My Husband ROCKS!

Not for any particular reason this week. I haven't actually seen him much.... But I love that I always know he'll take care of me when I break down into a bundle of nerves- and that happens more often than I'd care to admit. I love him, and I'm so happy to be sharing this journey with him!

My Husband ROCKS!!!!

I haven’t been participating in MHRF lately, but it’s not because he doesn’t rock. He does. All the time. I just haven’t really felt like blogging about it.

Just this week he’s: Taken care of me when I was sick, brought home dinner when he knew I would be too busy to make something, given up a weeknight to come to a funeral with me for a friend’s grandma, and today he’s using his day off to finish cleaning the house so that I won’t be embarrassed to have company over tonight.

I sure am a lucky girl!

Katy Lin prompted us to talk about our favorite Christmas memory with our husbands…

My most favorite Christmas memory EVER (not just with the Hubs) is the year before we got married. He had just moved into *our* apartment in August (I lived with my parents until after the wedding) and we were getting married in Feb. Wedding plans were in full swing, and we were starting to get REALLY excited.

He didn’t have any Christmas decorations, and just wasn’t going to decorate. We didn’t have a lot of money, and what little we did have was going toward gifts and wedding related items, so we took a trip to Wal-Mart and the Dollar store. My parents had bought a pre-lit tree the year before for very little money and gave it to us for the apartment. I bought construction paper and made paper chains, and we bought some “pine” garland and other decorations. It was simple and nice.

My favorite part, though, was after the apartment was decorated. We turned off all of the lights except for the tree and talked for hours about how we wanted our lives to turn out, and Christmases past and future. I think I fell in love with him all over again that night, and it made me even more excited for the day we would finally become husband and wife.

*****************************

And as a bonus:

My husband rocks this week because he made dinner. Twice! I don’t think he realized how nice it was to come home and not have to figure out what to eat and then put the effort in to making it and cleaning it up. Thanks, Honey!

MY HUSBAND ROCKS!

My Husband Rocks because of the following email conversation:

HE: so just made a calendar for a girl I used to work with at Giant Eagle back in da day, had a thing for her..she dissed me when I asked..now I look at her and say man what was I thinkin! :)

ME: Because I’m so much better, right?!

HE: well DUH! I thought that was already figured in but I guess not…

Every once in a while, I girl just needs to hear it, OK?! I’m really glad that we can email each other at work. It’s those little gems that help me make it through some days…..

My Husband ROCKS!

First of all, I want to say that I know I’m a terrible blogger/commenter lately. It’s a combination of a lot of things, and I’m trying to write a post about it, but I just can’t seem to get the words right. Hopefully things will come together soon and I can get back to my bloggy self.



This week the Hubs rocks because he let me let my emotions fly. I’ve kinda been struggling with a lot of things lately, and I’ve had crazy mood swings. I’ve really needed to just yell and scream, or cry, or sing at the top of my lungs and dance around the house. He’s really let me do it all- and he even participates sometimes, which is great…. especially since I think everyone needs a good shouting match every now and then. I’m a lucky woman.

My Husband ROCKS!

My husband Rocks today because he’s getting excited about our Halloween Party tomorrow! I kinda sprang the idea on him a couple of weeks ago, fully expecting him to freak out and tell me no- but he’s been really “gung-ho” about the whole thing. I’m etty pumped! He even agreed to be K-Fed to my Crazy Britney. Don’t worry, I’ll post a pic or two.

My Husband Rocks!!

My husband rocks this week because he's dedicated.Not only is he dedicated to me, and our marriage and future family, but he’s also a very dedicated employee. He loves the company he works for, and it shows. He works overtime whenever necessary and never complains. He takes pride in his work and promotes his business whenever he can. Often we’ll be driving around and he’ll point out the companies that he works closely with and makes note of the companies that he thinks would be good for them to partner with.



I’m sure I’ve said it here before, but my husband’s company is dependant on the economy. They deal with car dealerships and real estate agents. If homes and cars aren’t selling, then my husband’s company doesn’t get any work, and, in turn, doesn’t make any money. He could easily get a sales job somewhere, probably making more money, but he is 100% on board with his current company. As frustrating as it is sometimes, I am so proud of his dedication. I probably don’t say it enough, but I am. He inspires me.

My Husband Rocks

My Husband Rocks this week because he lets me have my own life, and he really looks forward to the time we can spend together. I haven't been home much this week- and when I have been home, I've mostly been sleeping..... so he's been (more or less) planning his life around me this week. AND we're going on a date tonight. That means I don't have to cook. His idea. THAT'S why I love him :)

My Husband Rocks!

Happy Friday, everyone! Things are pretty crazy over in our corner of the sky. Crazy busy with a whole lot of nothing (except waiting out the 2ww, of course.) The Hubs and I are going to a concert tonight, and I'm so excited! Brandon Heath (who I'm completely in love with) and Sara Groves (Who I fell in love with at a Jars of Clay concert) are playing in a church that is about 5ish minutes away from my house. How excited am I?! Pretty excited. Friday night is usually our unofficial "date night." We like to take the time to just get out of the house and do things as a couple- even if those things turn out to be running errands, at least we're doing it together. So.. I'm pumped.



This week, my amazing and wonderful husband rocks because he's so hopeful about this cycle of Clomid. I've asked him to kinda keep his confidence on the down low, because I REALLY don't want to be dissappointed or to dissappoint him. I have to admit, though, that his hopefulness is contagious! He has been so supportive of all of the RE appointments I've had to go to, and he has been totally committed to making sure I have whatever I need to get me through this stressful time. He's pretty much the awesome-est.

My Husband Rocks! (AND a Giveaway)

I missed last week, so I guess maybe I should do double duty this week! My Husband ROCKS!



So this past week was our birthay week. The Hubs is only 3 days older than me, but he's not as into birthdays as I am. We had decided we weren't going to get anything for each other (again) this year, because money was tight. I kept up my end of the bargain (well, I got him a card), but, at midnight on wed/thurs he surprised me with a little something :) He bought me the ear buds that I have been drooling over for about a month now. Now I won't have to deal with them falling out of my ears while I'm working out! How cool is that?!




Also this week, my best friend stayed with us for a couple of days. She lives in Arizona, and she and The Hubs haven's always gotten along so well. Wednesday night he went out of his way and sat up talking with us. It made me feel really good, and she got really excited because she said "I think we're friends, now!" It was a pretty great time.

MY HUSBAND ROCKS!!!

I’m trying to think about a specific reason this week that my husband rocks, but I just can’t- there are too many! He is so sweet and kind and caring and can make lemonade out of the most sour of lemons. He is my true partner in life, and I am so in love with him!



P.S. Some of my SITStas asked me to share the blog that I referred to in last week’s installment of MHR. After speaking with the Hubs, he would prefer that I not do that, because then the thing I was trying to be so discreet about would become obvious. However, I’m planning an upcoming post in which I’ll feature some of my favorite marriage related blogs for any of you who are interested.

My Husband Rocks!

The reason my husband rocks this week is actually pretty personal, so for the sake of our marriage, I'm not really going to post the details. Some things need to be kept sacred, you know? Just know that my husband did an incredibly selfless thing this week after reading a blog series that I recommended. This should help our marriage immeasurably, and I am so incredibly grateful for him.

My Husband Rocks!!!!

Why does my husband rock?! Because he bought this shirt (as a surprise to me) and couldn’t wait to wear it! He actually got a little bit giddy when he put it on. The Hubs isn’t the best with words- but it’s the little things like this that reassure me that he really does love me! AND he rocks!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE My Husband Rocks Fridays! Not only is it Friday, but it's an excuse to brag about my incredible hubby! It always makes me a bit giddy to tell the world how great he is... so here goes.....



My Husband ROCKS because I can tell him "we're keeping the twins overnight- and you're going to have to sleep with the tv on on mute all night and a cd on." and he'll say "Ok, where do you want me to put up the pack n plays?"



OR I can say "My parents and brother and sister and great big dog are coming over on Saturday while they flea bomb the house" and he'll say "Ok, I'll clean the house since I'm only working a half day on Friday."



OR I can say "These Clomid Hot flashes are KILLING ME! Please change back into your clothes (we wear pajamas when it's just us at home) and drive down to the ice cream stand to get me something cold!" and he says "OK, what do you want?"



Yeah, he's pretty great ::sigh::

My Husband ROCKS!

Hmmm so I've been a bad bad lazy blogger lately. I've been reading and responding, but I just haven't had much to say. Sorry about that!!! I'll have to get my rear in gear.



SO why does my husband rock today? I'll tell you why. He rocks because he handles all of our bills and money stuff.... and doesn't get TOO mad at me when I forget to give him receipts from when I stop for coffee in the mornings (oops!)



I freak out when it comes to money. I know it's bad, but I usually don't even look at the bank account. The Hubs will keep me informed of our balance and the things that need paid, but if I look at it myself, and see how many bills we actually have (necessities like mortgage, cars, utilities) I tend to hyperventilate. Also, I'm REALLY bad at paying bills on time... but I have realized my short comings and we decided before we got married that this would be the deal. (Actually I came with a disclaimer: "I don't cook, clean, do dishes, do windows, do yard work, or handle money." I actually do do some of that stuff, but I flat out told him numerous times that I wouldn't and he wanted to marry me anyway. That's LOVE right there, folks!)It works for us, and I can promise you that our marriage wouldn't be as strong as it is right now if he didn't take care of this. I'd be a basket case and he wouldn't be able to deal with me!





So tell me, why does your husband rock?

My Husband Rocks Friday!

It's FRIDAY again! Time for me to tell you exactly why my darling husband rocks this week.



This week, the Hubs rocks because he bought me ice cream. This may sounds silly to some, but for some reason, I fall in love with him all over again every time he hands me a bowl of the stuff. A couple of days ago, he went out and picked up a perscription for me (another reason why he rocks) and on the way back picked up a "surprise" ice cream sundae from the little ice cream stand around the corner.



I love him!

MY HUSBAND ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Warning: this is partly fertility related.



As I mentioned in my last post, the Hubs finally got his SA done. I know it’s a humbling and embarrassing experience for him, but I think it really made him even more “gung ho” in this whole baby making business. Ever since he’s “done the thing” (his words) He just seems to light up every time he thinks about us having kids. He’s SO confident that we’re going to be parents- good parents. He seems to be more interested in MY end of the testing. He’s more tuned in and interested. He’s just really excited. I can’t wait to give him a child (or 2 or 3..)

My Husband? He rocks.

Of course, of all weeks to be busy, it has to be during ICLW, so that I can’t blog to my heart’s content to give everyone something semi- interesting to read. Sorry, blogland! Unfortunately, some of us have lives. I know, right?



SO today, on this BEAUTIFUL Friday in Northeastern Ohio, I’m going to tell you about why my husband rocks. I LOVE this idea, because it’s so easy during the day to day to only see the flaws and reasons why your partner DOESN’T rock. Doing MHR makes me sit down and remember why I married this crazy man to begin with. By the time I’ve finished writing these posts, I feel like I’ve fallen in love with him all over again. That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?



My husband rocks because I know he will be an amazing father, and he’s SO patient with me throughout the process (so far…. We haven’t really gotten in to the hard stuff, though!) He’s always willing to “practice” by watching the Littles. They love him. He has never even complained once when I’ve offered to take them overnight (or for a whole weekend) and actually gets kinda bummed when my sister and her husband inevitably chicken out and tell us that they just can’t bear to be apart from them overnight.



We have a puppy (Charlie) and a cat (Maggie) who are our “kids.” The Hubs is the one who started referring to us as “mommy” and “daddy” to the animals. He worries over them like they were actual children. It’s so cute! It’s not uncommon for him to forgo a night out with the guys in order to stay home and “hang out with Charlie.” If he’s like this with our nieces and animals, I can only imagine what he’ll be like with our own children. I hope we can find out soon!

MY HUSBAND ROCKS!

It's been a rough week for the Hubs. He's been having some drama at work, there's some major drama going on with his family, and it's finally starting to hit him (a year later) that getting pregnant isn't easy for us. Through it all, though, he's just been AMAZING. He has always known exactly who he is and what he's about. He's so strong in his faith, and he honestly believes that everything will be OK. I am so proud of what a leader he is, and how he handles himself while under pressure from all sides. A lesser man would have fallen apart a long time ago.



Also, he went shopping with me yesterday. We only went to Old Navy, but he HATES shopping, so it was a big step. I ended up not buying anything for myself, because everything they had in my size made me look short and stumpy, but we did buy some REALLY cute clothes for the Littles. He saw how happy it made me to find such cute little things (and not break down) and so he let me shop for them until I was ready to be done. My Husband? He ROCKS!

My Husband Rocks Friday

I was introduced to this really GREAT idea while readig one of my new favorite blogs, Staci's Heart. To read about how My Husband Rocks Friday was born, click on the icon in my sidebar.



My Husband Rocks for SO many reasons. We obviously have occasional bumps in the road as we adjust to being married and homeowners, but I can't think of anyone I would rather take with me on this journey.



Today my Husband ROCKS because he spent his entire day off mowing his parent's lawn. My father in law recently had surgery on his hand and can't do much. Today the Hubs had the day off and decided to spend the entire day helping out at his parent's house. He also spent almost every day last week over there taking care of them. He is such an incredible person and an incredible partner and I am SO lucky and blessed to have found him.
