My Husband


So...

I just wanted to say how much I love Josh. 

We had an unexpected date tonight.  Our friends that live across the hall asked us to watch their boys for them last night, so they watched our guys tonight in exchange.  It was great!  We went to St. Louis Bread Co. (known as Panera everywhere else) for dinner, and then we did some Christmas shopping.  The reason my husband is so great is the fact that he went Christmas shopping on a date.  You must understand that finding Christmas presents is my favorite thing about Christmas (the material part of it).  I love trying to come up with the perfect gift for each person.  I really hate it when I can't come up with that gift, though.  

I digress.  For those of you who know Josh, shopping is really not fun for him, but because I wanted to, he did.  It's not just the fact that he went shopping that makes him wonderful obviously, but when I thought of how he was doing something just to make me happy, I started thinking about how great he is overall.

Josh is an amazing man.  I'll just list some of my favorite qualities about him.  He's a man of God, which to me means he leads our family in worship, studying God's Word and teaching it to his family, being an example to our boys of God's grace and love, having faith in Christ, loving us all unconditionally and on and on.  He's extremely intelligent, which not only comes in handy when we're playing trivia, but he keeps me informed of important things.  I'm not saying I'm stupid, but he's certainly a level (or ten) above me sometimes.  Of course, he's a hottie.  I love those blue eyes and dazzling smile.  He's the best daddy around.  I couldn't ask for a better father for my little guys.  He's so sweet and tender when they need him to be, yet he's still able to dole out the discipline when necessary as well as being a wonderful example to them. He is the perfect fit for me.  God new exactly what he was doing when he put us together.  I can't wait until he gets home from work so that I can just melt into his arms, before my belly gets too big for it that is.  Yes, I'm pregnant again for those of you who didn't know.  I'm delighted that Josh and I will be having another little one to love and nurture.  Thanks, Lord, for my wonderful husband.

Mary Ann,

You are too cute! You make me smile. I think your hubby is pretty great too. I'm glad you two are still very much in love. Now I know who to come to when I need a little marriage counseling. Do the Duncan's charge for this service, or do you just consider it part of your outreach to crazy neighbors? Love you Girl!
