My wonderful man…

My husband is too wonderful not to brag on… we decided that we were going to celebrate Valentine’s Day early this year because he’s working this weekend. So Chris booked a room out by Disney for us to have some time away (the first time since Thomas was born!), planned for my mom to come over and watch our kids; we were leaving Tuesday night and going to be back Wednesday late afternoon. We talked about it, planned it together and agreed that would be our “gift” to each other. So, Monday night after work, we’re sitting eating dinner together planning our time, what we’ll do, where we’ll eat, etc. I got up from the table for a few minutes and when I came back Chris had cleared the table, and there on the table was a gorgeous lemongrass, Le Crueset tea kettle that I’ve been hinting at and saving for (because those things are pricey!)!! I was SO excited, and hugged and chided him for his sneakiness and rule-breaking. THEN he tells me to open it and inside are some adorable Valentines socks, (because I love fun socks) some dark chocolate (my favorite!) and a gift card… to a spa… where he had booked me… a one hour massage!! I know, right? :) I couldn’t believe it! I told him over and over that it was too too too tooooooooo much, but he just smiled and smugly disagreed. So the next day while he finished cleaning the house and packing and watched the kids, he sent me off to enjoy my massage so I could be relaxed and rejuvenated for our time away together…. he is so good to me!

I definitely loved my husband the day we got married and knew that that love would only grow each year of our marriage… but what I didn’t know was that Chris was going to EXCEL so early on in our marriage as a husband and a daddy. He consistently puts my needs and the needs of the kids over his own. He routinely goes out of his way to do little things that he knows will bless me. He faithfully addresses my heart, shows me my sin and reminds me of God’s grace… sometimes several times a day if it’s “one of those” days. He works crazy overtime in order to get us out from under any debt so that we can serve God to the best of our ability with the finances He provides, yet helps me with the schedule when he’s home so that I’m not overwhelmed with the extra hours he’s working. He humbly seeks the Lord in the morning so that He can receive wisdom to lead his family… and he is mine. All mine. I can’t believe how blessed I am. I am floored by God’s goodness to me through my hubby :)

I don’t know who reads this or if anyone will, but I wanted to take a moment to honor my husband and thank him for how wonderful he is :) I love you, babe!
