Lucky

So, this week has been one of the worst in recent history for me. You know when you have a bad day and it turns into another bad day, which turns into a week of bad days, etc. etc. etc. I would like to blame my bad week on March, a month which I have never liked. Unfortunately, I know it's not really March's fault (except for the bad weather which has only added to my frustrations). I'm not going to vent here, because I spent all last night venting to my wonderful husband. But I was reminded again how LUCKY I am to have him. I think sometimes I take for granted what a sweet, loving, caring guy he is. I forget how much BETTER life got just by marrying him and getting to spend all my time with him. I feel like as long as I have him I can get through anything. So I decided I wanted to make a list of things I love about him. Writing it reminded me I really am the luckiest girl in the world. Being married is the best. I love having my best friend by my side for ever and ever. I love having that support, that constant, in everything. Writing my list really brightened my week.

Some reasons why I love my husband:
-If I'm having a bad day he comes home for lunch- even though it takes 40 minutes round-trip to do it
-He lets me vent his ear off for hours and hours and just hugs me and makes me feel like everything will be okay. Even if he really doesn't have the time to listen to me whine
-He lets me drive the "good car"
-He's not competitive, arrogant, or holier-than-thou
-He screens my phone calls for me
-He'll let me have the expensive anesthesia for my wisdom teeth if I want it
-He admits when he's wrong
-If I'm craving chocolate at midnight he drives to the store and tells me to go take a bubble bath while he's gone
-He cleans the cat boxes out; although I'm pretty sure when we got our first kitten, I promised to do it
-He never gets mad. I mean... never.
-He truly wants to understand how I feel. Even if I'm being irrational.
-I forgot to do my calling the other night and when I remembered he went out in the freezing snow at midnight and did it for me. He left me home tucked in our warm bed.
-When I've had a crazy day with Chase and I'm about at my wits end; he takes Chase out to run errands with him- even though it will take twice as long and Chase will shriek the entire time. And I get to relax and read a book.
-His every action is geared toward making me happy.


I know we probably all feel like we married the best guy (or girl) on earth. But really, isn't it refreshing to just sit down and think about how LUCKY you are? I know it makes me more appreciative of him and it makes me so much more patient, caring, and loving toward him. Especially when I'm having a hard week.
