I'm not doing as well as I thought I would with this whole blogging thing. Why is it that something that comes so naturally to me (writing) is so hard to keep up with? Oh yeah, that's right. I work full time and usually spend my evenings in front of the TV with my hubby. Oops. ;)
Speaking of him. I am feeling awfully sappy today and thought I'd channel that sappiness into a blog post. Just so I can brag. A lot. Beware.
I really, really, really, really, really. Really. Really love my husband. I mean, really. I loved him when we were dating, I loved him when he proposed to me, I loved him on our wedding day, and I have loved him every day since. But... lately ... I have REALLY loved him. Why? Because it's nearly impossible not to, for one.
See, ever since my accident (no worries... I intend to devote an entire post about that lovely experience) he has been a complete and total Mr. Perfect. The list of things he has done for me is long and amazing, but just to share a few:
- He combed, dried, and brushed my hair for those first few days when my chest/back/neck/everything were too sore to even move;
- He has prepared (almost) all of my meals, and served them to me on the couch/in bed when necessary;
- He has completed ALL of our household chores for the past 3 weeks (laundry, dishes, general straightening up);
- He has completely taken care of our dog, making sure he is fed and all of that stuff but also making sure that he is played with properly, since my abilities have been limited;
- He has brought me to work and picked me up from work every single day since the wreck;
- He has run all of our errands... including grocery runs!;
- He has helped me to put on my sock and shoes when I just couldn't bend the right way to do it myself;
- He has done all of this without complaining ONCE, except to silently blast the man who hit me for putting me in this state.
In short... my husband has really proven to me lately that he took our vows seriously. "In sickness and in health. For better or for worse." (Note: those lines weren't actually a part of our vows, I don't believe, but we still abide by them as a married couple). He has really reminded me of just why I fell in love with him in the first place. He is kind, caring, generous, sensitive (as much as any man can be!), attentive, thoughtful, hardworking, and so, so loving. I complete adore him and have no idea how I would have made it through these past few weeks without him.
A car accident not only takes a physical toll on you (if you're injured) but it takes so much of a mental toll as well. No one really warns you about that part after a wreck. I've had complete and total basket case, break down moments. He has been there for every single one. Let's just say... tears don't scare my hubby! He just immediately sets his sights on making them go away. I am so blessed to have met him. To be able to call him mine. To know that we are forever.
We are a team, he always says. I am your biggest fan, he says. You are my favorite person ever, he says.
Gosh. I love him.
