeschool and gives me the freedom to make the decisions!

10.  He's willing to go shopping with me to cute little towns.  He even suggests it once in a while!

11.  (I had to throw this one in!)  He finally gave up on his luggage coming in so he finally broke down and bought a shaving kit. After shaving he came into the school room and gave me a big smooch!  His 3 day old beard was getting more prickly by the day and it was hurting me to kiss him.  He's now kissable again!  Oh, and when he got home with the shaving kit, we got the phone call that the luggage was on the way to the house from the airport.

I love your list! Number 11 is my favorite, though! My darling husband is mostly Asian. He gets 60 or so hairs on the top lip and 120 in the beard area. (Yes, I counted them on a date night a long, long time ago.) Anyway, I can relate to the ouchy kisses when those hairs grow out. *lol*

I agree totally with long whiskers being too scratchy. And isn't always the way when you go out and buy something you find the one that was missing. LOL

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
