Isn't he handsome? I'm sure you all feel that way about your husbands. He really does have some pretty cool powers though. A few of them are: making me mad in less than a nanosecond, making me melt in just as much time, making me feel safer than a bank vault, and getting me to laugh. It's been awhile since I wrote something for my dear husband. I love military life because we are never together long enough to get too terribly comfortable before they have to leave for a bit (be it a week or months). I hate military life for the same reason. However, I do find blessings in the times we are apart. I find that the longer they are gone, the more time I have to think about what he really does do for me. Well, for those of you who are wondering, he does quite a lot for our family. I like to feel as though he doesn't do anything because I have to deal with the girls all day or have to do most of the housework. The song I have on my playlist called "The Way I am" is a pretty good interpretation of us. Jeremiah shrugs it off when I get frustrated and mean because my house isn't clean and I have company coming. He is a wonderful father and they definitely know he's the patriarch! One look from him and they go running to their beds!! I wish I had that talent! He works hard each and everyday (sometimes even the weekends) for us. The boy has awesome work ethic!! I complain because I don't necessarily see that at home - but I suppose he should get a break sometimes. No one wants to work hard ALL the time!! (even though I would argue till I was blue in face that I work hard all the time) Everyone here that is married knows that there a million little things that can bother us and make us all too eager to punish them in some way. I'm just amazed how little those things are sometimes! He likes to let me go out and shop or be with some friends if I get the opportunity to give me a break when he can. But, the adversary is truly good at what they do - if a messy house will really turn my world upside down and ruin anyone's chances at seeing a smile on my face, that is usually what I get to come home to! Thus killing the good mood I might have been in from having a chance to go somewhere without my children. Time allows for perspective. I am grateful that I get that perspective often so that I don't continue to let the "little things" blind me.
