My Man!

I have to tell you about my man. He is awesome! His name is honey, daddy, baldy....or whatever else we feel like calling him for the day. Our 13th anniversary and his 39th birthday are both coming up soon and it makes me think of him more and what I can do to bless him.

I love it when.....

he is fresh out of the shower with a freshly shaved head and face
he comes up behind me and hugs me
I hear him singing with the kids
he is quite about something that maybe I should have done differently
he snuggles up to me just before bed
he shows his integrity of being an honest man
he is slow to speak and slow to get angry
he does his big surprises (i.e. Mother's day)
he holds my hand
he says "I love you more!"
he reads his Bible
he serves
we pray together
he puts my rest time as a priority
he mops the floor when I never expected it
unloads the dishwasher while I'm still sleeping
he writes notes to me on our bathroom mirror
(did you know dry erase marker comes off glass)
he tries to put us first before work
he has a strong opinion about something
he spends time just playing with the kids
he gives me the freedom that I need
he blogs
he reads my blog
he takes the kids out to give me some much needed rest
(there are others but it wouldn't be appropriate to share them ;) )

John is one of the gentlest people I know. He doesn't let his emotions take him too far and watches what he says to me. He is wise and would never say anything on purpose to hurt me. He loves his children so much and loves to take them to the store or work with him. He takes every opportunity he can to involve his kids in anything he does. He really is a great man and I can't wait to spend 50 more years with him!
