The Best Husband Ever

I seriously have the best husband ever.

No, really. I do.

Not only did he get me the best Christmas present ever (my Harry Potter movies), he got me the best birthday present ever...a new camera! We ordered it last week and it will be here in a few days. But, the best part about it? He used his gift card, and the money he made on side jobs to buy it. He didn't have to do that, but he did. And why? Because he read my blog about how I want to take more pictures...but our camera has that funky spot in it. It's not even that it's "my" camera, because I know we will both use it...but it's that he loves me enough to sacrifice the things that he has or wants to put a smile on my face.
I really don't think I appreciate him enough...or deserve his love. He does so many wonderful things to help me. Some days, I am in so much back pain (or lately, it's been neck pain...and I have no idea why), that I can't do a lot of cleaning or cooking or anything. And, even if he had a long day at work, he will do whatever needs to get done. Sometimes, he even just does that stuff because he wants to...not because I ask or because it needs to get done.
He also works very hard...and has for as long as we've been together. He has worked some jobs that I know he didn't really care for...to be responsible and take care of his bills. He never worries when money is tight...he just finds side jobs. He wasn't nervous at all when I found out I wouldn't be going back to work (or should I say, when HE found out). He's my rock, he's almost always positive about every situation we get into, and he loves me very much.
He's also a wonderful leader and man of God. It almost always brings me to tears when he asks if he can pray for me when I'm having a bad day or am in pain. He always thinks to pray before meals. And, he loves to teach the college students more about God. I have seen so much growth in him in this last year and a half and it makes me so happy. He is going to be a wonderful spiritual leader for our children as well.
Of course, we have our arguments and bad days and frustrations with each other. Of course, there are always the little things that bother us about the other person. Of course, there are always the off days when one of us had a bad day at work or had a bad conversation with another person, and we take it out on each other. Those things happen to every married couple. But, when I think about my husband, I think about all the wonderful things he is and does. He is the love of my life and has been pretty much since our first date

...and I wouldn't have it any other way.
