*Some of the countless reasons why I got the most amazing man for my best friend and husband:

He gives me occasional flowers, tater tots and french fries, foot massages, frequent hugs. 

He watches period dramas with me as well as so many other shows and movies we've shared over the years.

He endures the house I leave in utter chaos trying to keep up with the kids. 

He has endured me as the last few years have seem me at my worst emotionally, mentally, stressed-ly.

He engages me in interesting, intelligent, and different kinds of conversations. 

He shares what he is learning.

He asks about my day. 

He texts me throughout the day. 

He is just all out amazing and wonderful. With him at my side, we can make it through anything--including this new change in our journey.
