(That’s really me and my hubs in the right corner… )
Why do I feel like I’m entitled to some fun, romantic, spontaneous surprise on Valentine’s Day? It’s a day to celebrate love sometimes it seems like it should be a day that husbands have to prove their love to their wives. Heck, I’m not complaining – a dinner, flowers and a show sound great!! 🙂 For people that are wired like me who struggle with giving out praises, admiration and words of affirmation- a reminder such as Valentine’s Day is needed! A reminder that my hubby goes above and beyond to make sure my needs are met, that we’re provided for, that our kids are taken care of and welcomes his in-laws to stay with us indefinitely.
He holds his daughter when she feels sick. He’ll clean her up after she’s thrown up and pamper her without complaining. He gives the kids a bath and does the unpleasant chores of taking out the trash and cleaning bathrooms. He insists that I stay in bed and sleep in or go out for a drive so I get some alone time while he feeds the kids breakfast and lunch. He encourages me to buy whatever I want even if he has to put his need for new jeans aside for a few months. He loves wrestling with the kids and spending time with his family. He always prefers going out with me over hanging out with friends. He’s been incredible as we work together towards big family goals of adoption and getting out of debt. I’m constantly amazed at how he puts up with my mood swings and chooses to only see the good in me. I can’t be more grateful for the bestest friend in the world, my hubby. I love you, Alan George! And if I believed in fairytales, you’d be my knight in shining armor.
