Thank Goodness! Thursdays

So I am following in the example set by Lissa and doing Thank Goodness! Thursdays. I need to focus more on the positives in my life instead of all the hardships.

SO for my first entry I am going to be thankful for my husband. He drives me absolutely bat-shit-crazy some days… but I cannot imagine my life without him.

The day I married him is still among my top 5 BEST DAYS EVAH. I love to look back at the pics and see what children we still were and what a handsome man he has become.

Part of the reason I fell in love with him was because of his strong ties and committment to his family. This is a man who would walk through fire for his family and not think twice about it.

I will admit that I was a little worried about what kind of father he would be to our child(ren) but as soon as CD was born he became the good dad, the patient one, the one CD wants to be just like when he grows up. I couldn’t have hand-picked a better father for my son.

I’m not gonna lie to you, part of the reason I married him and not some office geek was because he was a plumber. Hello!? Who doesn’t wish they had a plumber in their back pocket? The plus to this is that he is pretty handy with ALL levels of construction… minus electricity. Zappers are not his friend! He’s also a cowboy; he grew up riding and branding and working hard. He can ride bareback, he can toss a calf and he can fix fences. I love that about him, love that his hands are rough and scarred because it means he knows how to accomplish things himself instead of being a weenie and paying someone else to do it.

He makes me laugh, even though to most people he seems so serious. In reality he is quiet because he is insecure… he can be the biggest goof when we are home and just hanging out. We have a blast hanging out with close family and friends, look at that smile he has!
