My Papa Bear

As of recently, I have been running and running and running...........I'm not actually sure where I'm going, or where I've been, but I have been busy. So busy that no house work has been getting done, we had a mountain of laundry as tall as me (I'm 6'0", if that puts in into perspective) and I've been working a lot of nights. On top of that, my sanity has been on the outs lately. I've been sick, a lot lately, and my emotions have been all over the place. This all means that it's down to my husband to do it all. Not only does he have to do it all, he has to listen to me complain when he doesn't do it "right".  And he has to listen to me complain when I don't think he's doing anything!

He has been wonderful through it all. He encourages me to do my quilting, and is sort of proud of me. I've decided to make quilts for Shade Tree, and everyone that he talks to about me, he tells them, so excitedly, that I've decided to do that. He encourages me to go out with he kids, because he knows I don't get much "fun time" with them. He allows me to go out with Amanda a lot, and have her come here, so I can get a break. He even listens to me give him the play by play of whatever Oprah show I watched that day, at 12:00a. He does so much more, that I can't even think of right now, and he does it all without complaint.

He is an amazing father and really steps up as a sort of second father to my little brother and sister. He really gets involved with them and tries to teach them the best things he can, and be a great example to them. He knows I worry about them a lot, and he tries to really make them feel like they are part of our little family, when they come over. As far as with our kids, what more can I say? He plays dress up with Sarah, plays any game he can with Luke, and takes them out to the park and Red Rock, by himself with all 3 kids! He's fantastic!

We are no where near a perfect couple, or have a perfect marriage. Most of our disagreements happen during Sacrament at church (I'm pretty sure Brother Whipple is aware of them. He's always staring at us and laughs here and there.) and they're usually about how the kids are not sitting still and being reverent and what to do about it. We are both very strong willed, and both have our own way of doing things. But we have both tried to mature together and love each other, the good with the not so good.

Anyways, I just wanted to give a little shout out to my honey. He is my perfect man, for me. Like I said, we are no where near a perfect couple, but he's perfect for me. I love him very much and love how he loves me. I'm so glad that Heavenly Father put him in my path at the time he did..................................and that I lied to get him to go on a date with me. HA! (I'll tell that story at another time)

I love you, my groom.
